Quote:Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of the elements of one culture by members of another culture.[1] Cultural appropriation, often framed as cultural misappropriation, is sometimes portrayed as harmful and is claimed to be a violation of the collectiveintellectual property rights of the originating culture.[2][3][4][5] Often unavoidable when multiple cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using other cultures' traditions, food, fashion, symbols, technology, language, and cultural songs without permission.[6][7] [8] According to critics of the practice, cultural (mis)appropriation differs from acculturation, assimilation, or cultural exchange in that the "appropriation" or "misappropriation" refers to the adoption of these cultural elements in a colonial manner: elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture, and these elements are used outside of their original cultural context—sometimes even against the expressly stated wishes of representatives of the originating culture.[5][9][10][11][12][13]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation]
Bold and ital mine. To show where a person has to conveniently stop reading..and what they definitely have to ignore, to imagine that I'm using a novel definition of the term. Conveniently, if you google it, and don;t oipen the link..it actually -does- stop there, where the ital starts. Coincidence? Doubtful. This isn't the first time I've linked it, either.
Is wiki a feminist website, numbskull? What made you run off to see if it was femi-nazism, anyway? You're a fucking moron. Anyone can do it, anyone capable of exerting that power in that sort of colonial relationship.
