Cultural appropriation
@rastinza But yeah. Cultural appropriation is for example when you belong to a dominating culture and adapt something from a different culture in an inappropriate way.
Hawaiian pizza, using a turban as a fashion accessory, spirit animals, white supremacists adapting Norse cultural symbols and so on.
Cultural appropriation
@alda
Alright, it's unclear to me what you mean by dominating culture. Do you mean people in a country where one culture is majoritatian that adapt something from a minoritarian culture within that same country?
Moreover, as far as I see this is not approved by many people but I don't understand why.
I can understand something that might be insulting, let's say using a religious garment in an offensive way but other than that I don't see problems.
Why someone shouldn't wear a turban if he wishes to?
Why shouldn't someone have a spirit animal if he so wishes?
Please explain me the Hawaiian pizza example, I guess it's one example of Italian culture appropriation.
I am Italian and thus I should be offended by someone eating it or cooking it?
What's the problem with that?
