Obdicut posted:It's meaningless to say it 'isn't real'. It's something describable: when people not from a culture who have no real understanding of it grab some trappings of it and use it for their own ends, usually just to gently caress around with. Whether this is really a bad thing is arguable, but that it actually occurs really isn't, which is pretty obvious. But sure, at the crudest levels, it's 'just' racism. But then you get the parts where the people are earnest, they really like the culture they're appropriating from, but they still divorce whatever cultural object it is from the context. Again, whether or not this is a bad thing is completely arguable but it definitely happens. "concern trolling"

I suppose "transethnics" on Tumblr also fit into this.

If a white guy owns a taco truck, is that appropriation?

Hey Zeitgueist you big idiot, here's a hint: when I post about white guys owning taco trucks, I'm not "concern trolling", I'm actually trolling, because it makes people like you flip the gently caress out and it's funny. Your complete lack of any sense of humor or perspective is why people like making you mad, because it makes you post more crazy things for people to laugh at.

Clearly, the only possible solution to cultural appropriation is strict racial and cultural segregation. Everyone should band together with only people like them and instinctively distrust any outsiders.

Pissing on native cultures to make a buck is far from only an American thing, the Europeans have been doing it for literally millenia
