[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no such thing as cultural appropriation. It's a term invented by woke warriors to intensify identity politics because they get a thrill out of perpetually victimizing people as oppressed deserving of special attention and care (in other words they are not capable of standing on their own without the help of liberal white SJW). The concept of cultural appropriation is a political and cultural tool that is used to mask righteous dogma and bigotry and judgment so that some people can derive a false sense of superiority by doing the "right" thing and satisfaction in sneering at others who aren't doing the "right" thing.

Just do what you want to do. No one owns braids just as no one owns hair straighteners.

Have you discussed with any (other, if you are black) black people you know if they think there's no such thing?  Lots of black people are offended by appropriation of their culture.  It's not white people who brought this up originally!

We explain differences to young children about lots of things: hair, special needs, race, language, culture, etc.  I think it's fine to say "Larla has a different type of hair than yours, it's able to hold small braids together but you have very fine hair that will come apart. Let's pick a thicker braided style that works for fine hair." [/quote]
