hello😭😭😭

[mira @yoonimig]

@nemoserves to twitter??

[mira @yoonimig]

@nemoserves @PAGANSPARROWS a more accurate comparison in this situation would be an american going to bulgaria and insisting that bulgaria and france are the same, considering americans are the ones insisting there only exists one overall white culture in europe

[mira @yoonimig]

@NickMarajjjj @haleysaysstuff @orioleglow a lot of people were saying that the song was for people outside the US and then one of them phrases it as americans aren’t allowed to listen to it and you all go mad

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 okie, sentiment returned

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 so you are, sadly, in this case the quote on quote white person

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 i’m not saying they are equal, i’m using a comparison to show you a viewpoint you don’t see. the same way a white person may not see a problem with no ethnic diversity, an american won’t see the importance national representation as your nation has always been center

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 you are very close! we are taking baby steps, so you can acknowledge that seeing black people on TV has been important representation, now apply that logic to nationalities

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 aha? does every pop artist appropriate black culture every time they make a pop song in your opinion?😭

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 from what i’ve gathered she goes into the pop industry and makes pop music

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 another one then, black people being casted in the game of thrones universe; same as earlier, do you think a black game of thrones fan could feel happy that something they enjoy now has someone they relate to in some way in it?

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 if you scroll back up you will see that i have already answered this question lmao, i don’t think you have to showcase your culture and dance around in national attire to rep your country, most europeans think being a pop artist on the global scale is representation 😃

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 appropriation aside, if a black person were to become really renounced in say, classical music, even if they didn’t bring any cultural aspect other than their blackness, would that not be black representation in classical music?

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 i feel like i’m actively trying not to dodge the theme of appropriation by asking you about it repeatedly since you are the one who knows about it, but either way, i think that representation and appropriation are two separate conversations, one doesn’t cancel the other out-

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 why do have the idea that everyone around the world should be updated on what black culture entails when you don’t care about any other cultures yourself?

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 ???im genuinely asking you what you think adela is doing is appropriation because i dont know

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 maybe we just have too different viewpoints to be able to see each others perspectives here, can i ask what about adela you consider to be appropriation?

[mira @yoonimig]

@MoonlightSun444 @ctrl_sedgrick i don’t think we’re going to agree with each other and that’s ok
