Latina Students At Absurdly Expensive College: White Girls Must Stop Wearing HOOP EARRINGS Now
Daily Caller ^ | 03/08/2017 | Eric Owens

Posted on 03/09/2017 11:46:49 AM PST by detective

A group of Latina students at a ritzy private college in Southern California recently covered the exterior wall of a residence hall with a large graffiti-style message declaring: “White Girl, Take OFF your hoops!!!”

The scene of the spray-paint fracas is Pitzer College, reports the Claremont Independent, a student newspaper. Pitzer, a member of the five-school Claremont Consortium, charges $66,192 for a single year of tuition, fees and room and board.

The word “hoops” in the ultimatum from the Latina students refers to hoop earrings.

Since Eve put on a leaf, and she is of a different culture,

Maybe white girls should take off all their clothes.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that’s racist.

The bigger the hoops, the bigger the ho. Cate Blanchett keeps hers right by her moral compass.

“[T]he art was created by myself and a few other WOC [women of color] after being tired and annoyed with the reoccuring [sic] theme of white women appropriating styles … that belong to the black and brown folks who created the culture. The culture actually comes from a historical background of oppression and exclusion.

The black and brown bodies who typically wear hooped earrings, (and other accessories like winged eyeliner, gold name plate necklaces, etc) are typically viewed as ghetto, and are not taken seriously by others in their daily lives. Because of this, I see our winged eyeliner, lined lips, and big hoop earrings serving as symbols [and] as an everyday act of resistance, especially here at the Claremont Colleges.

Meanwhile we wonder, why should white girls be able to take part in this culture (wearing hoop earrings just being one case of it) and be seen as cute/aesthetic/ethnic. White people have actually exploited the culture and made it into fashion.”

Hoops? They’ve been around forever. My mother has a pair from the 40s. Dumb latin ####s

As far as appropriating culture:

As an Italian I want no one using the phrase “forget about it”

No one wearing a white Tank Top outside but us.

No one wearing a Cross that weighs almost a pound

No dice on the car mirror

No making believe you’re “the Godfather” :)

No having an almost exclusively black wardrobe!

If white girls put their hair in braids that is native American cultural appropriation. Very very evil and racist!
