My dude dreadlocks have been in celtic, germanic, and scandinavian cultures for millenia. All you're doing is promoting racial ignorance and segregation.
But are they wearing traditional Slavic kołtuny to house dangerous spirits away from the rest of their body, or are they attempting to copy African dreadlocks without any cultural connections to Africa, just because they smoke weed or think it's cool? I bet it's the latter...
the only comment that actually gives a counterargument i can understand, thank you. still looks cringe and like they're trying to be like black people lol so i'll definitely still be embarrassed for them if i see it in public.
You know what? I'm actually gonna meet you half way and say she's appropriating ancient white cultures because those dreads do look really fucking terrible.
This from the guy that doesn’t believe China exists…
I went to "china" last week and all I saw was a giant ocean where the gps said was supposed to be land.
Then where do all of my sex toys come from?
Clearly Democrats have massive factories where they employ hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to make sex toys that will turn you trans and give you abortions in between driving all those immigrants to every polling place in america.
Ask not from where the sex toy was sent, but for its destination.
"hair is cultural appropriation"
What a dumb take lol 😆
Is that really your takeaway after reading that? Are you cool with affluent white girls wearing Indian headdresses at Coachella? Because "hats are cultural appropriation" would be a similarly dumb take I guess.
Cultural appropriation is a bullshit concept only the dimmest of wits take seriously.
So are you okay with the scenario I laid out? Surely there is something out there that you'd recognize as offensive to someone's culture in that context?
Nothing is inherently offensive. People take offense to things. Sometimes reasonably so. In the scenario you laid out I think it would be insane to take offense to that.
I'll say, I made the mistake of wading into this bullshit on a shitpost, so that's my bad. But this is a shit tier edgelord centrist take. Like yeah there's probably a handful of people out there that don't think black face is offensive, way to miss the point of the conversation completely. Go ask the indigenous people in your life what they think about people shitting on their culture for clout at a music festival. Be better man.
Sometimes it is absolutely reasonable to take offense. Black face is probably one of those times. I think you're the one missing the point. Also, wearing a piece of clothing isn't the same as "shitting on their culture", at all. Crazy how stating obvious truth can be considered an edgelord take lmao. Think better man.
You can see this idiotic take above, you're not having this conversation in good faith if you're representing it as "wearing a piece of clothing". Black face is just "putting paint on your face" why is that reasonable to take offense to? Do you know the history of headdresses or are you just being contradictory for no reason?
I think it's probably reasonable to take offense to black face because I'm pretty sure it's always done with the intention to mock people. With headdresses I don't think that applies at all. But no, I don't know the history of headdresses, and I could be wrong. Both things still aren't inherently offensive, and cultural appropriation is still a bullshit concept.
Look all I'm gonna say is you're out here calling people dimwits and you're "pretty sure" of x and "don't know the history" of y so maybe try educating yourself a little bit before throwing those stones in that glass house.
If you take the concept of cultural appropriation seriously you are a dimwit. Knowing 'the history' of a specific piece of clothing does not change that.
I'm white and currently wearing a poncho and a sombrero while wielding two pistols. I guess that's offensive, too?
I would say ponchos and sombreros are usually worn for their utility, so I don't think there's an issue there. But I'd be curious to hear from anyone with more skin in the game than us.
So can (white🙄) men wear a dress, or will you have a meltdown over that too 😋?
Why would I have an issue with that? A dress has no cultural significance.
Do you ignore the female culture?!!
/s lol
A historically oppressed culture at that.
I don't know what Coachella is, but girls out there wear any hat you like! Lol lol lol!
First article says "yes, no discussion"
Second article says "depends, as they originated in many cultures, but be aware that people might get aggressive about it"
Also the 2nd article is titled "Are Dreadlocks Cultural Appropriation?" However the commenter made the hyperlink text: "Dreadlocks Are Cultural Appropriation". Lol. Regardless of how you feel about the subject, that's a bit of a disingenuous citation
oh yeah I get aggressive about it. looks cringe as hell and gives me secondhand embarrassment on their behalf
You could just, you know, mind your own business and stop being a prick.
