I thought I'd ask about everyone's thoughts on this insane issue. Get a variety of perspectives and such.
As well as links to balanced, decent articles on the issue that don't just mindlessly say "whitey bad because they enjoy stuff from other cultures". It seems difficult to find articles or videos and whatnot that look at the subject from a neutral, balanced viewpoint. At best, I find a flood of stupid articles attacking white people and / or pushing the Neo-Liberal narrative about it.
Post on the old forum:
If cultural appropriation existed. White girls doing Yoga would be the worst offenders.
The simple fact is that cultural appropriation is the resentment of mixed race people and 2nd or 3rd generation immigrants in a western country. It does not reflect on the actual experience of a person, but on the perception of what experience is correct [sic] for a person.
It's segregation. It's a proxy to overtly be racist, because of an inability to culturally assimilate or a disassociation from one's family. And it becomes more extreme as diversity increases, because the lack of a singular culture to assimilate into and larger enclaves of foreign cultures creates more intercultural conflict.
