yourDaddie 05/02/18 4:39:57 PM #1:	So cultural apropiation basically is when a member of a dominant group uses something from an opressed group... However remember Japan has the 3rd largest economy in the world, it is one of the richest nations on the planet and was a colonial power that won wars against China and Russia...while Ukraine is a very poor country that has always been oppresed by it's neighbors... --- I am your father <cite>yourDaddie posted [p:900691484] in Is it cult...

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. Sure they should. Why not? This has been going on for millennia. Cultures meet, trade ideas, fashion, games, celebrations, and such. Other cultures take those ideas, consider them, maybe change them a bit and come up with something new and interesting. That's how we advance as a species and as a society. The idea that you can't partake in someone else's culture unless you "live their history" is patently ridiculous. I'm a firm believer in multiculturalism and it's frustrating to me to see that not only is it now under attack from the extreme right ("Go back home, ya gat dang furriners, and take those funny clothes ya wear with ya!"), which is nothing new, but now it's also being attacked by the extreme left ("All cultures are sacred and should not be emulated unless you are a part of them") with this "cultural appropriation" bullshit. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

Why not? This has been going on for millennia. Cultures meet, trade ideas, fashion, games, celebrations, and such. Other cultures take those ideas, consider them, maybe change them a bit and come up with something new and interesting. That's how we advance as a species and as a society. The idea that you can't partake in someone else's culture unless you "live their history" is patently ridiculous.
