In Thailand they didn't really celebrate birthdays so they didn't have a happy birthday song. When it became general knowledge that people in other countries celebrated birthdays they of course wanted a birthday song to sing. So they just stole the happy birthday song, which they sing in English while clapping a little too quickly for how the song goes, except for the part where it goes "Happy birthday dear Person's Name" they just "Happy birthday, happy birthday happy birthday."

This is cute and a good thing and it shows that Thai people are capable of appreciating and integrating foreign things into their lives. Getting frothy and demanding they not sing happy birthday, or even further that they ought not celebrate birthdays at all because at one time they did not, is really loving stupid. Even if their birthday song is kinda ching chongy and bad.

It's the same for anyone that actually thinks cultural appropriation is a bad thing. It's a good thing. There's nothing wrong with a white woman buying a mumu. It's fine for an Italian to make sushi. Your culture doesn't belong to you, it's not an ownable thing. You have an advantage when you participate in it, be happy to leave it at that.

Thai people aren't the problem man. Cultural appropriation exists on the very broad spectrum of 'everything is cool as long as a white person isn't doing it.'

nah that was really just you and my response was that people were justifiably upset about the doublestandards but the topic overall was more one that you just needed to know about then something you need to call individuals out on. Kind of an awareness thing and this thread is a really good example of how not enough people are yet aware of it. hence why I said that it was a valid academic discussion but the lady getting super confrontational over a dumb hippy was still wrong, sometimes everyone's wrong.

Yeah! Sometimes everyone's wrong.... accept for ArbitraryC here.

Since you're so culturally aware of everything, maybe you could enlighten all of us?
What's the harm in some stupid rear end Jewish dude rolling around with dreads aside from looking like an idiot? It's hair for fucks sake. Like someone said, it's not like he's rolling around in blackface.

Nope that's not at all what I said on either account. Literally not once in this thread have I suggested that white people shouldn't be able to wear dreads or otherwise borrow things they think are cool from other cultures. In fact I explicitely said in several posts that the lady should not have harassed the guy over his choice in hairstyle and it was dumb of her to do so. I have only discussed why people are upset and talk about the doublestandards inherent in stuff like this and what cultural appropriation means from an academic context rather than a shrieking post on a gawker affiliate.

I'm not gonna look back through this whole thread, but I'm fairly confident you've done nothing to define cultural appropriation other than allude to some scholarly articles that you've failed to provide.
