Yes, because my culture made everything important so clearly it's just an excuse for everyone else to have a victim complex.

It's mostly the other groups bitching about white people "stealing" their cultural identities.

Stop, collaborate, and listen!

Actually, forget the collaboration, nah this is highschool, stop copying!

I remember when kids would get hissy because no, they were the first to wear this style or brand this is just the macro level of that mentality. LMAO.

I don't know, I remember years back some of my friends went to a Mexican restaurant for Cinco de Mayo dressed with ponchos, sombreros and fake moustaches, which seems kind of excessive and racist to me. But I'm not sure if that is "cultural appropriation" or just a racist caricature like blackface at that point. Anyways, the whole "cultural appropriation" thing seems dumb because the people who make fun of it always pull from the most ridiculous examples, as usual, but there is probably some validity to it.

I guess cultural appropriation would be more like telling somebody they can't wear a sombrero, even if they aren't trying to "look Mexican" with it

Yes, it's horseshoed segregation. "Keep them separate, keep them pure" was a slogan of hate groups before it became... well, I guess SJWs are effectively a hate group.

Much cringe, such post.

Also, for a person who talks a big game about inclusion, you seem to be mighty okay with segregation.

First off, a lot of topics get buried. Although it's not as fast as other social boards, it's still a social board. Second, I tag a lot of topics for that reason.

And you don't understand the history of segregation if you don't recognize the fairly direct parallels here. Not to mention that you even still have the angry mobs and death threats, it's just a different camp doing it.

I can get behind the fundamental concept of respecting other cultures and making an effort to understand them before adopting parts of them, since that's just a decent thing to do. The usual application of the term, however (read: white people doing anything white people didn't invent), is just obnoxious tumblr slacktivism at best.

I can't get behind this. If something is useful it's origin or significance to someone else is an unnecessary detail.
