"Cultural Appropriation"

[The Grand Nudger]

Khemical, I have no idea why you're unwilling to admit that at least a large portion of the world doesn't define cultural appropriation the way that you do. I provided definitions and usages from two of the most prestigious dictionaries in the world. Yet, you still continue to make statements like "that's not cultural appropriation the way the term means" and "unless you're an alt-white racist, your culture doesn't think of cultural appropriation as buying a dream catcher." The only time I've seen cultural appropriation described as you have just described it is by you in this thread. I bet that's the case for several people.

Shell....I've spent the entirety of this thread...since my very first post, explaining nothing -other- than the fact that cultuiral appropriation as used by both the psycho sjws and their non psycho peers in social sciences and race studies is -not- what most people think it is (and...specifically, that it's -not- what those psycho sjws think it is).  That it -doesn't- refer to the things they think it does.  I just don't understand what the fuck you're on about, and I get that you may have been previously oblivious to the use and the argument...but so what - you can't be now, after my explaining it multiple times.

ETA: I did see that you used the term "in my usage" in your most recent post, Khemical. Well, there you go. The way you define it, it's shitty. I doubt that's in question. Killing, hurting, disenfranchising people and then using their culture is bad. Having dreadlocks is not. /thread.

You doubt it;s in question?  It;s not my fault that you haven't read the thread or the comments I;ve fielded after trying to offer clarity.  It never will be.  Not only is it in doubt that cultural appropriation -as I've defined it- is a bad thing™ in this thread..it's in doubt in the wider world..and it's inclusion in the same category as learning a language demonstrates that it's fundamentally overlooked and not given due attention.  That's -why- folks offered a more specific use of the term in the first place.

Yes, disenfrachising and exploiting is bad, dreadlocks are not... you and I think that would be the end of the thread...that's what I've been saying for pages and pages and pages...and yet it lives, lol.  So maybe those folks who argued for a more specific use of language have a point after all, eh? Look at this thread. It's purportedly about something very real, very terrible, and very simple to understand. Instead..it's a trainwreck of racial guilt, of people out or under nativing each other...of people claiming or denying gender privilege or how hard their life was. Of people trying to grab some deference for their religious paraphernalia. Of "I'm not a racist, you're a racist" shitposts. It stinks so bad it drew the actual alt white flies.

That's entirely representative of peoples misunderstanding and confusion surrounding the term and it's use -by any definition-. It would be hilarious if it weren't so horrible.
