Cultural appropriation is the admiration or use of indigenous cultural practices of minorities by white people. Or is it?
Indigenous activists state people need to more clearly define the line between appreciating and appropriating another culture’s heritage.
Here is an example. Appreciating another culture would be a white person buying a sweater made by a Navajo artist. Appropriating the Navajo culture would be wearing that prior mentioned sweater. You see the difference? It’s important to start being able to make that distinction as indigenous activists are on the warpath. Because these activists are not just asking the UN to disavow cultural appropriation, they want to implement international laws and measures that will take all of this PC hysteria to a completely new level.
Will it soon be illegal for kids to learn to play the 12 bar blues? Will the parents be criminally prosecuted as is now the case in the U.S. if kids get caught sexting? What if a person unknowingly knits a sweater using colors associated with a certain Native American tribe? How do these indigenous activists propose courts differentiate accidental associations with deliberate appropriation? All on the next page:

At the beginning and still happening……
people from every corner of the world love to share recipes. It’s one of the best ways of bonding with each other and forming friendship. Government can’t stop it. And no kind person wants to.
B******t. Do the Italians need to stop eating pasta, it’s a Chinese cultural appropriation. Who gets credit for flat bread, tortilla, pita, fry bread? It’s a ground grain made into a dough and fried out flat. What about the bow and arrow? That’s also been around. B******t. So are people of mixed race allowed to use items from more than one culture?
SCREW YOU all in the U.N.!!!
The UN can just have a big heaping bowl of this………………………..
