So fucking done with people complaining about cultural appropriation all the time. Not even serious issues, but some shit in kind ‘OMG SHE GOT A DREAMCATCHER’ or ‘HE HAS DREADLOCKS’. What the actual fuck. Cultures mix. People take one after another. Ever heard of globalization? You are all a part...
“You are a part of what you call ‘cultural appropriation’ and you are not any better than ‘silly crackers’ who dare to get a thing connected with your culture”
How does wearing “tribal” printed clothing connect you to Native cultures? How does having a dream catcher connect you to Native cultures? It doesn’t.
There is a difference between cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation.
You use people’s cultures for your own enjoyment, taking what you want, reducing it’s meaning and mocking the people you stole it from.
