Dr. Urrieta is the author of the award winning book, "Working from Within: Chicana and Chicano Activist Educators in Whitestream Schools"

"Whitestream Schools?"

What is that?

.

[Captain Rhino]

Yes. First challenge them to produce the original patent or trademark or even written reference to say, the burrito, then apply patent law to it. Most of the things/ideas the whiners claim are being “appropriated” would be found to have long since passed into the public domain and are freely available to everyone.

Of course, their rejoinder would be that patent law, like all law and things like international borders, are nothing but Western (white) tools of suppression aimed at suppressing the other races.

You don’t need to read past “cultural studies.”

If UT doesn’t watch it, they’ll have out Berkeley-ed Berkeley.

Individuals have property rights, not the “collective” (culture).

My “people” first ate fried chicken, greens and watermelon. Freed blacks appropriated these. Anyone is free to enjoy them.

Jail all the non-citizen immigrants for theft. They use certain aspects of our culture.

[Right Wing Assault]

A lot of people have already appropriated some of this guy's culture: Stupidity.

[zeugma]

I’m guessing these people haven’t ever heard the phrase “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”.

[Sam Gamgee]

On that logic, every country outside the US has appropriated pieces of our culture, so when will they start paying us?

[redcatcherb412]

OK we’ll give you back your sombreros if your illegals give back all their food stamps and other
free bennies from the gringos.

The left is recreating segregation. Lotsa luck with that, ethnic businesses, since people who can “identify” as white are still the largest sector of the economy.

[DuncanWaring]

I’ve seen that in Mexico, too.

[Bon mots]

The wheel was unknown in the Americas until our culture brought it over.

[Trillian]

They have no intention of following through with the demands they put on other people. Just like a good commiecrat.

[Fightin Whitey]

Ur-frickin-rieta needs to unappropriate his fat arse out of my country!

[jimfree]

Well-phrased, Captain. We might take it out of IP law now and describe it instead as staking and defending gang territory. We can’t walk on that turf or they will break our knees.

[Rebelbase]

Mex music is gonna take a hit.

[AppyPappy]

I live in the Appalachian hills and we want some of that Beverly Hillbillies money.
