Topic	Is it cultural apropiation if a ukranian dude dress as a samurai for halloween?
dainkinkaide 05/02/18 10:22:16 PM #20:	The idea behind cultural appropriation is that one should not be able to just adopt another's culture for prom night, Halloween, or Cinco de Mayo, only to toss it away the next day. Culture is about history, lived experiences, It's not about "who's more oppressed than who", because that's a bullshit measurement; it's about not respecting other cultures. Cultural appropriation is effectively saying something akin to "I'm going to be Japanese for a day" without that day being, say, February 19th, 1942. --- The problem with the internet today is that it's filled with entire generations that did not grow up with the great wisdom of the Wyld Stallyns. <cite>dainkinkaide posted [p:900708545] in Is it cult...
