Its just the victim mentality at work. They want to fear Whitie or whoever is stealing from them. My East Asian girlfriend and I went into the Cherokee reservation. Her mode of dress and hair treatment looked very local. NOBODY complained of cultural appropriation. She, herself, was flattered by the attention she got and called it "cultural APPRECIATION"
Nobody complained about cultural appropriation because that isn't what it is. Cultural appropriation isn't just somebody borrowing something from a culture.
It's a ideological nonsense term. The snowflake generation loves to take offense to shit on behalf of other people. You know when someone that's not part of your culture tries to immigrate your culture in a good spirit or as a joke, they call that "cultural appropriation" and they think if you do that, you're worse than Adolf Hitler. It's hilarious. And stupid.
If it’s as a joke it actually is offensive, because you are purposefully doing it at the expense of another culture. But most of the time it’s out of appreciation, and that is why it’s fucking stupid. I’ve even heard some people say you aren’t allowed to learn another cultures language if you aren’t from there, like what the actual fuck? They’ve gone full circle and created racism, like the far left in fact becomes the alt right! They are one in the same
@Archerer so what? xD it's a fucking joke. i know people depict germans as sauerkraut eating, beer drinking chumps. you think i care? it's a funny stereotype and taking offense to it, even if it's made fun of, is stupid. and even if someone makes amean spirited comment, so freaking what? they're entiteled to their opinion. their opinion doesn't hurt me.
i've seen a concerning trend of redefining words as "violence" ... it slowly takes a dark turn towards trying to legitimate answering that "verbal" violence with phyiscal violence... it's like nazi version 3.0. i don't see it as coming full circle. the political spectrum is more complicated than left and right. they are still far left but they are super autoritarian left and they have created a new form of racism and hate towards majority groups. as if it was evil or oppressive to be part of a majority group... the classical left was rather libertarian but this new wave is almost on hitlers level authoritarian...
I never said it couldn’t be funny... but it’s still offensive. There’s also jokes in good taste and jokes in bad tastes. Jokes are supposed to be funny, some offensive jokes aren’t funny they are just offensive. There are plenty of offensive jokes too... but either way that isn’t cultural appropriation, which was the question. Cultural appropriation has nothing to do with jokes or humour.
@Archerer yeah taste is obviously not an objective thing. so what's good or bad is opinion and nothing more. cultural appropriation is not offensive and even if it's offensive, so freaking what?
Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from minority cultures, though not the opposite.
I _think_ it is taking a particular thing and declaring it as belonging to/invented by some culture. Muslims seem to do this with music, which is idiotic considering music is like 100000 years old (predates religion by millenia) Turks declare almost everything Turkish, even if all they invented (or copied from the Mongols) is the stealing of children of those who look capable (but were disadvantaged artificially by the Ottomans - so their children could be stolen and married into inferior but more numerous families so Turkish 'gene pool' could improve (which it hasn't - most middle easterners are morons, like the Indians)
Mostly oversensitive nonsense. If someone who's not of Italian descent eats Italian-style food on a regular basis, should I be upset or annoyed? Of course not.
I mean a little bit like if a white person is walking around in a dashiki that might be cultural appropriation but a white women getting box braids is not cultural appropriation that’s going a little to far now I think it’s cringe and unattractive but I wouldn’t say It’s cultural appropriation
It's basically like as others said. When that certain culture is imitated as a part of fashion statement and praised by people, but in reality it's actually used to mock and make fun of that culture to whom it rightfully belongs to. A hypocritical situation
It’s just race baiting. It is possible to respect an aspect of another culture and implement it in your life without it being some kind of racist thing. Right now the single greatest mark of power is your victimization level. Applying something that you like from another culture into your life seems to be viewed as an attack on the victimization. All cultures have wisdom to offer, only a fool would refuse to accept something of value when it comes your way.
It's nonsense. It doesn't have a logical framework, so you can't logically understand it. It's full of inherent contradictions, especially the way that term has been used
Well some people are up here and others are down there. Simple really, its just a matter of knowing where you fit in the modern world. LMFAO Why is everyone and everything so serious these days. Lifes for living make the most of what you have, and have fun doi g it we're only here once
The "Problem" once was people have been furious as other people were stealing their culture, but in the modern ways of overreacting suddenly everything is now cultural appropriation.
It’s a dumb concept made up by basic white liberal tramps with no qualifications in life other than gender studies or some other made up useless degree
There was a YouTube video of a white kid getting his ass kicked because he had dreadlocks. They broke his phone and knocked him down and kicked him repeatedly. Just an excuse to be a bully.
it's a way to abolish all cultures because white liberals think celebrating a certain culture is offensive to the culture they are celebrating. keep abolishing until there is no more culture left except leftist white culture
only liberals and leftist are offended. the people leftist think are offended are never offended. it's all in leftist heads, they're fucking batshit insane
The other side of that is the genuine appreciation of other cultures. For example, chefs of one culture specializing in the cuisine of another culture or musicians composing or playing music from another culture. Or even white hippies who wear dreads. The problem is that cultural appropriation as a concept is that it is often used as a weapon.
It’s a method of communist subversion and historic revisionism. It’s like how Nazis burned books that conflicted with the ideas presented in their propaganda campaigns to make people ignorant of truth in favor of blind obedience.

i think the political left extreme autoritarian wing has grown more dangerous than the right one in recent history.

Plenty of good offensive jokes*

Well it’s funny that you seem very offended by it lmao
@Archerer by what?
Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from minority cultures, though not the opposite.
Hope this helps ✌️

Thanks 😊
No problem 🤗

Using another's culture in inappropriate ways, making fun of it, using something sacred as something sexual, etc.
Thank you
Inappropriate from the perspective of the native culture? Anyone could find anything as inappropriate so it’s kind of irrelevant
That's true and I also think you can choose not to care.
Exactly
Mostly oversensitive nonsense. If someone who's not of Italian descent eats Italian-style food on a regular basis, should I be upset or annoyed? Of course not.
It’s more complicated than that lol
@SmokinAces2000 it is 😊. I get that now. But speaking as a half Italian person, he’s not 100% wrong either.
@SmokinAces2000 I was being somewhat humorous in making my point, but it's not that much more complicated.

Well said.
Another stupid Marxist term to divide people.
Race is so important to leftists and Nazis (national socialists.)
Most of us don't give it any thought or care, we just care about individuals.
Wouldn’t the hit musical Hamilton on Broadway be considered cultural appropriation?
Not if it was written by an American WASP
It was written by a Puerto Rican.
Then technically yes. But I don’t think many DARs are gonna complain.
It's nonsense. It doesn't have a logical framework, so you can't logically understand it. It's full of inherent contradictions, especially the way that term has been used

It's propaganda designed by the Demunist Commiecrat Left to prevent us from learning from each other:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/pMYRYKvAEaYThe Concept in itself simply means something from one culture gets used by a member of a different cultural group.
Eg. Tribal Tattoos being used by American or European people.
The "Problem" once was people have been furious as other people were stealing their culture, but in the modern ways of overreacting suddenly everything is now cultural appropriation.

It’s disrespectful to appropriate something with a very specific meaning and purpose to one culture and misuse it in another culture.
The other side of that is the genuine appreciation of other cultures. For example, chefs of one culture specializing in the cuisine of another culture or musicians composing or playing music from another culture. Or even white hippies who wear dreads. The problem is that cultural appropriation as a concept is that it is often used as a weapon.
@jerdanro that is very true. There are positive ways to appropriate also. You see it a lot in cuisines.
Yes. A woman below said it perfectly, contrasting cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation.
That makes complete sense
It’s a method of communist subversion and historic revisionism. It’s like how Nazis burned books that conflicted with the ideas presented in their propaganda campaigns to make people ignorant of truth in favor of blind obedience.
