United Nations Wants to Outlaw “Cultural Appropriation” Worldwide

Matt Miller Jun 15th, 2017 12:37 pm 20 Comments

The UN wants to expand intellectual property regulations to include cultural entities and concepts, such as clothing, dances, arts, medicines, etc. The UN’s efforts would allow for legal action to be taken by minority groups against those who supposedly steal or monetize a piece of their culture.

The United Nations has been making efforts to outlaw “cultural appropriation” for over fifteen years. Via CBC:

Delegates from 189 countries, including Canada, are in Geneva this week as part of a specialized international committee within the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a United Nations agency.

Since it began in 2001, the committee has been working on creating and finishing three pieces of international law that would expand intellectual-property regulations to protect things like Indigenous designs, dances, words and traditional medicines.

The meeting takes place as concern grows worldwide about the rights of cultures to control their own materials. In the U.S. this week, designer Tory Burch agreed to change the description of one of her coats for women after Romanians protested that it had been described as African-inspired when it actually appropriated a traditional Romanian garment.”

On the one hand we’re supposed to embrace diversity and learn to be understanding of other cultures and races and such. But at the same time we’re excoriated for attempting to immerse ourselves into any other culture.

Screw the hyper-bureaucratic leftist micromanagers and the horse they rode in on!

And until every black woman in America is sporting a natural ‘fro they can leave me the “F” alone about anything I do.

So, Irish American can no longer eat corned beef, because they borrowed it from Jewish immigrants?

So, Orthodox Jews will no longer be attired in a way they borrowd from Polish nobility?

Italians can no longer eat pasta, since they borrowed it from the Chinese?

Fine! Tell the Japanese they can never enjoy Tempura again - ever.

The Portuguese introduced that dish to the Japanese a long time ago.

- and no Western medical advancements for anyone outside of Western civilization.
