@realJimmyFay This is just one example. There is definitely such thing as cultural appreciation but those aren’t the instances I’m speaking on right now. #sp21
@realJimmyFay It’s not as though they’re adopting the culture though. I doubt people who wear headdresses on Halloween are doing it as an expression of culture. It’s a lightheaded appropriation of a culture they know nothing about and don’t care to learn anything about #sp21
@tnburns101 In my opinion, getting upset over changing a name as such is a clear indication of privilege. It’s obvious these people have no clue what genuine oppression looks like #sp21
@tnburns101 Perfect example. “Redskin” was/is a derogatory term used by colonizers to refer to the native Americans. I can’t believe the people who genuinely got mad for changing the team name from a slur. Ridiculous #sp21
@realJimmyFay I do agree that some things get blown out of proportion, but that shouldn’t distract us from acknowledging and remedying the way minority cultures are viewed, disrespected, and demonized in the United States #sp21 7 sorry for the spam
@realJimmyFay Seems like a spit in the face, especially while occupying the very land they stole from them. Nothing less than mockery in my eyes. There are many more examples and I could have phrased this all better but cultural appropriation is most definitely a thing #sp21 6
@MazzRugar @Sacred_Goose I think your last line hit it right on the mark. Being treated “normally” is one thing, but that is a PRIVILEGE in a society that systematically treats minorities as less than and forces them to live in conditions that are borderline abusive #sp21
@Alie65664572 @JoshuaJH532 @Juliabdietz I think the real human rights issue should be all the children in the system right now. Some having nowhere to call home, and others being transported from foster home to foster home so much they lack the stability, comfort, and care needed to grow up with healthy mechanisms #p21
@tnburns101 Case in point: wearing a mask & vaccines. People are willingly putting themselves and their families at risk, making us lose control of these new, mutating variants just because ppl like Tucker Carlson say so. But they’re “free thinkers” 🧐 #sp21
@Sacred_Goose Being treated “normally” is a privilege in and of itself. Being called privileged does not even come close to being as severe as the realities that POC deal with on a regular basis. #sp21
@EvanKuo4 Fall under the preconceived, bigoted stereotypes placed upon them in the minds of racists. Like who gave you the authority to dictate what it means to be Asian, Black, Latin, etc.? One thing they have for sure is the audacity. #sp21 2/2
@EvanKuo4 Exactly. It’s completely dehumanizing. It also invites racism and bigotry upon those part of the “model minority” if they are perceived as deviant. Some random privileged white person does not have any right to tell a POC they “don’t count as a ___” because they don’t #sp21 1/2
@caputisp21@Kjajajahah @MazzRugar It seems like a big joke to him. Security and guidelines are placed on these concerts because it’s a huge matter of safety, for both the performers and the audience. It was just a matter of time until this happened. #sp21
@caputisp21@Kjajajahah @MazzRugar He is definitely at fault. There’s been statements made by security at his previous concerts that say he was openly telling the crowd to fight against security because “they can’t take you all at once” #sp21
