United Nations Wants to Outlaw “Cultural Appropriation” Worldwide

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.”

Irish don’t get potatoes.
No Peaches for Georgia! (Doom, despair & agony on me!)
No Tomatoes for Italy.
No Popcorn for movie goers worldwide other than ‘Native Americans’.
The list gets really interesting!
No more black Twitter?

Let’s just outlaw the UN.

>> “Western medical advancements” <<
A mythical concept to be sure!
Western Medicine out-laws life itself.

Dear UN,
Please cease consuming from and operating all AC based power plants.
Sincerely,

“And until every black woman in America is sporting a natural ‘fro they can leave me the “F” alone about anything I do.”
Long as they are still wearing shirts then all bets are off.
There goes the pizza place and the Chinese food joint.
Shoes, shirts, reading glasses.... books! The list has no end.
White man legacy is to do all the work and pay all the taxes.
How could something like this even be administered. Oh I get it. Hire another million EU bureaucrats. More Star Chambers.
It sure does get interesting following it down the rabbit hole.
While some the indigenous folk in this hemisphere raised maize, not to be confused with the general “corn” of Europe, had they actually developed some form of a “popcorn popper”?
And even if they had, they could have their popcorn feed but without the movies, not part of their culti-techno heritage.
“I think a lot of nonwhite people will be unhappy they have to give up the white mans medicines, machines, clothing, music and cuisines.”
Yes. Ban the world from appropriating American culture. Cars, electricity, internet, phones, liberty, etc.
They’ll be cooking their food with animal dung once again.
Dr. Naismith was white.
I think its way more than that.
So I guess this means Disney will be required to completely dismantle the EPCOT Showcase of Nations. Maybe the American Adventure Pavillion can stay.
No more Italian pasta.
