theahsfan 13,595 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Does anyone else think that calling an artist out for cultural appropriation is absolutely ridiculous? Like most of the time now Katy haters, for example, use it as an excuse to hate on her just because she braided her hair like a black woman would? So what? So what that she was wearing Japanese style clothing? I personally don't think it's that big of a deal, however it's just an excuse for the petty to be petty. If anything it shows that the artist appreciates that culture imo, it's nothing huge like racism or anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 86,689 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Why people keep opening threads about cultural appropriation every week? It always turns into a mess and a WP storm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 49,371 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 The problem is: You're lamenting about a super rich celebrity getting social media hate for using somebody else's culture while the ORIGINATORS of that culture GET PUNISHED for doing it. http://www.newsweek.com/wearing-braids-sends-black-girls-detention-malden-charter-school-608303 That's the problem. The "backlash" some white celeb receives for doing cultural appropriation is not nearly as bad as tons of children being punished or having their future possibly ruined for being themselves and minding their own business.

I see what you're getting at but it's not really the celebrities' fault for that stuff. In fact they could use that to help the people being punished.

No. They're just putting on cultural costumes and taking them off without dear of personally ever being punished or living with the ramifications in society for dressing in such a way. It's a costume. It's a mockery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like saying if one person can't do this, nobody else can because it's unfair to that one person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
