That's stupid because there are a lot of things that people on this earth share in common, so how are they going to define a "cultural appropriation"? A lot of human beings seem to think they are all separate from each other with frontiers, countries etc but there are a lot of things that we share in certain cultures. How are you going to define it? And how are they going to know when it's in a respectful manner, (or is it going to be illegal too?) or disrespectful? 

Did you read the article?

I think it's harder for Westerners to recognise cultural appropriation because our culture isn't deminishing. Whereas the cultures of indigenous people are deminishing not just because it's being consumed by Western Society and put on a t-shirt but largely through lack of education on who/what they are. 

It's about protecting a fading culture and preserving it. Changing commercial laws won't do that though, only hinder it further. Education and awareness is key imo. 

It would also help if their was an agreed definition of what cultural appropriation even is :oprah:

The hardest thing in this world is to live in it

Cultural appropriation isn't real and this overly-PC world that social justice warriors are pushing for is what is making people so anti-left. They're digging a hole for themselves. Idiots

This thread made me realize how many people don't read before commenting. 

This isn't your Tumblr CA... read what the article talks about. 

These talks have been happening since 2001.
