I think this person may have won an olympic gold medal for biggest reach....


Offensive things Katy Perry did

1. Said "shook"
2. Said her wig was "snatched"
3. Used the word clapback in a podcast a few months ago.


The audacity of her!

I mean it is cultural appropriation

But it's also the near unavoidable not necessarily negative kind that you're going figuratively kill yourself trying to fight

Yes she's using popular American slang that kids of all races in the inner city are using. The monster.

I'll alert the others that lit is off limits now.

Katy Perry seems like the type of person that would say these things.

I wouldn't call using contemporary slang "cultural appropriation".

I'm so out of the loop even after reading the article and watching the video I have no idea what's going on. I've never heard those terms in real life except snatched whig, which usually implies fighting.

I wouldn't call using contemporary slang "cultural appropriation".

It transferred from one cultures (urban hip hop) to main stream culture.

That alone makes it cultural appropriation, least in the broad sense.

That doesn't mean it's necessarily a bad thing though.

Maybe in the SJW sense, but this doesn't even come close to the true meaning of cultural appropriation.

"Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of the elements of one culture by members of another culture.[1] Cultural appropriation, often framed as cultural misappropriation, is sometimes portrayed as harmful and is claimed to be a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating culture.[2][3][4][5] Often unavoidable when multiple cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using other cultures' traditions, food, fashion, symbols, technology, language, and cultural songs without permission"

So yeah it is, but it's the unavoidable kind that doesn't really hurt much (also called cultural diffusion)

Which is why I said bitching about every minor case of cultural appropriation is just going to end up with you figuratively killing yourself
