It’s really not that tough a gig. Christ, Rubio didn’t even show up for like 5 years and somehow he’s probably going to get re-elected.

Okay, we get it. You’re another white person who doesn’t understand or care about cultural appropriation (probably because you don’t have a culture). Instead of accepting that POC have different and frankly, more of a right to an opinion on this issue than you, you have to troll and tell everyone what they feel is…
Except she isn’t talking to us, Amy. You and I are not the ladies that are being called to get in formation.
It gets really old when white women don’t understand or attempt to understand the meaning of certain songs written by people of color, or even any piece of clothing or accessories from other cultures like headdresses and bindis, yet they still claim they’re doing “respectful tributes” when they use them just for fun…
I contributed to Rep. Duckworth’s re-election campaign last go around (because she’s bad ass and I wanted to make sure Joe Fucking Walsh never saw office again) and I’m going to be proud to vote for her to represent Illinois in the US Senate.
Japanese women are.thought of fetish like objects and have been treated as less than. So yeah. That was gross.
I was all excited until I saw it was Stephen Poliakoff who doesn’t like a character arc that makes what we here on earth call sense.
If it’s something that originated in an imperial power (generally anything from white culture, including ballet), it’s likely not appropriation. Appropriating Japanese culture is contextual — they were stuffed into interment camps in America and have been on the receiving end of a lot of racism, so it’s in poor taste…
It’s annoying, but it’s a fucking insult to people who experience actual cultural appropriation to compare their ethnic, racial, LGBTQIA+ cultures, etc, things which revolve around who they inherently are, and were not chosen, to a chosen hobby or career... no matter how passionate you are about it, or how brutal of a…
Jeeeeesus Ballet-Dancing Christ! It is NOT cultural appropriation, and to call it such, just like when people call The Big Bang Theory “nerd minstrel” and carp about how that’s not what nerds/geeks are actually like (despite there being a broad and not entirely definable spectrum), is an insult to actual cultural…
If this is appropriation, then the word has lost all meaning and we should just burn the internet to the ground.

And Shade Court covered this excellently, http://jezebel.com/shade-court-the-shade-thrown-by-naomi-campbell-will-fr-1786997400
Balletomanes and actual ballerinas were quite steamed about what they viewed as “appropriation;”
I find her quite “meh” as a model, on the whole.
It isn’t appropriation, it is just an embarrassment to ballet.
Seriously. Like, the Heathers were the stereotypical Perfect Girls (tm) that everyone wanted to be and also hate ... so you could be happy that they were dead. I am kind of bummed that I’m supposed to be rooting for a white hetero couple to kill a black lesbian, a gender-queer guy, and a fat girl ...
SERIOUSLY. By making the movie’s outsiders the Mean Girls, they’re no longer outsiders, and it’s impossible to root for them because they’re the Mean Girls, so... we’re left with conventionally attractive, heteronormative, and socially adept people to root for? WAITAMINNIT.
Melanie Field, Brendan Scannell and Jasmine Mathews, according to the THR article. Kind of a big thing to leave out of this, but then again proofreading has never been a priority of Gawker Media.
