Today in Cultural Appropriation

Dr. Jinx

 

White men are the only demographic that has this much trouble with the idea that some subjects need only their attention, not their interjection.

 

For shame, these two

 

Oh, I can see how you feel about it. Your side will have all the control you desire in about 10-12 years, and at that point you can shit down the throats of whoever you please, wherever you please.

I'm trying to tell you how good it's all going to feel when it happens.

 

I know you're smart enough to see how stupid these distinctions are. Gee, what if someone's only partially "of that culture", is it OK for them to do it? Is there a minimum "of the culture" threshold one must meet to be allowed to do such things without appropriation accusations?

As far as I'm concerned, the whole cultural appropriation concept is bullshit. No group has ownership rights over any fashion, style or type of expression. CA is just a term some sociology professor in search of tenure and notoriety made up--and then got a bunch of gullible students and wannabe PC warriors like Stain and sportspredictor to jump aboard--so now we've got to deal with knucklehead CA cops constantly looking for violations of a some new fabricated PC crime. Can we really not find more worthy things to bitch about?

I think it probably started pretty reasonably - it seems OK to me that Chief Illiniwek is no longer a thing.

I once covered a high school where the male and female mascots smoked a "peace pipe" as part of the pre-game ceremony.

I mean, come on.

 

Want to try addressing @RickStain 's point? It's not a bad one.

 

A big reason why none of this ever resonates is the lecturing, indignant tone taken. Even the people who were yelling at the high school girl in the Chinese-influenced dress probably had a kernel of a point, but no one responds particularly well to getting RickStained.

 

Yeah, but rappers say the n-word all the time!

 

Flame up the internets because a white teenager liked/wore a thrift-shop score ... yeah, I can see how the problem traces back to how awful not-woke white men are.

 

Should white people quit yoga?

What color gets to claim microbrews as its own?
