[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you wouldn’t put up African art, then don’t put up Asian art. I would do both and don’t think either one is “appropriation.” But don’t do something to Asians that you think would be wrong with regard to Black people. Again, I don’t think it’s wrong to appreciate art and furniture from other cultures. But if you think it’s weird to decorate with African textiles, then you should equally think it’s weird to decorate with Asian wallpaper. [/quote] Not really the same. Chinoiserie is a French blend of Asian/Chinese art. But mostly, Black people would not be okay with non Black people having African art up in their homes. And if a public figure did this they would likely be cancelled. [/quote]
