Nope... Posted yesterday. All the comments are pretty funny though, mostly wondering if we've fallen through a wormhole and it's 2015 again.

The uruk-hai defender has logged on.

To be fair, the quote is that his father "took part in liberating Paris from Socialism and Communism". Maybe he was in the Wehrmacht and Tuberville is referring to the German march to Paris, not the Allied one. :colbert:

9/10 times, the second someone mentions cultural appropriation online, you know you're in for a hot take. A white woman on my FB feed tried to argue the other day that white people wearing head coverings in bed to protect their hair at night was cultural appropriation. Completely ignoring POC people who were telling her she had no idea what she was talking about, and wearing sleep caps while sleeping =/= appropriating black culture. One black lady pointed out that she was being a little racist, assuming that all black people had the same type of hair, and ofc was immediately dogpiled on by a ton of white people.

And then the same white people go to a New Age shop and spend $150 on "Indian crystals" that are totally used by Navajo medicine men to erase evil spirits in your gallbladder or whatever.

Also, if it were real it would have way more reverse racism in it. Pointing out that all the secret service agents are white men or something.

One of the things about "cultural appropriation" that shits me the most is the food stuff.

So every time as a kid when my brother or I would invite friends round to our house and Dad cooked them a dosa and they liked it, was that cultural appropriation? Everytime as an adult when I have cooked for friends and they asked how to do so and I have shared my grandmothers recipe for Sambar, am I facillitating cultural appropriation?

Also, lets take it further, and away from food. When I bring my American, English etc. friends to watch a game of AFL on the TV at a local bar, and they enjoy it, is that cultural appropriation? (Footy is hugely important in Australian culture.) How about is the fact that I enjoy cricket, and was introduced to it by my Indian father? Is that cultural appropriation? (Cricket was invented in England)

I am not saying that cultural appropriation does not exist, nor am I denying that it can be hugely offensive and hurtful.

But instead I am trying to say that good cool things are good and cool. And if your culture has stuff that is good and cool, then you should share it with others who did not have previous access to the goodness and coolosity, and it is a good thing if/when they start doing them because they are good and cool.

I believe where the idea of food as cultural appropriation comes from is white chefs making a name for themselves with food from other cultures, often without attributing or paying the people of that culture that taught them/gave them recipes.

This was than misinterpreted and spread as eating other cultures food is somehow appropiation.

Yeah, it's that. The problem isn't white people enjoying ethnic food or making it at home for themselves, it's privileged people earning money and praise off of someone else's marginalized culture.

Cultural exchange is cool and good. Something is gained, nothing is lost, everybody wins.

Cultural appropriation is a very specific thing, in which something of cultural significance is misused. Like, a native american headdress says something about the wearer's tribe and accomplishments. Most cultures with a tradition of facial tattoos similarly include a lot of personal and cultural history in the expression thereof. Copying those expressions as an outsider is basically akin to stolen valor, and would be a crime if those cultures were afforded a fraction of the respect granted to the military.

Anything which does not mock something of cultural significance is not appropriation. If you wear a kimono every day you are doing no more harm than if you wore a three-piece suit every day; those are items of formalwear and you're just being a tool.

This stuff is in a bit of a gray area, but I'd personally file it under "cultural commodification," which is its own phenomenon that is distinct from appropriation, and is lovely for a bunch of more familiar capitalist exploitative reasons.
