acknowledge the cultural appropriation they engage in

It seems to me that the concept of cultural appropriation is at odds with the concept of diversity. In this case, wouldn't yoga benefit from the diversity of its practitioners?

In the primary, or as a Republican?

[nesnah]

Well, damn! The light bulb just went on!

Hillary! didn’t want to release those emails about yoga cuz she’d be seen as a racist.

[King Moonracer]

Americans do yoga without the smell.

In the primary, or as a Republican?

As an independent. (Please note that I don't agree with him on a lot of things, but he has been trolling Lieawatha so much that the humor value is worth it)

I’m a liberal’s dream: I have little use for much that isn’t from the British Isles/islands of the North Atlantic. I don’t even eat Chinese or Italian food.

[GingisK]

Sigh, indeed. The human species is clearly devolving.

A downward facing dog usually wants to play.

[ronniesgal]

so they want free yoga for immigrants and poor (er) people? why didin’t she think of this when BO was in office? Michelle the flexible would have been all over this.

“Cultural appropriation” and “diversity” are not at odds, because only whites can be guilty of “cultural appropriation”, and only non-whites can be considered “diversity”. So non-whites can take whatever they want from white culture, but whites must never take anything from non-whites.

In response to the article, Indian women generally already know how to do yoga, so they have no need for classes.

Humans have copied this dog behavior.

Cultural appropriation!

[Architect of Avalon]

The number of things appropriated from Europeans exceeds the number of things appropriated by Europeans.

Its also a sign of submission in dogs which undercuts this loons theory.

Used to be “melting pot”, now its “cultural appropriation”. As far as white supreamacy goes, I say build a better system and you, too, can be supreme!

such as Indian women to whom this practice rightfully belongs,” Gandhi argued.

I suggest Indians stop making use of the practice of modern medicine, which rightfully belongs to the enlightened West. That should solve a number of problems in the long run...such as the existence of this "scientist."
