Apparently, wearing your own culture’s clothing is a form of cultural appropriation!

Apparently, wearing your own culture’s clothing is a form of cultural appropriation!

Social justice warriors at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are demanding that two students of Arabic heritage be expelled from the college because they wore Arabic clothing!

Let me repeat: the “offending” students – the students who were accused of “cultural appropriation” – are of Arabic heritage and were wearing Arabic clothing.

Those two students are in the bottom right of the picture, shown below.

The social justice warriors also want everyone else in the picture expelled too.

After being told that the two students wearing Arabic clothing were themselves of Arabic descent, one of the social justice warriors who had demanded their explusion said:

“Although that story might justify on an individual level, it does not justify on a systemic level because when people see it, they don’t know that story. When they see it, they see it as a justification for wearing cultural costumes.”

Four different social justice oragnizations at the college – “Students for Justice in Palestine,” “Black Students for Revolution,” “Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan,” and “Campus Union for Trans Equality and Support” – all joined together to form a brand new social justice organization called “Not Just a Party at UIUC” (NJAP).

Apparently, it never occurred to them that the acronym “NJAP” contains a racial slur.

That they would form a brand new organization in response to some students having a party that consisted of consenting adults is absurd.

That they would demand that everyone who attended the party be expelled is also absurd.

That they would consider it “cultural appropriation” when students wear clothing from their own culture, well, that’s absurd too.

On a cooking competition show, an Austrian chef showed up in lederhosen.

It proved to be impractical, as the braces kept slipping, hindering him. He quickly asked for someone to tie them in the back.

I'm guessing his outfit wasn't based on the original "working man's" design.

Do these idiots realize how idiotic their demands are?
They want everyone segregated by race, though everyone who is non-white gets the right to interfere with white activities as they choose.
They want everyone to live in cultural ghettos if not physical ones, becoming the living epitome of stereotypes.
They want you to take the race, gender and ethnicity of people into account before you speak lest you offend them - and they are inherently in the right. So instead of sensitivity, you’ll get avoidance unless you get people ignorant of traditional stereotypes now having to learn them.
You get idiotic stereotypes enforced by the leftists in the name of racism. You already see this with black conservatives attacked as not really black, black kids who get As or join academic clubs beaten for acting white. Now you’re attacked as not really a member of the tribe if you don’t follow both the dress code and behavioral code.

Does anyone else have the very strong urge to dress as offensively as we can and do a college de-sensitivity tour?

I honestly can’t handle this kind of news anymore. It is truly poisonous to our American soul.

Godspeed freepers. Fight the good fight.

More noise from the excessive free time majors that don’t require study.

I am waiting for the laundry list of white/european clothing, tools, inventions all culturally appropriated by blacks, to be handed to them, and told to stop stealing our culture.

Western hairstyles. Automobiles. Video games. Televisons. Air conditioners and central heating. Non-african cuisine. All medical drugs. Mp3 and cd technology, cassettes and records. Virtually all tools. The list keeps on going.

They won’t be left with very much.

I think we know where all the blog post ideas come from.

It just takes a psychic episiotomy and all the words fall out and are assembled in a random fashion.

If you are interested in a woman’s opinion, always choose a kilt. Always. Much more appealing ;-).

That’s as bad as blacks being expelled for wearing dreads, hoodies, untied Air Jordans and baggy shorts halfway down their butt cheeks!

It's all on an automated system.

The minute the check clears the clients bank it's done by virtual robots remotely.

Many also sign up for the process to open up their third eye.
