rudatron posted:the really funny thing with complaining about appropriation, is that you're essentially guaranteeing that the majority culture will never, ever be influenced by the minority culture, in any positive way, because bastardization is like the first step to introducing something foreign Have you considered that cultural imperialism is just as inconsistent and ill-defined a concept as cultural appropriation This kind of cargo cult anthropology is universally incomprehensible imo Anyone getting a bee up their bonnet about uppity college kids complaining about cafeteria food needs to take a chill pill and try and put themselves in their place for a moment.

PleasingFungus posted:knowledge is generally nice, but i don't see why knowledge of food/musical history is particularly important. The interest, is what is being referenced. If you want Indian curry for lunch, try actually going to the Indian place for it and if you are approached by an Indian person later, try not to zone out when they start talking about their culture because what you ate is an important parcel of that culture. Put simply: show interest in the people who produce the things you like, since after all, they are people too.

But it's still British food, and it's delicious. The exception for sure as far as British food goes.

"stop talking about the subject altogether" is the only way to address this bullshit. There is no such loving thing as cultural appropriation. There is only the marketplace of ideas. Yes people borrow and steal within that market, but the only thing that would be "appropriation"would be trying to pass off borrowed and stolen ideas as authentic and from the original source. As long as you acknowledge the origin you're doing nothing wrong.

"There's no such thing as cultural appropriation, there's only *describes textbook definition of cultural appropriation*" also lol at "marketplace of ideas". the invisible hand of the free market of ideas will solve this oh poo poo someones telling me not to demean their heritage, don't they know the only way to address this is to shut up?

If you want to laugh at dumb college kids whining about white people wearing kimonos at festivals run by Japanese people or ordering curry at Indian restaurants "extra spicy, really I can take it", then I don't think you have to worry about anything because that's stupid people being stupid and is hilarious. Dismissing the concept of Cultural Appropriation as a whole, especially pointing to examples like this as an excuse, is bad because there are concrete examples of minority cultures being harmed by the majority cultures attempt at "cultural exchange".

Its not the appropriation that actually harms the minority culture though, it's just plain old racism that's denying them opportunity or whatever It's the dumb college kids that are using the term correctly, not you, so yeah gently caress that noise

Yeah if one group was actually appropriating another's culture under the proper definition, then they were probably also doing much, much, worse things to that group at the same time. Like, if you're being loving enslaved or colonized, not getting credit for your cultural contributions is the least of your worries.

Is Cultural Appropriation to you any and all mixing of other cultures? If so, isn't "either appropriation is bad or it's not" a false dilemma?

I find this thing confusing, and it makes me wonder whether I've misunderstood the broad objectives of what're generally called "progressives" now or if I'm just not American enough to get it. The whole idea of "cultural appropriation" seems to be supporting the notion that people come in distinct tribes and that those tribes a) can own ideas and b) are really super important. Isn't getting rid of that sort of thing what we're meant to be aiming for?
