The idea is that you're taking something valuable from a group that you hold power over without recognising that it's their culture. Basically the idea (at least when I read about it) was that it's a kind of plagiarism. Which is why the term is bad - it makes it sound like you're taking a really cool culture and incorporating it (who could possibly object to that) versus basically plagiarising.

 

Well, then most of the world owes a lot of money to britian...and America, then. Oh and China's going to go flat broke. :P

Does no one care about the K-Pop? Where would the world be if hyper-attractive well groomed and coordinated Korean youth could not shamelessly appropriate the beats of a hundred foreign cultures?

Where is your humanity? Have you no Seoul?

thing is christmas was more about revelry and celebration than Religion so i think it would be the same only it would just be the solstice instead.

 

Yeah, but sacrificing some moose to some chief deity is as good a time as ever to break out the kegs.

K-Pop is fine.

 

Fast and loud Japanese pop-rock is what's annoying me.

It would take an hour to explain everything that is wrong with this horrible post.

I particularly love the old "women live in a dangerous world" speech. Never mind that violence against men is much more common than violence against women, and I've never seen anyone fear-mongering about how men can't walk out in the street without fear of being assaulted. Never mind that by that logic, African Americans and Hispanics should have Bruce Lee levels of proficiency in martial arts by virtue of living in poor, crime-ridden neighborhoods.

 

I would love it if Random Guy on the Internet provided reliable sources for his statements that demonstrated he hadn't just pulled them out of his ass, but somehow I doubt that's likely.

 

Eh. You work hard enough, and you can rationalize just about anything in the name of ideology. With a little sophistry and emotional appeals and buzzwords, and anything can be made a moral imperative.

 

Me? I like how many meanings there are for 'equality,' and how some people throw around the word 'oppression.'

Frankly, I cannot comprehend how someone can call white people rapping oppression and use it to exalt how horrible white people are when white farmers are being kicked out of their farms in Zimbabwe.

 

Much like stupidity, racism knows no borders.

As a spiritual female mustelid otherkin I find this to be a typical example of patriarchal first world condescension and extremely triggering. Our culture is both unique and precious to us. We need to keep it both pristine and unsullied in its crystalline perfection.

I didn't realise you could copyright a culture.

Does this mean that eastern businessmen aren't allowed to wear business suites anymore, because that's a western thing. And Africans can't have technology because that's a western thing too. And nobody's allowed to drink Guinness except the Irish.
And you bloody American's have to stop speaking English, because that belongs to us Brits!
:rolleyes:

Ah, but my great-great-great-grandfather was a Brit, so I can do anything a Brit can do. Also my great-great-great-grandmother was an African slave, and I myself am Hispanic, so if you disagree with me you're a racist scumbag and might as well be a registered member of the KKK. Frankly, I don't even know why I bothered with the first sentence. I'm a minority, so obviously I can't be racist. Cultural appropriation is something white scumbags like yourself do. You privileged shitlord!  :P

 

PS: I've always considered myself white, but for some mysterious reason Americans tend to disagree. Frankly, you're all so pale, I'm surprised you haven't gone extinct due to spontaneous combustion  ;)

So you DON'T think Iggy on the mic is a crime against humanity? How high are you right now?

Ah, cultural appropriation. What happens when you want to talk about how awful white people, or other white people if you're feeling particularly self righteous, and start reaching for straws.

One of the dumbest things I've heard was a fellow Hispanic saying he felt oppressed because WASPs were trying to learn Spanish.

Didn't you guys make this?

 And Africans can't have technology because that's a western 

 

Wouldn't it be a Chinese/Mesopotamian thing?

I don't see how it's necessary since the camera feels the need to slam them in the audience's collective face every once in a while.
