Cultural Appropriation

White girl kicked out of school for having dyed braids.

Her good friend, who happens to be black, has the same hairstyle except with red dye, not white, and somehow hasn't been kicked out of school.

If you say the words "cultural appropriation" and it's not followed by "is complete bullshit", then you're part of the problem. You're a racist whether you want to admit it or not.

Here's a thing someone could do right now if they want to make national headlines: Start going to NBA games with a sign that says, "Please stop stealing my people's culture and stop playing basketball." For extra fun put in smaller letters, "By the way, being able to read this sign means you have stolen our language too."

It's not even cultural appropriation. Celts and Scandinavians have had braided hair and dreadlocks for, oh, probably as long as white humans have existed.

That's what's so frustrating about it. This is the stupidest term since "reverse racism".
