2. Make everything about your feelings.
No, no it's not. It's an indictment of an oppressive white power structure. I will never understand white people that feel the need to derail every conversation about race to whine, whine, whine and tone police because they took something personally that they shouldn't have - and I'm white. I beg you, STFU.
No read it again ignorant white people LIKE YOU love to derail.
Jesus Christ this for once in your life is not about you, everytime there is a post on racism or cultural appropriation ignorant white people like you derail and talk about how hard it is to be white and how white privilege is not a thing, we have to listen to your delusional white whine nearly every day because you…
Yup. You guys seem to have a great talent for cold-hearted oppression, tyranny, and genocide. Still good at it even in the present.
Oh, don't give me that BS. I have to deal with all of that too, plus racialized sexism, and racism/discrimination/bias (because I'm Latina). You're on the top of the female hierarchy not me. I get 50 cents to the dollar, btw.
You can obviously speak for the people that you know but I'm not sure how you can vouch for the people in the comments. But hey, if you don't care, you don't care.
Lol. You can be a totally non racist non sexist non classist white person who loves everyone and shit puppies in your free time, but that doesn't take away that there are so many, many privileges that we get just by being white. It's not your fault, you didn't ask for it, but it doesn't hurt to be aware of it.
Believe me, if it was at all possible to write off dominant and oppressive white culture and history I really hope someone would have done so by now.
Um, Dodai isn't white.
WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE WHITE PEOPLE.
Cultural appropriation isn't an "idea" but an act. What I'm gathering from your comments is that you don't believe cultural appropriation exists. It does. You do realize there are customs, traditions, clothing, art etc. that are inherent to specific cultural/racial groups. So, yes, people of racial/cultural groups can…
What is this from I need it in my life forever.
Cultural trends are called cultural trends because they are derived from a particular culture. They don't manifest out of thin air in the same form in multiple cultures simultaneously.
There are aspects of culture that obviously are created and celebrated by a particular culture. However, stereotyping a group member does obviously happen and some members are known to school others not to expect certain stereotypes (myself included). Can I twerk? Yes. Does it define me? No. Others will define me,…
Yes, please tell me more about that false equivalence.
This argument is usually brought up when one group is accuse of culturally appropriating or outright stealing another group's simply because the former believes they have the right to do so.
That is either some disingenuous bullshit, or you are actually dumb as hell.
Why are white people so dumb sometimes...
