drbluejeanns asked: lol pretty much tho as a fan of shitty ice cream flavors i have to take umbrage at that remark
drbluejeanns asked: well yeah that too, I usually incorporate patriarchal hegemony with the leaders of whiteness, though patriarchy is not limited to white people obviously
drbluejeanns asked: Yeah seriously tho, white people are the fuckin worst. Also, whiteness is the most detrimental social construct in the world
Anonymous asked: "so did people just never learn that "reverse racism" is not a thing? nobody can be racist against white people, did no one ever tell them that? like you can't be sexist against men? words? words words words?" --> are you kidding me? racism/sexism are concepts that are not inextricably tied to historical experience/precedent. Though racism/sexism may historically have...
Anonymous asked: do you think that europeans/european descendants are inherently evil/bad?

filth-thezine asked: Why do people always feel like they have to defend whiteness? Why can't they see there's good and bad in it, just like in every stupid thing on god's green earth? And why don't they read your other posts about how it's not just white people who perpetuate cultural appropriation (though we do dominate in that field), about how cultural appropriation manifests anywhere that...
Anonymous asked: can you please share more information about yourself? just so the readers of this blog are aware of your background. where you're from, how you know so much about cultural appropriation, etc. thanks.
Anonymous asked: take an anthropology class you fucking shmuck
Anonymous asked: "i literally am the worldwide population of oppressed peoples" --> that is actually a disgusting and horrible form of satire and you should seriously delete this blog after making such a thoughtless remark. like actually.
Anonymous asked: No, i'd say a moron who starts a blog on cultural appropriation with no legitimate background on the subject who is racist and is falsely under the assumption that he/she/they can represent an the worldwide population of oppressed peoples is THE WORST
Anonymous asked: You're pathetic and if you truly care about educating people on cultural appropriation you should provide scholarly sources/articles on the subject and stop pulling bullshit out of your ass.
Anonymous asked: on a sensitive and deeply significant topic that you are in no position to be instructing people on. It seems as though your personal experience with cultural appropriation has engendered a skewed understanding of race relations in your mind. whether you'd like to accept it or not, your answers to peoples questions reveals that you yourself areracist. you obviously recognize a fundamental...
Anonymous asked: THAT'S THE PROBLEM. To use the word "white" as a referent has significant implications and only reveals your misunderstanding of history, race relations, everything... Your "referent" overlooks the HUGE NUMBER of people with white skin who historically DID NOT practice colonialism (as well as non-western groups who WERE imperialistic i.e. japan). Also, "acceptable...
Anonymous asked: the word "white" is not synonymous with the privileged, hegemonic powers that exploitatively colonized territories worldwide. Many groups share the same skin pigment as the members of colonial powers but to use the word "white" interchangeably with "imperial, hegemonic powers who happen to have white skin" in historically irresponsible and facilitates unhealthy...
Anonymous asked: better than you (in fact it probably makes us significantly worse AS A WHOLE) because essentially we (we being our government, heritage etc) have enforced it, creating this break between all cultures is whats gonna stop people from giving a shit about others and what everything really fucking means, proper respect you for opening peoples eyes to cultural appropriation but grow the fuck up, you...

Anonymous asked: Is there a difference in appropiation betweeen a white person that gets salon dreads vs one that just doesn't brush their hair? Like the former could be trying to imitate poc but the latter is something that happens to everyone that doesnt groom their hair much
Anonymous asked: Ok serious question: Is it appropiation for a white person to mimic the style of white group that hasn't always been considered white or have been considered more marginal when compared to other whites? Like I'm asking about a non-Slav wearing Slavic style clothing or a hipster that imitates the style of Appalachian mountain people.
Anonymous asked: i think i basically get yr point but one serious question cos i really have a hard time undertanding (i'm not from usa): where does c.a. start? does sb with 1 cherokee grandparent have more right to use cherokee practices than sb with one cherokee greatgrandparent? may a cherokee use iroquis practices? may a hispan. amer. wear dreads? may a White person read pushkin (he was Black)? may a...
Anonymous asked: i wonder if in a u.s.-american context muslims could generally be considered as p.o.c. as they are clearly discriminated against and if so if that meant that conversion to islam (which islam on principal considers as possible for everyone no matter what heritage) would somehow "un-White" White people. do you have an opinion on this?
smaashthemac asked: Your blog used to be really wonderful... people would ask real questions, and you would respond with meaningful, smart, well thought out answers. Now it's a bit of a joke. When you respond the way you have been... with your one word or sentence answers, often really offensive... it's really hard to take your previous, intelligent resoonses seriously. Not that the questions are any...
Anonymous asked: You're obviously just racist against white people.

daftgrunge asked: Serious question: What about blacks who wear locs but are not rastafarian? I am asking because I am black and considering locs but do not want to appropriate.
Anonymous asked: can i still eat bibambop tho korean food is so bomb
Anonymous asked: if a white girl takes a picture of herself dressed as pocahontas but never uploads it to tumblr, does it make a sound?
Anonymous asked: I bet it pisses you off when white people name their daughters things like Cheyenne and Shawnee and Dakota and whatnot. I was just thinking about that the other night.

Anonymous asked: is cultural appropriation no laughing matter?
Anonymous asked: umm i guess natty bo, maybe some dogfish heads, hook and ladder, good shit, yknow. nah i wont be dead. basically do i have to worry about being a racist sexist ableist culturally appropriating privilege denying wealthy ass white male if i dont talk with anyone? ps: im down to drink in a submarine at the bottom of the marinara trench too, that would be tight

Anonymous asked: wait wait wait wait are u white? i dont talk w/ white ppl
Anonymous asked: oh also how do u feel about ofwgkta i liked frank oceans verse on oldie a lot
Anonymous asked: If you're a white person policing hip hop then yes, your privilege needs to be checked and you should take a seat all the way down in the Mariana Trench.
Anonymous asked: I don't think Iggy Azalea is racist. Clueless? Yeah. I don't know, I feel weird about white people being up in arms about it. Seems like some people really need to check their privilege, at least she realizes she was wrong.
Anonymous asked: do u like asap rocky
Anonymous asked: can i still use a bow an arrow tho. for like archery an shit
Anonymous asked: dogg, where can i find a precise and concise definition of cultural appropriation
Anonymous asked: First off, I love your blog. A very good friend of mine who was Indian actually died about 2 weeks ago and I haven't really known how to deal with it. She was always very proud of her Hindu culture and donned beautiful bindis, some more decorative and some more traditional. Regardless, she always looked awesome. Following her death, I've felt compelled to wear a bindi of my own in her...
Anonymous asked: This is the stupidest shit. Cultures intermingle and "appropriate" things from each other all the time. You are some young, pretentious little shit who's looking for something to feel outraged/pretentious about because in modern hipster circles you're not cool if you're not critical. fall in well, discover some band no one will ever know about, wear skinny jeans so tight...
Anonymous asked: What's the point of mocking POC? Like, why start this tumblr? Did one person upset you, so you had to mock all oppressed people to get revenge?
Anonymous asked: i think ur realky a white man, as u appear to ridicule the fact that cultural appropriation exists with your responses. u seem to imply that it dont exist and u mock the idea tht sum1 cud be racist. if u wanna be racist, whitey, do it openly or r u scared? fucking white ppl. fuck u.
Anonymous asked: My friend (we are both white) hand made a dream catcher for me for my birthday. It made me super uncomfortable because, on one hand, there's obviously some serious cultural appropriation going on there. On the other hand, she went out of her way to make me a gift and I really don't think she knew what she was doing. I didn't want to be a bitch or hurt her feelings by not accepting...
