Is it cultural appropriation for my (white) DD to wear beads in her hair?

[Anonymous]

I thought cultural appropriation was profiting off of another culture. Like white people starting a taco stand, or becoming rappers.

No it’s like when a white girl is Pocahontas for Halloween. It’s definitely not like tacos or rapping, which are solidly within the domain of things that Europeans invented in the first place

Rap was invented in New York. And tacos are Mexican. Y’all will try to Colonize anything. Rap??!

And dressing up as Pocontas as a child is fine. Fighting over stuff like (respectful) Halloween costumes and hairstyles dilutes the cultural vulturing that actually harms people.

Human beings can express themselves however they want. FFS.

The people who “are supposed to be offended” rarely are. It’s almost always a wokidiot vomiting random rules.

Whose culture does Elsa belong to?

This is a dumb statement trying to go tit for tat. Elsa is a fictional character. Pocahontas was an actual person.

DP. Abraham Lincoln was an actual person. Will you act like a nut job if you see a foreigner dressed like him?

I have no idea where tacos were invented BUT… you are aware that many Mexicans are white, aren’t you?

Should black people not be allowed to play golf or ice hockey then? Are they colonizing those Northern European sports?

Are you serious?

Do you understand what colonizing means in this context means? Hint: it doesn’t mean participating.
