"Cultural Appropriation"

[The Grand Nudger]

He's not railing against white men.  He's arguing that cultural appropriation is real, and that it's a bad thing.

I'm not actually arguing that it's real.  That would just be arguing that history occurred.  There's no debate about whether or not such appropriation happened, the disagreement is whether or not it is equivalent to learning your next door neighbors foreign language. To wearing dredlocks. To a white kid in a marley shirt, etc.

I'm explaining the ways that it's distinct from other forms of cultural transfer, -why- people feel the need to separate it from other forms of transfer, and clearing up any misconceptions people had about what was being discussed by that use of the term.

To the first, I present the distinctions people have explicitly referred to in their use of the term. To the second, the fact that this normalizes historic and present exploitation and racism as the same thing as learning a foreign language, and to the third...that it aint about white guilt or even white people. It's a race neutral phenomena. We can leave all of that nonsense to the psycho sjws, alt-white shitheels, and other assorted sympathetic mouthpieces.
