Honestly I still haven't seen a definition of cultural appropriation that can't be just as easily categorized as gross insensitivity towards another culture or just good ol' fashioned racism. It reminds me Diogenes waving a plucked chicken in Plato's face and saying "Behold a man!" Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Mar 28, 2015 |

icantfindaname posted:Literally "NO YOUR RACIST" Are you saying Asian-Americans have no cultural agency of their own and need right-thinking people to protect them from wrong-thinking people? Because that's what it seems like you're saying. And anyway, grotesque racial caricatures are never A-OK because they're grotesque racial caricatures. That's enough to make them wrong (I'm ignoring edge cases like displaying Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda at the Holocaust Museum in case anyone tries to use them as a gotcha).

Obdicut posted:Okay. So you don't think that a belief that black people are inferior to white people was a cultural belief? A racist one.

They're individual beliefs, Obdicut. They might be widespread in a society, but they're still held by individuals for individual reasons.

Miltank posted:Maybe if native Americans weren't living in hopeless ghettos their culture wouldn't be threatened by hipsters? I would heartily endorse Native Americans sending war parties into Brooklyn and Portland to scalp hipsters. Miltank posted:The language of cultural appropriation functions to obscure the forms of oppression which perpetuate it. Seriously. Tell someone they shouldn't wear a knockoff Lakota ceremonial headdress to a Halloween drink-and-gently caress party because it's extremely disrespectful and also pretty racist and they'll probably understand. Say you shouldn't wear the headdress because of "cultural appropriation" will just make them tilt their head at you and look confused.

Arglebargle III posted:It's just so centered in the American experience, you know? The idea of Chinese or Puerto-Rican or Irish identity being threatened by whatever college girls are wearing to parties could only ever make sense in the context of immigrant communities. Clearly then the solution is to ban immigration.

VitalSigns posted:No this is what happens when you find the most insane parody view possible to validate your persecution complex and crow "I knew it, the feminists/injuns/negras/mexicans/scary folk want to kill white Christian men! I like how you assume nobody on your side could be stupid enough to say something like that so it's obviously a False Flag. Is there a term for this phenomenon?

It probably was a joke, yeah, but I was serious when I asked if there's a name for assuming anyone saying really dumb things whose on "your" side (whether it's left, right, up, or down) has to be a parody or a troll or a false flag.

Helsing posted:It's not the job of the left, or anyone else, to freeze cultural relations at a specific moment in history. In cases where "cultural appropriation" is explicitly racist it should be called out and opposed but you can't really stop people from borrowing images, ideas, clothing, food or music from other groups. Trying to do so will just make you sound like an out of touch scold. Thank you for this clear statement of exactly why "cultural appropriation" is a lousy, obfuscatory, and generally useless term.
