cultural appropriation

when white people thinks it's okay to steal all the ~~~pretty~~~ or appealing things from cultures and use them for attention (i.e basically every white female celebrity with a bindi or miley cyrus and 'twerking') . It's pretty annoying and i ask you to please stop

example of cultural appropriation:

miley cyrus: i may be a hill-billy but i can twerk!!!

white audience: lmao raise da roof!!!!!! holla!!

black audience: "hysterical laughter"

cultural appropriation

Basically Social Repose's entire channel.

Social Repose thinks him dressing in a native american headdress isn't cultural appropriation because he's a dumb emo white boy who knows everything...

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!"

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.

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.

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!

Cultural appropriation

An excuse to bully somebody for liking another culture.

Cultural appropriation is not a real term or a problem. Stop bullying others.
