One of the issues of the “woke” crowd is cultural appropriation. We are told that a person of one race adopting the culture, dress, or language of another culture is wrong. Pale skin red head with dreadlocks? Nope. White guy playing a Native American in a Western? Uh-uh.
But then why is okay for a person of apparent African American decent to portray Cathryn of Arygon in the Broadway musical Six?
Can only White People be guilty of cultural appropriation? Is there a list of rules somewhere, so I can keep up?
I'm gonna appropriate the hell out of some pizza soon.
ReplyDeleteMeh, American pizza isn't Italian. ;)

ALL of their stupid rules contradict each other. SO sick of them. Bleh.

And what about the casting of Ariel in the new “Little Mermaid” movie? Marine biologists proved long ago that ALL mermaids are white. Geez. Ginger
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I am liberal, but cultural appropriation is ridiculous. I can see some of it. But, most things I love come from other cultures. However, if it is worn in derision, that is different.
ReplyDeleteMe again...
ReplyDeleteIt has been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
There is no such thing as cultural appropriation. That's a made-up term created by the Perennially Indignant. The Perennially Indignant should be ignored.
