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:
GET RID OF THIS EVIL INSTITUTION!!!
UN needs to stfu. No one cares what They want or say
What a joke.
Thanks, this means their pushing islam violates their own ideals
That’s BS
How about we make the UN a criminal organization and get rid of it, dissolve it, tear the building down, send these radical ellites to gitmo for crimes against human rights!!!
Exactly who does the UN thinks they are? The only “Authority” they have is what is granted to them by the member nations. If the United States doesn’t grant them any authority then they have no authority over the United States of America.
The UN has to go
BS,,,
We need to get out of the UN they are controlling disrupting hypocrites . We need to govern our own country . We do not need their interference
