That's because rednecks are white and even the poorest of poor white trash wields more institutional power than even Barack Obama.

That's because appropriating redneck culture actually turns you into a redneck.

I thought cultural appropriation was poo poo like sports fans dressing up like braves and hopping around hooting like idiots or rich white woman putting on serapes and sombreros while drinking margaritas and screaming at their yard crew. But apparently it's disabled people doing low impact exercises?

the documentary linked in the OP is a real trip

i'd only ever encountered this poo poo in the wild on the internet before, seeing people chanting it and verbally assaulting dudes in person is kind of rocking my world here





well not really i already knew how this poo poo would look but id avoided any videos of it until now because i knew they would be dreadfully awkward

i feel like an old man half-listening to his grandchildren and chiming in with a "that's nice, sweetie" as they prattle on about how the whole world is so unfair

This is especially loving retarded because modern hatha yoga was brought to the west by an Indian man specifically looking to spread the culture to the west in order to bring enlightenment and fresh perspectives about the practice to people outside of his culture who would not otherwise have been exposed to it. Hatha yoga was looked down upon by most of Indian society at the time and likely would have remained a lost or esoteric tradition if it hadn't gained a foothold in the west. The group of people who popularized it here were constantly accused of witchcraft and impure practices and got chased out of basically everywhere they settled. It is loving amazing that hatha yoga not only survived but flourished here. The whole philosophy is yoga is that literally anyone can do it and that it is a practice that can be easily combined with any religious practice in order to deepen your understanding of the Self. It's a philosophy built from the ground up to be practiced by anyone regardless of faith or starting physical ability. Banning it shows a startling lack of understanding about the foundational parts of the practice

Hatha Yoga is weak rear end poo poo anyway.

Raja Yoga > all.

Ahimakin said the student federation put the yoga session on hiatus while they consult with students "to make it better, more accessible and more inclusive to certain groups of people that feel left out in yoga-like spaces. ... We are trying to have those sessions done in a way in which students are aware of where the spiritual and cultural aspects come from, so that these sessions are done in a respectful manner."

'The Sun' leans conservative HARD, an is owned by Murdoch last I checked. More mainstream papers cover the subject too: http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/u-of-o-students-decision-to-cancel-yoga-class-sparks-internet-backlash

I also want to remind people the cultural appropriate thing to do before many University held groups in Ottawa is to remind everyone that where they are at that very moment, ''is native land.''

It feels right at first, an then it gets stale an looks more like something white people say to make them feel better about colonialism.

Disabled people aren't a "culture". Disabled people don't inherently interact predominantly with disabled people, inherently have familial or social ties to other disabled people, or have any other defining social link or common ground that would define them as a culture. Disability isn't something people do because they're into it and think it's cool.

That is literally the dumbest poo poo I've ever heard. Good luck with that. As long as you say something on the news enough times it is or becomes true. But I think what you really need are just a few more examples to make it seem more legit...

We need to rigorously maintain divisions among creeds, each keeping to their own ways. Apartheid of religious, cultural, and culinary practices is absolutely essential. You know, for social justice.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if that ilk started bleating that it was "appropriative" to learn a foreign language.

these people literally have brain damage causing them to feel this way (to the somatosensory cortex). calling them fetid cunts rather than mentally ill is kinda dumb.

What's the point of languages again? It's not a method of communicating with people, right? The idea is for it to be a secret code so you can talk about people of other cultures without them knowing what you're saying, right? Also, English is the default human language and the one all white people speak, and no white people have ever been native Spanish speakers? I'm pretty sure that's all accurate

english basically is the default language now, its the language of business, similar to how French was 500 yrs ago
