As well as the way people fetishize and commodify it. A big example is how foreign tourists treat geishas in Japan. Or how MAGA Stefani spent years profiting off of Harajuku culture.

I understand that, but for example, JBieber was never “profiting off” of the black community by wearing dreadlocks also, it is sadly a privilege to be white, that’s for sure, but just because you’re white doesn’t make you the oppressor? And it’s not always about POC actually Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say that, I’m not in the position to have an opinion like that tbh, but I’m really asking to understand, cause sometimes I feel that it’s about bashing someone more than actually being offended and trying to make the world a better place Edited February 8 by AVeryGagaHolyDick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s not always about POC actually I mean, Justin Bieber wasn't profiting but he was doing something that is met with derision when done by black people and faced half the derision for it. And no, just by being white doesn't make you the oppressor. But you do carry a form of positive social status exclusive to your race in western nations. And if you choose to profit from it intentionally then you are becoming part of the opressors. But intersectionality, which is where the concept of privilege comes from, is significantly more complex than that. And cultural appropriation isn't just about PoCs. The clue is in the name. Its about culture. The gays know how to party 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of literature available as well as several posts in this thread that would enlighten you if you wanted to understand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It absolutely isn’t people just don’t understand what it really is. An easy example is; Praising a pop diva for having dreads (see Gaga during ARTPOP) but actively having employers refusing to hire black people for having dreads. White people have to purposely take the time and effort to make (bad) dreadlocks for example, black people do it to protect their natural hair. It goes back to the slave trade hence the name DREADlocks or wearing a Kimono for Halloween to “be Chinese” as a joke without understanding the cultural significance of the garment. For Americans on this site; it would be like you wearing a burqa for a laugh on Halloween because you find it “funny” Edited February 8 by gagzus 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
