another one of these microaggressive OP threads girl can we stop it already

Are you surprised? The user who posted isn't afraid or ashamed of being problematic and actually seems to make it a habit.

No I don’t think this makes her racist. But wearing Bantu knots as a white woman is a little ignorant and insensitive.

But, if Jamaicans are not offended, I, as a black American, am not going to sit here and tell them what and what not to be offended by. I see a lot of people from Jamaica defending Adele on Twitter. I just think Adele should have thought it out better and hopefully was prepared for the inevitable backlash she would get from that picture being released.

do I think she could have avoided this conversation in general by choosing NOT to wear Bantu knots, yes.

Even for things that have already been discussed saying “new” for something that happened last Sunday

I wondered if this would happen when I saw that pic and her hair.

Also, the OP is pretty disgusting with their language and derision toward people who have legitimate arguments and criticisms in this debate against cultural appropriation.

Talk about microaggressions! That user is quite literally one of the worst and, yes, problematic if not racist users on this site.

I disagree with some points. If you've ever been to Jamaica or the Caribbean in general, people actually put these hairstyles in tourists hair as a business. They're proud to share their culture. I think it's clear that she's celebrating the culture. It's not like she's wearing them with a Balmain dress on posing for paparazzi. Americans need to focus on the issues going in their own society and stop trying to fight battles that don't exist.

Culture is meant to be shared. Everyone against sharing culture and mixing it with different cultures is sharing the same thoughts of the KKK to divide people and not let them mix up. :triggered: You are ignorant and blind if you can't see that hypocrisy.

 

Adele clearly loves Jamaica and its culture. She spent how long to get her hair done that way? Right probably hours.

I never understood the "cultural appropriation" thing, and I never will. 

It’s not really a “thing” like a trend

cultural appropriation is when something is looked down on when being expressed by minorities (usually a cultural practice or custom) yet edgy and fashion forward on white people.

it’s really not that difficult of a concept to grasp. People are just choosing to be arrogant
