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.

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

Let's put together a group wearing blackface, a sombrero, moccasins, a t-shirt with "Trump 2016" written in chalk, and ride through the campus on camels while carrying a confederate flag.

That wall was destroyed by a black mob a couple days after that picture was taken, even though the wall was built on the frats own private property.

The black and SJW mobs are really feeling there power now.

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

Except, for some strange reason, to my wife AND daughter. Go figure.

Boy, staring deep into the eyes of SJW girl: “Are you wearing cotton panties? Because that would be, like, supporting slavery or something. You must take them off immediately.”

I recall my parents came back form Europe and bought me some lederhosin. I know they made me wear it a couple of times, probably just over to the grand parent’s house I suppose. God - I hope I didn’t wear it to school - but I may have.

At my son’s public school there was a kid that wore a kilt most of the time. I think he did it just to be different. I’m not even sure he was Scottish!
