"Cultural appropriation" as a negative thing is such a ridiculous concept.

Yep. Perhaps if there was more "cultural appropriation" of white culture in the black community 3/4 of their babies wouldn't be born to single mothers, more of them would graduate high school knowing how to read and do simple math, fewer of them would think acting like a thug is cool, and more of them would be able to find/keep a damn job.

Hell, it doesn't even have to be white culture. Why not go for the gold and adapt some Asian culture since they are the highest achievers in this country?

It's a very xenophobic concept but it's also impossible. People share cultural values, foods, ideas, etc just by encountering one another. As long as diverse people are on this planet, you will always have cultural assimilation. These SJW's are living in a world that never has and never will exist.

Stuff like this makes me want to make sure I dress up for Halloween as either Pocahontas, a geisha, or a mexican salsa dancer just to see how many get pissed off at my costume.

Millennials didn't raise themselves to believe everyone gets a trophy and to have no principals or convictions. Millennials aren't currently running shite and pressing this "-ist" movement where anything goes.

No they were just the idiots who subscribed to it and went in droves to the ballot box in support of it.

I really despise what the world has come to.


Catering to bogus claims..

There is nothing racist about a costume of a character like this.

It was wrong to sell a costume that allowed children to pretend to be another race, she said.

No, Actually it's not. I don't care if another race wants to dress up as a character of my race.. nor should they. This crap is so ridiculous. Dave Chappelle and others have done white face, and it's completely fine.

You could paint it white and call it the Albino Panther

Preach, brother! Preach!!!

I wish someone could explain to me how this is supposed to work?

We want multicultural/diversity. But we don't want anyone to like or adopt or identify with any of the stuff from other cultures. We just want them to see it. But ignore it even if they like it. But talk about it, in a real conversation.But not a conversation we have to listen to as well as talk. That isn't real. It is only real if we do all the talking.

And we want leaders we can identify with, but not ones that try to be like us or act like us because that's wrong. If you aren't us, don't act like us. But you can't lead us if you aren't identifiable to us. But don't be like us, or try to adopt any of our good stuff. But don't be like the not-us people either, cuz they are bad.

Unless of course you want to appropriate gender roles. Then it's cool. And we need to encourage people to do that. But not while wearing an outfit that a person of another skin tone might wear. Or eat any food not originated by your specific people.
