Indigenous Rising

plasmidkind:

So, I know i’m probably going to get hated on because of this, but I don’t see the problem in people adopting styles and traditions from other cultures. As long as people are being respectful, then I don’t think it’s inherently racist or “cultural appropriation” or any of that.

I think it’s…

you are only focusing on yourself.

you want to take this. you want to take that.

you don’t want to be in the cultures you steal from.

you just want to take whatever you want from them and move on.

you want to steal.

you want to reduce an entire culture into a stereotype.

you want to steal items from their cultures to benefit yourself.

what about the people from the cultures you are stealing from? How does you stealing pieces of their culture benefit them in any way?
