Cultural appropriation is about being able to do things that people from various cultures can't do without being seen as stereotypes
That's straight up racism. Appropriation is when the actual act of using a sacred cultural item is disrespectful -- what you cited deals with society's response based on race.
or taking things that have a great deal of importance to another culture and virtually none to you, like wearing an American Indian war bonnet if one isn't an American Indian.
This, on the other hand,
is misappropriation.
Also, non-Natives can wear war bonnets without disrespect if a band presents one to them & its worn in the appropriate setting. Likewise, if Natives from non-plains bands use war bonnets as fashion or to make money, it's also disrespectful.
Just because a bad thing, in this case sexist oppression, doesn't constantly happen to every person it could happen to everywhere doesn't mean it isn't a problem.
Well yeah, that goes without saying.
In case it isn't already fairly clear, I'm the odd person who actually pretty much supports the various causes generally known as 'social justice.'
Most of us aren't anti-social justice, we simply take issue with people who turn it into a mockery or behave hypocritically. For instance, people whose philosophy borders on segregation (versus simply acknowledging differences and taking them into account when analyzing politics), spew outright hatred towards majorities, claim to be intersectional and then ignore regional differences, and so on.
I'm hoping you won't ban me for this, considering the fact that I've seen legitimate fundies have been allowed to have accounts here.
I doubt you'll be banned. This forum is pretty open to social justice causes and (despite some recent drama regarding the subject) we enjoy having healthy debates.
In any case, welcome.
