I was just reprimended in a group coz I said “Chinese chicken” referring to a dish I was making. I was asking about how to eliminate fryig smell out of my house yet someone always comes along to educate me how it’s not appropriate and racist to call it Chinese. Yet the person is not even of Asian descent. She’s your average American Caucasian Jane. Do people not have better things to do ?
What makes things appropriation is simple!
Example: what is the origin of the hoop earring? 🤔 (coughs loudly) "AFRICA"
… now in a capitalist society that really only succeeds because of exploitation, WHO REAPS THE REWARDS OF CAPITAL that is connected to the origin of the earring?? Not the Africans who slave in gold mines for penny's while Peter and Claude rake in millions… cultural appropriation is that thing ppl do when they don't appreciate something until it benefits them… having said that Joe Rogan couldn't have this podcast without us for several reasons… that doesn't make HIM the "appropriater" but likely the company that produced his microphone MOST CERTAINLY IS🤷🏽
I guess I’ll stop using anything not made in the USA since it could be construed as cultural appropriation… perhaps anybody who’s not from Anglosaxone descent should also stop speaking English..
I agree with your argument. The world is a melting pot, it’s about coming together, merging our history going forward instead of getting hung up on the past. And building a culture together means sharing food, fashion, art, etc.. it’s ridiculous 🤦🏻♂️
I remember when black people were made fun of for big lips, dark skin, braids, etc. You look at society today and all I see is emulation. You got white girls going to the gym doing squats for a bigger butt. But I remember when they used to think it was fat and unattractive. After a while you won’t be able to tell the difference between blacks and these other races.
At the end of the day you're talking about people forcing other people to do stuff because they want to. That is why the United States of America exists resist tyranny at all costs.
