sunlight-chaser posting photos of non-natives wearing costume warbonnets promotes racism
lequick i don’t think so , it like saying taking straight people to play gay people is racism .
i’m not racist, i coming from an hignly mixed family. I’m afro-european/indo-asian mixed + i’m gay so…
^Above is a real response I received in order to argue that cultural appropriation is alright when he does it. *smh*
cultural appropriation is not like straight people playing gay people, which, by the way, would not be racism, it would be discrimination.
Cultural appropriation is reducing a race down to a stereotype and/or stealing pieces from a culture that isn’t your own and misusing those items.
It doesn’t matter is you are white or mixed race or PoC; if you post photo that depict racist stereotypes then you are promoting racism.
And being gay doesn’t exonerate you from your actions.
p.s. Note that in my original statement I am not calling him/her a racist; I said that the photo promotes racism.
