Someone explain to me the problem because something’s are in fact racist and some thing just aren’t and you guys need to distinguish which especially withy this
Thank you! I’m so glad you said this. I think some fans are just using this catch phrase “cultural appropriation” to bully and condescend. I don’t get it. It was a fantastic headdress, a work of art. It was obviously for sale so the person who made it knew a stranger would buy it. Since when do we segregate art? So only black people can listen to “black” music? Only Asians can buy Asian prints? The artist usually likes it when their work reaches across cultures and is appreciated!
