Once again we have a phenomena were minorities complain about an experience, but confused white people have never encountered it, so it must not exist right?
And then other confused white people fail to differentiate between decades of systematic under representation of minorities in their unique cultural arts and white people rapping.

Pictured: definitely not an ignorant, superficial adoption of someone else's culture.

White guys playing American Indians in film for 50 years is cultural appropriation. Drunk idiots in plastic headdresses and face paint is just racist.

Well I suppose that there are certain mores that can be generalized across all cultures, and as such form the barest skeleton of a general human culture. But this is hardly the basis of a strong, binding culture.
It only seems that way because you have nothing to compare it to. Non-human culture is rather poorly understood.

people as a whole are vain, selfish, stupid, and petty. SJW have good intentions, and are just as lovely as everyone else because humanity sucks.

See, for a particularly obnoxious example, Mumford and Sons.
Or like 95% of pop country music.

Fuckers from the burbs singin' about farms.

This is bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Being part of a culture does not, and never will, obligate you to always act on behalf of the self-interest of the 'culture' as an abstract entity eg- If you children are not of your culture, you have not 'failed' in your duty. People are not a vehicle for the self-propagation of cultures, a culture's existence must serve human ends.
That quote is basically the Fourteen Words for Indians.
