More science, less exegesis, please: a rejoinder

I thank Professors Shyon Baumann, Magne Flemmen, Laurie Hanquinet, Vegard Jarness, Irmak Karademir‐Hazir, Paul Lambert, Omar Lizardo, and Lennart Rosenlund for their comments on my paper ‘Understanding Cultural Omnivores: Social and Political Attitudes’ (Chan 2019a). I will start with a brief recap of what I set out to do in that paper and my main findings.My goal is to adjudicate between two competing interpretations of cultural omnivorousness. Is it a novel way to draw social boundaries; a new expression of social superiority? Or perhaps omnivorousness has very little to do with distinction. In which case, omnivores are simply more open and tolerant people who want to try out different cultural styles.
