Reporting is one of my triggers. Checkmate.

But seriously, surely this counts as cultural appropriation? If non-blacks are appropriating black culture by rapping, surely this is also appropriation?
Well anything is considered cultural appropriation these days. As a Buddhist, I'm tired of being told that I'm not allowed to do certain things such as meditating of visiting the Bodhi tree because it treads on people's toes.

Why are people against cultural appropriation? Enlighten me.
This question presupposes that cultural appropriation exists. It does not.

My English teacher at GCSE once got sent home and made to change her clothes for wearing a sari on world book day, because this girl complained. Wanna know the best bit? The girl wasn't even Indian :rofl:

The internet said it does, so it does.

A girl left my NCS group last year after my Indian boyfriend put on an indian accent when quoting his dad. The girl, who was Japanese left because he had "deeply offended her".
