I had no idea that cooks who make food from other ethnicities would be harassed and accused of cultural appropriation.

Liberals denounce “cultural appropriation” without, in many cases, doing the work of persuading people that there is anything wrong with, say, a teenager not of Chinese descent wearing a Chinese-style dress to prom or eating at a burrito cart run by two non-Latino women.

It’s the article title I’ll change it if you want to give me an idea. I thought the article was thoughtful.

Oh no, my comment was directed at that author who used that title, not you for using that as the title of the thread.

I changed it here

the concept of "cultural appropriation" is just used to create an us vs them mentality. for example, in Japan, no one cares if a foreigner wears Kimono. only in the US where youngins are brainwashed in college to be angry at white people does it exist.

Pressing a political view from the Oscar stage, declaring a conservative campus speaker unacceptable, flatly categorizing huge segments of the country as misguided — these reveal a tremendous intellectual and moral self-confidence that smacks of superiority. It’s one thing to police your own language and a very different one to police other people’s. The former can set an example. The latter is domineering.

This judgmental tendency became stronger during the administration of President Barack Obama, though not necessarily because of anything Mr. Obama did. Feeling increasingly emboldened, liberals were more convinced than ever that conservatives were their intellectual and even moral inferiors. Discourses and theories once confined to academia were transmitted into workaday liberal political thinking, and college campuses — which many take to be what a world run by liberals would look like — seemed increasingly intolerant of free inquiry.

This is true about many republicans.

You might want to look up the details on the two non-Latina women. That was messed up imo.
