why cultural appropriation is harmful:

gurkeyrith:

  • it reinforces stereotypes that reinforce oppression and racism
  • it reduces & dehumanizes people to simply being “exotic”
  • it romanticizes cultures by showing them as “something that once existed in the past”. no. my culture will always be a constant.
  • it homogenizes a group of people by portraying all of them as the same
  • it reduces my culture into a fashion statement
  • its using cultural symbols, from a culture you don’t belong to (THEFT!), in order to satisfy your need of self expression
  • its non-black people appropriating AAVE to look cool. black people talking in AAVE are perceived as not being intelligent but nbpoc or white ppl who use AAVE don’t have to deal with the same bullshit, discrimination, and racism
  • because I can’t wear my ethnic clothes in a professional environment but white people wear bastardized versions on Halloween
  • its exploitive & steals from the minority group that deserves credit for its culture
