Disassociation Appropriation

A system where attaining disability checks without actually having a disability is seen as an inheritance.

Leave it to disassociation appropriation to take the wheel of shoe he thought was a boot.

Cultural Appropriation

A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.

By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.

Cultural Appropriation

Ugly Caucasians with no culture of their own attempting to recreate other cultur, despite not even knowing what race or culture they are attempting to be.

Cultural Appropriation is ugly Indians, complete with spears and hokey fake tattoos, pretending to be Native Americans despite not knowing anything about the race or culture they are attempting to depict.

Conflicting appropriation

when someone appropriates their own culture for attention and monetary gain. In contrasts to sell outs they are selling in. They are selling goods, particularly through the media, within their culture for a profit. They have little interests in their personal lives. They will normally end up marrying outside their race and living outside their community. However, they believe they are making a positive in their community. Instead they are sending conflicting messages.

Donald and Jordan are not aware of their conflicting appropriation. They want to bring awareness to racial issues through entertainment. Yet they show little interest in their personal life.

Sub-cultural appropriation

The adaptation of a sub-culture by non fans/fashionistas.

Example of sub-cultural appropriation:

"Omg Becky, where did you get that trasher shirt I LOVE it."

"I got it at target! It was in the sub-cultural appropriation aisle, next to The Grateful Dead, Nirvana, and Harley Davidson March!"

pop cultural appropriation

You: “hey coworker, I need you to resend that report.” Coworker: “ahh, you’re killing me smalls!” You: “oh I love The Sandlot!” Coworker: “What is The Sandlot?” You: That’s the move you just quoted, that’s some next level pop cultural appropriation!
