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...

Cultural Appropriation

When white people cash in on things invented by cultures that they normally make fun of. For example, hiring British white actors to play ancient Romans and The Mummy in the Mummy movie. They call the actual members of that race the "ghetto" Egyptians. Like not ALL Egyptians are ghetto (For example the British actors that play them). After they do that they start yelling at strangers on their TV news saying stuff like "Let me guess are they offended???" Even though they know they did it because they are white supremacists and would refuse to watch a movie with the actual race in it.

"The only reason Despacito made it on the white people radio stations is specifically and only because of Cultural Appropriation by a white guy."

America’s Got Talent’s rapper Patches.

What’s a better example for cultural appropriation than Patches from America’s Got Talent rapping about the suburbs?

Gender Appropriation

When a man/woman adopts performing typical roles of the opposing gender. I.e. a man who starts washing the dishes or a woman who mows the lawn.

Nick was guilty of gender appropriation when he chose to do the laundry.

Cisgender Appropriating

A ridiculous phrase made by the cisgender community to feel oppressed. There is not a specific "cisgender culture to appropriate". And, for example, a transgender woman saying she has post or premenstrual symptoms is not invalid or to be questioned. Firstly, how do you know that she has or has not had bottom surgery, and the effects of estrogen on a certain sample size? In fact, I assume you haven't looked into this whatsoever.

"You're cisgender appropriating our culture and experiences."
"Girl, what, I'm just saying cramps hurt like satan's ballsack."

Cultural Appropriation

Dumbass people that think it’s ok to take styles or pieces from culture and call it a trend. Even though it’s usually used as another way to call white people racist, it’s actually a real problem. Some dumb bitch is going to use something when she ain’t been through the cultures struggle.

Person 1: OMG look at my cornrows, what a new fashion trend.
Person 2: Since when is a cultural style allowed to be a trend. Bitch that’s cultural appropriation.

Cultural Appropriation

When non oppressed groups of people (primarily white folk) adopt key cultural “taboo” trademarks from POC and intentionally/unintentionally make them hip, trendy, and acceptable.

So when Taylor (who is black) put her hair in cornrows she was ghetto but now that Tina’s (who is white) hair is in cornrows, cornrows are now trendy?

Yes.

Why?
