The Canadian flag is for Americans to hide that they are American so people won't insta-hate them when they travel. But the problem is that in at least some countries, they've figured out that Americans are doing this, and so the Canadian flag has lost its good will and positive standing. Americans have literally devalued this icon of Canadian culture. Soon, you'll be claiming that Justin Trudeau is your president, instead of that dude with the fox pelt on his head!
Quote:Tiz is insulted by a misuse of what Tiz feels to be somehow sacred. We are a secular nation, take a number. That Tiz has grounds for feeling that slight is unfortunate, and to a great extent an effect of poor relations between america, american culture, and the natives. I also sympathize, but the issue of dreamcatchers, today, doesn't fit the definition of cultural appropriation any more than white rappers or "black" hairstyles. They can be the ongoing effects of oppression and inequality..past and current....but, they just aren't an example of a person engaging in what is referred to by the term cultural appropriation. Despite the protestations of the mental midgets in the room..it really is a specific term to refer to a specific relationship and series of events.I've seen Eminem rap. Dude has language skills for sure-- he's like Rainman or something. I'm just scared what happens when more black people start playing ice hockey. Am I going to be left only with curling?
