Ok so just a quick google search results in this:
So it seams like it can only apply to one group of people... White Europeans. I haven't heard much about Mexico dominating Hungary in any way, but I'm also pretty sure they disregard whatever happened there when they make beer in a cold fermentation process.
Once again this seems absurdist. I can't sell a meal in a tortilla unless I respect the original meaning of the tortilla (aka: bread), give credit to it's source (aka: the Aztecs), or have anything to do with assigning tortillas to anything negative?!? That's just a piece of a bread and a beer...
This can go anywhere. From the first people to spin and sell silks to modern things like the transistor. Also helped along by a Hungarian. Should I be offended if people don't acknowledge that when they use their phone? Of course not. Can't we let this mostly go?
I'd love to hear the perspective of somebody not super white like myself. Cause frankly, I don't get why it is an issue. My culture or anything created, invented or derived from a white mind or pallet is ok to do whatever with. Why, if equality is the goal, is every other possible denomination of person off limits?
Quote:Cultural appropriation refers to the use of objects or elements of a non-dominant culture in a way that doesn't respect their original meaning, give credit to their source, or reinforces stereotypes or contributes to oppression.
Quote:Cultural appropriation can occur when a dominant culture adopts cultural elements from a historically marginalized population and claims them as its own. Inappropriate or politically incorrect cultural appropriation disregards another population’s history, which can include oppression and persecution by that same dominant culture.
