This is a controversial topic. It really is.

For years now white people have been accused of being racist scumbags, which at some point was true. But now it's getting out of hand

I don't want to be blamed for something people of the same race as me did. For example black slavery, white people are still getting shit for it even though we ourselves didn't do it, whites many years ago did, and black people right now aren't being effected by the slavery. Also, why doesn't anyone mention the fact that blacks in Africa sold their slaves to the white people? Whites didn't kidnap the blacks for slavery, they bought them from other black people.

I don't live in America. I'm from the UK; so why are Americans getting angry at me for slavery? My ancestors didn't do it, I didn't do it. All I did was be European.

Now we can't even wear our hair the way we want to. People get angry if we put our hair in braids saying we are appropriating African culture, but braids didn't even come from Africa? Africans got it from women in the middle east. That's where the multiple braid hairstyle came from. We can't wear dreadlocks either, despite the fact that Vikings wore dreadlocks whilst not even knowing African people exist.

Now it's getting to the point where a little girl is verbally abused for wearing a Moana costume. All she did was dress up as her favourite disney princess. SJW's are insisting that all they want is zero racism, sexism, every other ism and world peace. Well guess what; by getting angry at a little girl for wearing a Moana costume is not stopping racism, it's provoking it. If you really wanted to stop racism you wouldn't have gotten angry at a 4 year old and would rather just ignore her costume or admire it.

There are so many things that people dress up in costumes that would be considered cultural appropriation. Here's a short list of some examples:

-VIkings

- Mimes

- Knights

- Any European folk costume

Funny thing about all this is when people get angry at someone for this culture appropriation bs it's usually not even someone from that culture. I'm half Polynesian half English (though I pass off as white, the only polynesian feature I have is my eyes and nose and I have darkish thick hair). I don't give a shit if someone dresses up as Moana. My step-auntie is Japanese, she doesn't care if someone dresses up as a Geisha.

In conlusion, this isn't to come for POC people. I'm POC myself. This to come at SJW's.
