During ST Patty's day everyone and their mother dress in green, drink green beer and celebrate it like they're Irish and everyone seems to be okay with it.

It's OK in 99.9% of cases. It's bad in the extremely few cases of a person trying to claim they invented some other culture's shit while profiting of it.

Seems to be hard to define but as long as things are respected and celebrated and not stolen and capitalised on, it makes the difference.
Here's one I'm unsure about. White musicians singing black spirituals about slaves etc? You know, wade in the water, etc. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

There isn't some hard line and clear defined rule. It literally does come down to a case by case, know-it-when-you-see it kind of deal.
pinky0926 posted... Seems to be hard to define but as long as things are respected and celebrated and not stolen and capitalised on, it makes the difference. That is a weird one. I know when I was in elementary and middle school (when we required to take choir) we had to learn and sing several different traditional black songs. That makes sense, it would be super shitty if all the historical and traditional songs we learned were white/European songs. Kids should be exposed to and learn about American music from a wide variety of American experiences. But I have to imagine the image of an overwhelmingly white group of 12-year-olds singing Wade in the Water was a strange one, regardless. --- S*** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again. - Forgotten Love The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! ...

I'm trying to imagine a solo artist playing hammond organ and doing a bunch of gospel songs and getting famous for itNo that would be a disaster. I think one pretty agreed upon idea when it comes to cultural appropriation is that if you are lifting from another culture to profit or advance in a space where the people who's culture you are lifting from are still struggling to profit from or advance in, it is bad. To go back to St. Patrick's Day. The vast majority of people don't have a problem with bars doing specials for the day or stores selling St. Patrick's Day apparel, even if they aren't Irish owned, is because at least in modern times there isn't a whole lot holding someone of Irish decent back from success. People aren't profiting off Irish cultural while Irish Americans are still struggling to gain footholds in the business world. --- S*** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again. - Forgotten Love The Chiefs won the Super Bowl! ...

I think the idea of cultural appropiation is bad is bullshit.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating cultures. Celebrating people with different backgrounds, upbringing, different ideologies. You can't be against racism while also believing that cultural appropiation is bad. Because that means you are against the idea of celebrating other cultures. --- XboX GT/Steam/Wii-U - Nazanir ...

Also consider that the vast, vast majority of white people on the east coast do actually have some Irish heritage. Doesn't excuse the behavior of a lot of people but it is often a part of their identity.

Cultural appropriation doesn't and can't exist. You can't appropriate culture because culture is meant to spread to other people by design.
If you're intentionally using culture for personal gain, then it would be something like cultural exploitation. --- PSN/GT: BigDaffej ... Copied to Clipboard!
