A Brit doing an American accent is cultural appropriation? The irony lol.

If a Brit does an Australian/Canadian accent while mocking their monarchy, is that cultural appropriation too?

It doesnt apply to white-english cultures as they dont have real cultural histories.

Found the Scot.

Its not racist if it's directed towards a group in power - white british cannot cry racism because they are the oppressors.

Yes the british are all powerfull people. I'm always amussed to the excuses that SJW and progressives use.

Two friends joking among them about their heritage, one is offensive the other aint.

Then the jokes against minorities aren't ok, unless they are done by someone from inside.

As you said I'm latino, I'm a minority, and didn't like what you said and I'm offended, so by your proposition of law you should be throw in jail.

Thanks. For an instant I wondered if I had genuinely done something awful since I actually do care about racism. It's just that people sometimes point to something that happened fifty years ago and which wasn't a thing here and suddenly treat me awful even though it's a first. 

Never mind what happened in the US though... Reap what you sow I guess... While I think it's a bad thing over there, I am not into repressing creative freedom for the sake of political correctness. Especially when the real culprits are long gone, so I still think even things such as blackface shouldn't automatically be classed racism unless there's a clear wish to denigrate or mock someone. 

My two cents.

Wait... that's it? It's a wonder Brits don't consider me score then, given I have a field day doing Cockney and Essex accents whenever I am in the UK... 

SJW will distort anything to make a point. Even when a false rape claim is made they won't scold the female, they will said it was possible that it would occur and she being a woman is at a constant risk.

So by that same logic should we also stop fighting against nazi symbolism being a publically accepted norm? Or The N word? Where is the line? As progressives we believe that line should be drawn as whatever offends minority people. Frankly it should be a law, not a "rule" so that we dont have to have these arguements anymore.

And we also should fight Socialism, Communism, Castro, Che Guevara and all other traces of prejudice right?

And the others are the people with prejudice?

Sorry to tell you, but Vikings have culture, Celtics have culture, Roman, Greeks and all other people have culture.

 

We shouldnt appropriate from direct descendants of those cultures either, but its not as pressing an issue as appropriating braids etc from at risk groups. Lets focus on protecting those that need it most first, then we can argue about thats left

The world has gone mad, it was way better when people was able to be sexist, homophobe and racist all the fucking day with no consequences, of course.

They haven't taken over, but they've infected academia, Hollywood and the mainstream media with their destructive ideas.

Thankfully the silent majority can see through the bullshit. 

THe person was probably fired because of PR reasons, not to advance the Marxist cause.

And why would you need to fire someone for PR reasons if identity politics were not prevalent among the MSM, academia, etc?

Even the guy it was directed at didn't care. It's the PC cultural marxists at it again.

Hitler lost the war. White people are slowly losing their privileges in life as minority groups gain privileges. If Hitler won the war the nonsense of political correctness would not exist today. Hitler lost so we now live with the fall out. Political correctness is here to stay because Hitler lost the war.

A minority cant be legitimately offended over another group trying to protect their rights. Thats the same as gay people that vote republican even when those republicans try to ban same sex marriage etc. These people exist, but they arent the voice of their community. 

If you have offended a large enough, if not majority segment of a minority community then you're in the wrong.

"Cultural Marxism", I've seen that term many times, yet what does it even mean? What separates that from just "Marxism"?

We progressives are fighting for fairness, equality for EVERYONE. I dont understand why we're getting attacked here when our intentions are to support YOU.

Not really "everyone", when over 90% of the world's population is not of concern to you.
