Do you think people from different backgrounds dressing up for paddys day is cultural appropriation? (Page 2)

[OddBeMe]

I have heard complaints how this makes the Irish seem like drunken idiots.

But I guess the squeaky wheel gets the attention. If they cared as much as say BLM, we’ll talk.

[Snakeyes7]

If the progressives weren't hypocrites, then yes but they will never admit that. Cultural appropriation is such a stupid and needlessly divisive concept anyway.

[Drumlin2001]

Totally cultural appropriation, bit it's accepted by society. It's a double standard

[ragooo8]

The Irish are very inclusive of their culture and generally impossible to offend.

[crmoore]

By the (loosely applied) standards of certain prominent political parties, yes. In actuality, no.

[Prg11]

Irish are considered dumb for a reason. Who cares about Paddy's?

If I can’t paint my face black, run around looting and making monkey noises, then don’t celebrate my drinking holiday.

[connemara_crocodile]

1- who ever did that? Shut the fuck up

2- the fact that for you (and many others) st Patrick's day is a "drinking holiday" shows how racist people in general are...

Doesn’t change history

[lrina]

does change your seriousness about this topic though.

People or color as a collective don't need their hands held. Virtually every person of color I personally know is a perfectly competent individual who is doing well for themselves. And they didn't need me, or anyone else, to help them feel comfortable.

[crmoore]

People of color*

[connemara_crocodile]

So you believe muslims in Spain owe white people reparations because of their invasion and killing throughout the middle ages? Or Mongols to Europe?

Sorry I believe in equality, I don't think the colour of my skin should force me to do anything or gives me any responsibility.

[snowboarder720]

@connemara_crocodile interesting how your first concern is white people in Spain. Are you equally as passionate about reparations for American descendants of slavery?

[crmoore]

@snowboarder720

His first thought isn't "white people should benefit!", he was just using an inverted example that commonly trips up the "reparations" narrative. And he's not passionate about reparations for white people, his remark wasn't a statement that her personally subscribes to, it was a question used to criticize the foundation of the argument in favor of "reparations (but only for black people)."

@anon

How do you make some one else feel something? You are responsible for your feelings. Not anyone else’s.
