So there was apparently a white girl in the US that wore a Chinese dress to prom and it went viral as an evil cultural appropriation thing? Am I just too old and racist to understand why that's a horrible thing?

Man; cultural appropriation is such a hard thing to pin down. There was some kerfuffle over a museum having a kimono display where you could try on some of the garments, and people freaked out about cultural appropriation, despite tons of quotes from Japanese people about how their fashion was meant to be shared and appreciated worldwide.

Step two is realizing that people draw the line at different places. Step three is realizing white people dont get to say if it is or isn’t.

Yeah I only ever hear that phrase online and it feels like it comes up anytime someone from culture A wears thing from culture B. How is it a bad thing?

The post right above yours sums it up really well; but yeah; there's definite good and bad usages of other culture's stuff. Like, I live in Kansas City. Every year I get to cringe at people wearing Native American headdresses to football games.

Step three is realizing white people dont get to say if it is or isn’t. I showed my wife those pictures of the young girl who was having a "Japanese tea party" at home while wearing a kids' kimono -- the pictures that the Internet went up in arms about over "cultural appropriation" and how it was "insulting to the Japanese" and all that. She said "oh, that's cute. But the belt is tied the wrong way." I specifically asked her if she was offended by what the kid was doing and she looked at me like I had two heads. IIRC after I explained how the Internet was gasping for breath over the pictures, she said something like "I think you should stop reading the Internet." I guess the moral is that white people shouldn't immediately start screeching "  CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!!!!!" if they don't actually know anything about the culture in question.edit: Also Western clothing styles were literally appropriated here and are now the norm. Where are the Tumblrites protesting at the Japanese embassy about this horrible transgressions against Western culture?

Because Culture A is usually the one who went in and poo poo all over Culture B, historically treating said culture like garbage right up until "oh look at these funny/pretty things I can wear! Who cares about what any of this stuff means, it's mine now!"

Yeah, white people love to speak "on behalf of others" and usually go too far, which is why I included step 3. Pretty sure the idea of appropriation doesn’t extend to "conquered" (sorry, don’t have better vocabulary for this) taking from "conquering" cultures, so Japan taking from the west doesn’t seem to qualify under the usual understanding.

I just found this loving thing on imgur and it makes my skin crawl in a way that won't stop: https://imgur.com/gallery/WLRrALF Guy kept a journal of his relentless pining after the girl in the cubicle next to him. Here's the first page!  This dude's diary is gonna be worth a fortune someday after they find all the bodies.

So, as people have said, there is a lot of variation in what some people are upset by, and some not. Sometimes I think people are too offended by some things, but it's their right. But let's take an example, wearing a headdress. Now, I can;t speak for every indigenous North American, but it is a very important and symbolic item for people hereabout and it is really dick to just make or wear one yourself for whatever stupid poo poo. And then you got fuckers like Ted Nugent wearing it around while ranting about how he is more indigenous than we are, and that we barely qualify as people. And poo poo, look at the stuff the boy scouts and poo poo get up to. It's horrifyingly racist and lovely. But, if anyone wants my kokhoms sick rear end bannock recipe, they can have it. They just need to listen to my story about it first. Tiberius Thyben has a new favorite as of 02:58 on May 3, 2018 |

Cultural appropriation is supposed to be a neutral term. A phenomena that happens in society (or there's probably arguments out there that it's a phenomena in colonizing/capitalist society) that can either be good or bad depending on context. I think as long as you care about doing a thing justice and do it with respect then there isn't a lot to get mad about. Like if a boardroom of white execs decide to use iconography from another culture to sell softdrinks or something would be rightfully offensive (how offensive is up to the people affected). I'm a dumb idiot so I just side on caution hoping that people get to learn, understand and experience other cultures in a way that benefits everyone and promotes understanding. But I'm an idiot.

Dumb question, does rehosting rules apply for twitter? Should I be rehosting them on Imgur anyway?

The correct way to have a discussion about appropriation is to discuss it so both sides can come to an agreement on where the line should be drawn, rather than getting into slapfights. This scenario never happens.

Who What Now posted:Sweet, let's hear it. I'll just quote myself from the BYOB cooking thread. Tiberius Thyben posted:Fair enough! Bannock is a type of quick bread. The term bannock itself is a loan word from the the Scots, who made a similar type of bread. Most recipes are made with flour, water, lard, baking powder, and optionally eggs, powdered or fresh milk, currants, and anything else on hand. Some recipes are fried, some deep fried, others baked, and others still done over a fire. This recipe is also really good over a fire, either in a cast iron pan, or wrapped in a braid on a stick. Not over the smoke, it will turn it into a charred mess, and be patient. It will take 10-20 minutes, and if you rush it it'll burn before the middle cooks. Also got a pan fried bannock recipe somewhere, but I need to remember where I saved it.
