Sombreros are racist unless one submits to a blood test establishing proper mestizaje between Iberian and Mixtec/Nahua/Maya blood.

I, for one, am delighted that the University of East Anglia has its priorities straight.

[W]e know that when it comes to cultural appropriation the issues can sometimes be difficult to understand and many don’t realise that they may be about to cause offence or break a policy. Because racism isn't about intent, it's about appearance.

This is why White Pride rallies are going to come back.

EDIT: Nope, because we're already banning White heritage in America so I guess the only proper genocide is a white genocide. :shrug:

I'm glad that people have realized that cultural appropriation is problematic and are making moves to support cultural segregation instead.

British student unions are universally completely useless and/or the scum of the earth. They are also considered a complete joke by about 3/4 of the student body as a rule. The problem is that generally no normal ableist slur detected people doing a real degree have the time or inclination to wade through the cesspool of student politics, so the only people running for positions are trust fund hipstrs doing land economy or [insert buzzword] studies with really strong opinions about things who then stand unopposed against the "none of the above" option during elections that hardly anyone realises are happening in the first place. When they inevitably implement bullshit policies concerning their pet peeves, everyone else shakes their head but can't be arsed to do anything about it because who the gently caress cares about student politics that will stop affecting you in like two years.

Sadly, the prime advocate for segregation is currently probated. But we will surely have a productive discussion about the merits of putting the world's subjectively underprivileged cultures into an open air zoo in D&D despite this setback.

Funny, the article appears to have nothing to do with the OP?

quote:

Union officials pointed to a key advertising policy sent to all stallholders before the freshers’ fair that bans potentially racist imagery. It reads: “Discriminatory or stereotypical language or imagery aimed towards to any group or individual based on (discriminatory) characteristics will not be permitted as part of our advertising.”

The policy specifies 15 types of discrimination, including colour, ethnic origin, and nationality. When the ban was pointed out to workers on the Pedro’s stall, they were happy to stop the promotion, according to a report in The Tab, a student newspaper.

Considering advertisement sombreros to be culturally appropriated racist tools of oppression will surely protect the completely oppressed UK Mexican minority that definitely exists in the way student union occifers imagine and there exists no country in which Mexican culture isn't oppressed.

i.e. it's still dumb even if you think the OP is dumb, too

also lol at the well-known bastion of journalistic integrity and factual accuracy The Tab being cited as a source :thumbsup: (in this case the thing actually happened though)

There has been a cultural appropriation thread previously, and posters who shall not be named advocated policies which would effectively segregate all cultures that are deemed to be of insufficiently similar oppression level to preserve their purity of essence or something.

In Kommunist Russia Kapitalist China, Asian appropriates you!

Seriously, China and to a lesser extent other South East Asian countries are chock full of mindless aping of ~western~ cultural things, ranging from intentionally similar knockoff products to skin whitening cream for beautiful women (:staredog:) to whole fake castles and cities, which would be totally offensive if you did it here.

Same in the west (only dirty peasants get sunburn after all), but the cancer has spread even into generally brown-skinned populations on the Southern Asian island nations.

Considering he gets cited often in these discussions (usually along the lines of "you should know this so if you haven't read his doorstopper yet you are a terrible human being and should just kill yourself"), by orientalists of a slightly different shade who are immune to irony, at least a bit.
