What's the rationale behind cultural appropriation?

I speak a language from France, one from England, one from China, and one from Poland.

I profess a religion from Iran and also believe in past religions from different lands too.

I used to cook vegan East Indian and now vegan cook Sichuan.

Does this make me an evil fascist swine pig cultural appropriator?

Am I still allowed to ride a bicycle or ski or snowshoe or kayak? What about the use of a computer?

How oh how shall I avoid the evils of cultural appropriation?

Should I go back to my 17th-century French roots to avoid this evil?

Yet even then they'd appropriated Latin words from the Romans already. Some Italians could take offence.

Maybe I could go back to France and live like an ancient Gaul?

Any ideas? I really wouldn't want to offend anyone by appropriating something of his.

I'm going to start enlightening anyone wearing a kilt who can't prove they are Scot or Irish.

As far as the rationale............can't say as I see one. Now had you asked for a reason........I might say that it is simply someone with waaaaaaay too much time on their hands and little in their minds.

I didn't appropriate my language from anyone. I inherited it from my ancestors.

As long as you are pro fossil fuels. Otherwise there is no skis, no kayak and no tires for the bike. Or roads to ride it on.

This one night I got freaky. It was almost a year ago and I read the book "Zen of Archery" while listening to lynryd skynyrd. Don't tell a monk they might serve a white boy. Oh knows

I think you take yourself way too serious,"evil facist swine pig cultural appropriator",things aren't going to good for you when using language to describe what ever you are feeling,
you must think of yourself as you really are,reading about your capabilities and abilities,I see an individual who present's as having a deep thinking capacity,great self discipline,intelligent,privledged,and a few other great things,ths including a fasinating heritage,don't sweat all that negative thinking,be proud and in your case,just be boastful,I hope your days go better for you.
i would love to discuss cooking chit chat,if you are up to it.

With bablefish you can speak any language. An app that let you spell your text message (in you native language) would eliminate the universal ban on texting while in control of moving

And I asked myself. Why TF do I need to know about cultural appropriation? The answer is, I don't.
But still, I opened the thread and god help me, I looked.

Yeah, I don't do cultural appropriation. By the same token, I don't give a sh*t about it either. Saw an interesting commercial for the Atlanta Braves the other night though. 4 Black dudes doing Native drumming and doing that tomahawk chop and chant thing. Now, is that offensive or is it cool they do that because Black people didn't conquer the Natives?
Like, if you as a "race" had absolutely no part in the subjugation of another "race", is it cool if you "appropriate" part of their culture? Like Natives performing hip hop for example?

Want to try an experiment in communications "noise"? Translate a reasonably complex English expression into Korean, then translate it back into English.

Last week I was partaking in the ancient game of "Go". I hope no Chinese reaapropiate my board because it took awhile to get my white buddy into the game.

When I play "Go" online I like to listen to lucinda williams, don't tell any Americans. Pretty please?

I think I'll disrupt the next lacrosse game I see, in the name of an Indian nation I'm not a member of.

This is a funny little country we live in. "You MUST embrace multiculturalism". Yeah, but if you embrace it a little too much, you're accused of cultural appropriation.

Ultimately, if you listen to the whiners, you are to a considerable extent responsible for your own unhappiness.

Now, if you'll pardon me, I have to go demand that the symphony fire anybody who's not of German, Austrian, French, Italian, or Russian ancestry.

But what do we do about Yo-yo Ma? He's American, his ancestry is Chinese, and he was born in Paris. Does that mean he gets to play Chinese, European, and American music and instruments, or that he can't play any of them?

While my white sheets are drying, I'd like to propose a solution.

The white folks can appropriate whatever they want, but it will be necessary to handle evidence of the, ahem, "appropriation" properly, and witnesses have to "go away". No point having a bunch of unappreciative non-whites ruining my day. And who wants to listen to their whining?

The mob were always recycling. Burying stuff in the ground or throwing things in the ocean.

Paraphrasing that famous white Georgia boy, Bubba Ferguson, speaking about jumbo bags of potato chips and cola, "I have been to the Walmart. I may not get there with you, but there's plenty to go around. Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, They're free at last!"

No, if I listen to the whiners, all I hear are a bunch of mental midgets who have zero clue about human history.
