Really snowflake? Guess you should cut your lily white hair in those corn roles. Sometimes, I think these socialist young punks should have the crap beat out of them by their “bros”.

I’ll make tacos and spaghetti

Hmmmm...

I wonder how spaghetti, topped with taco filling, shredded cheddar cheese, and fresh salsa would be?

(served with nachos, hot sauce and beer of course)

I guess I’ll have to give up my gig teaching ukulele. I’m just wondering whether I’ll be charged for appropriating the Portuguese fishing culture or the Hawaiian native culture.

Actually the Hawaiian natives could probably be arrested for appropriating the Portuguese sailor culture.

Does this mean we don’t have to listen to Japanese people playing country music anymore?

So I guess that means aboriginal Americans (i.e. Indians) won’t be allowed to use wheels (among many other things).

I’ll give up my hummus when you give up electricity. okay? No? Then shut your pie hole about cultural appropriation. People have copied each other since the second caveman made fire.

What if you’re of European ancestry but self-identify as Thai. Does that mean you can or you can’t operate a Thai restaurant?

“From now on, only the Chinese can eat pasta.”

Yes. It will get too confusing for the snowflakes. For example, the all-American blue jeans. Definitely created in America, but denim is French, indigo is from India and Peru, and cotton is from Mexico and the Indus Valley, and trousers themselves come from China/Mongolia.

Blue jeans will have to be outlawed. But then, only outlaws will wear blue jeans.

I thought we weren’t suppose to stereotype groups. Now we must stereotype them so we won’t be guilty of cultural appropriation.

Didn't we used to call "cultural appropriation" the "melting pot?"

to disallow cultural appropriation, one must acknowledge there is a culture there to begin with.

what does indigenous mean? does it mean someone who’s ancestors arrived in America 400 years ago? or the Indians that settled in one area less than 200 years ago (likely by wiping out the existing ‘indigenous’)? Is England indigenously Roman or Saxon or Celtic? Is central America indigenous for Indians or only those who can prove Mayan heritage?

what are cultures? is Anglo/Saxon a culture? Is Cajun? Southern cooking? - it’s all America, right? or can Americans only eat 200-yr old recipes local to their own families? what about Greece? or Iceland? or India? what about American territories? Do they have American or native cultures? And which native culture from which ancient conquering? the Spanish? the Portugese? the French? the Dutch? the Mongols? the Polynesian, Aztec or Mayan headhunters? what about Greece? or Iceland? or Africa? How many times have they been conquered?

Shall we make it illegal for anyone other than first through 4th generation Americans to wear jeans? Or own a dog? Should only Egyptians own cats? Is antebellum culture respected the same as in the former slave-centered cultures of New Orleans or Florida or Africa or the Cook Islands? Are chopsticks banned to anyone but Japanese when eating sushi? Only Italians can eat spaghetti? And speaking of slavery, it’s a cultural thing for many areas of the world - is that ok as long as a person is African or Asian?

Since when are women’s bangs ‘chollo’ ? (I always thought they were anime’). Aren’t bangs a Chinese invention? Is dark hair a cultural appropriation? What about long hair - or red hair, or straight hair or blonde hair? Or wigs? or shoes with heels? Or makeup? or beards? or cowboy boots? (or bras).

The entire world has benefited from adapting Anglo culture, systems and inventions but the game now is to restrict cultures to a box? These people are ridiculous, except they are all racists who are determined to drive Anglos batcrazy from their bullying and guilting and persecuting over absolutely nothing except gimmemoney.

I see an awful lot of people sporting kaffiyas, and have for years. I guess that will have to stop.
