Cambridge students cancel theme party over 'cultural appropriation' fears

Just how marginalised do you think Queen-bee is? She is the daughter of rich cosmopolitans, in medical school, able to jet around the Mediterranean and the western world generally while living and being educated in the UK, without a financial care in the world?

Yet by the Newspeak rules of behaviour she, as a minority member, can appropriate others' cultures to her heart's delight while spuriously claiming to be simultaneously ancient Egyptian-Macedonian-Greek (becasue theri incestuous culture is identical to hers, she has told us), Italian, Levantine, Arab (purely on the grounds of speaking the language), Christian, Moslem (as she knows a lot of Moslems and is vocal about Islamophobia), British and very knowledgeable, if not an expert, about Californian culture (because of her weekend trip to New York).

Someone is pulling someone else's plonker. And I think it is both of you.

How has this got anything to do with Queen-bee? That comment was me trying to explain cultural appropriation. I never said she was in a marginalised group.

And talking of backgrounds, I'm a working-class Irish Catholic socialist. Marginalised? I think so.

You need to have a word with the Irish government. It should do better for its majorities.

Queen-bee, a firm supporter of this silly concept, claims she is on the OK side in this debate, and can do what she likes with impunity.

I don't live in the Republic. I'm of a minority in the UK.

Meh. Nothing to do with me.

So, do you live in the mainland, where noone cares a stuff if you are Irish and will readily join in and congratulate you on St Patrick's day, and even less about you being an RC, or do you live in NI, where your political laws are protected by law (the only place in the UK where this is so)?

As much as I enjoy your casual racism towards little bogmen like me, you've proved my point about people like me being marginalised.

hehe. Of course, I would ask my non-white daughter-in-law for her permission to attend a fancy dress party in ethnic dress. I would then not be guilty of cultural appropriation. If she doesn't have the authority to allow me to do so, who does?

In fact, I have already asked her to allow me to eat foreign food, wear foreign clothes, read foreign books, sing foreign songs and to undertake many other cultural activities. She has subjected me to rigorous examination and granted me enduring permission to carry out all of them for the remainder of my life.



I can, therefore, never be accused of cultural appropriation without it resulting in a suit for slander or libel.

I don't live in the Republic. I'm of a minority in the UK.

Cry me a river.

Were they? Do you marry your siblings then?

OK. Now tell me why it is OK for you to do that, but not OK for the British to appropriate your culture (which is your argument)?

Because I'm a minority living writhing British culture and I must be able to speak English for me to get by,get a good job or education. There is no need for you to be appropriating Levantine/Italian culture now is there?

How else am I going to eat pizza and bet on the Palio?

You don't have to do such a thing,you choose to want to do it

Does it harm anyone? No. Therefore it doesn't fit your definition of bad appropriation.

I am actually a minority in the UK.

No,it doesn't but you're exploiting Italians

Yes,you've said before. Where are you from exactly?

How is it exploiting Italians? The pizza wasn't made there and they are going to hold the Palio regardless of me.

Ireland.
