Cultural appropriation does represent juistice and fainess. Don't hijack other peoples cultures. It's a simple rule. It's not divisive, it's anti-divisive. The only people that consider it divisive are racists who want to destroy other cultures by mixing them with their own.

 

First of all, don't call anyone that disagree with it or you, a racist when they're actually not. Frankly, that's fucked up because you're calling me a racist in a roundabout way and it's intellectually lazy of you to resort to insults like to discredit opinions you disagree with.

We live in a world where traveling to other countries is fairly easy and convenient. People from many different cultures live with eachother in many different countries. It's impossible for these cultures not to intermingle or people to take in traits from cultures that surround them or that they like. If you want to adhere to this nonsense "rule", by all means have at it but don't try to push that crazy shit on other people. 

 

I wasnt calling you racist, although I can see how you might have construed it that way. I suppose I'll ammend my original post with "racist or ignorant". And yes, we need to push basic decency on other people. That's what we do with the N word, that's what we do with the nazi symbols, etc. This is the same thing. You "push" people to be decent.
