"Cultural Appropriation"

[The Grand Nudger]

Khemikal Wrote:
You called it a newly minted term to excuse your ignorance.  I informed you that this was not the case.  Are you now bitching that, unless it's written on a cave wall........you;re still right?  Honestly, what's the terminus of this argument....to demonstrate that you are unaware of the meaning of a term?  Because that's how this ends.

Each word is old, but the concept as a negative is a new idea. That's why it's become such a flash point of discussion as of late. 

The act is as old as the examples which demonstrate it's existence.  The discussion of the concept, in earnest, is decades old.  You seem to think some shit for brains "sjw" came up with it last wednesday to smear decent not-racists™ like yourself.   

You have a higher threshold for relative newness than I do.  

As do you. Google it yourself and you will see many different opinions on this subject. You're arrogant condescension carries no weight and never has.

What I won't see, is no definition, or many disparate definitions.  By all means, share your opinions - but lets not use your opinions or the opinions of other to deflect from the silly nonsense that you saw fit to saddle yourself with thusfar. There uis much disagreement as to what specific example -is- or -was- cultural appropriation, but no coherent way to insist that there is no such thing, and no difference..for example, between cultural appropriation and learning a new language.

Since the entire point of this thread is the meaning of the term... then yes, you did create the difference and you did it using your racist ideology.

......lol?  My racist ideology that dominant cultures have, in a distinctly colonial relationship, exploited their minority wards?  

So once again you frame disagreement with yourself as an example of racism. Can you be an atheist if you think you're god?
I've given examples and describe why I see no difference. You've vomited out an opinion with nothing to back it up other than an arrogant belief that everyone is a bigot except you. And I find this amusing as you are one of the most bigoted people who post at this site.

I didn't frame it as racism, I explicitly called it tone deafness.  

What makes cultural appropriation particularly onerous..is the refusal to acknowledge the creator culture in the first place. To assure ourselves, over and over "It wasn't like that, it didn't happen, is it really bad anyway?"

Yes, it was, yes, it did...and yes..it's really that bad - but it doesn;t have to fucking be...just a little acknowledgement would go a long way. Too much to ask, huh? Too much to ask because it has you a-feared that any such acknowledgement would make you a bigot...like it's..apparently, made me a bigot......in your not-bigoted™ opinion.

Honestly, what the fuck?
