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:
The UN does not make laws in the USA. LOL Delusional at best.
The U.N. serves no useful purpose and should be disbanded and it’s representatives sent home. We can use the money for more worthy causes.
UN not good for this country?
Absurd !
UN cannot make laws applicable in any free country. P**s on these zealots and then boot their asses out after we defund them.
Close them down and send them all back to there own country’s and implode the building
The UN is a pack of America hating, worthless, cowardly, envious hateful blow hards. Get out of our country. Give the building to the homeless.
Defund the Unholy Nation (U.N.) corruption within renders them useless bigot
