Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
She's quite cute to be fair
Irrespective of whether it's right or wrong I think white blokes with dreads look fecking stupid , very few white people have the hair texture needed to grow dreads , they just look like middle class crusty students
The scene in the inbetweeners 2 film where will takes the piss out of the white dreads boy who lives with his parents in Surrey and is only on a years break travelling before coming back to work in the city of London is fecking hilarious

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
What about people with curly hair that straighten it? I think that should be banned too - outrageous!!

I agree with this cultural appropriation thing.From now on I would like to see black people stop wearing clothes and go back to grass skirts and wear a small bone pierced through their nose.

She was indeed a looker, but she couldn't act, even if her life depended on it.

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
I don't personally see anything wrong with this - but then it isn't my culture being appropriated so then I wouldn't I suppose.
If people do object to it and find it offensive then there's no harm in them speaking up, but it doesn't mean people have to stop having that kind of haircut - we would never do anything if we couldn't offend anyone.
If enough people agree though, and having that kind of haircut becomes culturally unacceptable then I guess it will stop, but we haven't reached that stage.
Some things already just look or feel wrong to the vast majority - the UKIP Calypso for instance. I defy anyone to listen to that without their cringe gland going into overload.

Why do you presume that?
Seems like you are going out of your way to be offended by snowflakes going out of their way.

I'd put a hell of a lot of money on this being accurate. Some people aren't happy unless their offended by something entirely innocuous on behalf of other people.
One of the best things that people from around the world have to offer each other is their culture. Living in Japan, I occasionally see Westerns adorning Kimonos here and no-one complains. Japanese people actually find it gratifying for the most part (as far as I'm aware), and yet if someone were to do it in a Western country, some SJW would whine and cry about it and claim it to be some form of bigoted racist attack. Absolute madness.

2 people's twitter handles are quoted in the independant article as being critical of the look, but by no means hysterical about it.
One is dark skinned and the other doesn't have any pictures up.

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
What we get now is outlets reporting on what is being said on twitter. Its the issue with the need for 24 hour news.
Its not the world going mad, its just that people spout rubbish on the internet, it would be like Walesonlne constantly reporting the rubbish spouted on here (as if that would ever happen).

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
We live in strange times and it’s an ever perpetual circle of people being offended by people being by people being offended etc etc etc .
People basically believe write shite on social media and then it gets multiplied.
An example of this today I’ve viewed is one of my duller aqaintamces sharing a picture of a bacon sandwich beiciae Facebook has removed it for being offensive.
It’s come from a ‘proud to be English page
Ironically the person sharing it is of mixed race from the Docks who’s not the slightest bit English.
When did people become so thick?

Not a day goes by on this message board where someone is posting about a story which is sourced by social media.
The thing is social media is targeted, it will reflect your world view, if a page you like suggest that pictures of bacon sandwiches are banned off social media then they eat it up. The fact that its nonsense doesn't occur to them.
I think the idea of offence is over rated by many, the ease and access of social media is that many people will post throw away comments, that do not reflect the true view, the media report it because it is easy and generates clicks.

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
On the one hand we are expected to mix. Be a wonderful melting-pot of multiculturalism. You eat my bacon butty, and I'll wear your hijab. I'll wear your English morris dancing kit, and you can siarad Cymraeg a bit. Then another bunch of nutters spring up this term - cultural appropriation. Wonders never cease.
They can't decide what they want. Create a new exception, a new special interest group, a new whinge. Gives them something to shout. Best thing is to ignore all these nutters and just get on with your life. It's all irrelevant noise from a bunch of screamers.

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
Does cultural appropriation only count in clothing or hairstyle?
Seeing Elytillidie's avatar of The Clash it got me wondering if they would have been accused of the same thing back in the day.
They fully embraced reggae and later on the burgeoning hip-hop scene in New York.
do white boys make reggae records anymore? UB40 dont count.

Spot on, usually the papers find 1 or 2 tweets about it and use it to justify “people are talking about” and idiots get taken in by it.
As far as I’m concerned most cultural appropriation isn’t a problem with anyone.
I remember it started because people were wearing bindis as a fashion accessory which I can see why people who were religious were using something special frivolously but even then there wasn’t a real fuss.

The story may have originated on social media, but it made the papers, which then makes it an issue. Cultural Appropriation is not just somebody putting the twit in Twitter though...

Exactly. Cultural appropriation is nothing new. Elvis sang "negro spiritual" songs.

This non-issue was brought to my attention whilst reading through the news online. Seems it made several national papers and was thus presumably read by millions of people. I then checked the net to see if it was an actual issue, or just some social media storm in a teacup, When I found the articles in The New Statesman and The Guardian, two respected publications, I mistakenly thought that if it's not an issue, it's in danger of becoming one. I don't class myself as one of the offended, the non-offended, or the offended by those who get offended, and certainly didn't mean to cause offence.

the other 2 articles were from 2015 and 2016.
The daily mail have printed this because a) they can print pictures of the little mix girls wearing very little clothing (clicks) b) little mix fans will read it, and become outraged because little mix can do what they like (clicks) c) the 'worlds gone mad' brigade love it and will post it on football message boards (clicks).
Lets be honest its the first time i've been involved in a debate about the hairstyles of little mix on this site.

Re: Cultural Appropriation ~ a new one on me.
I think some don't realise quite how desperate newspapers are to keep updating with new 'stories' throughout the day and keep the hitrate up.
This forms a good deal of the news nowadays.

Most of it is nonsense. But I must admit I am amazed that Ali Campbell got away with singing in a fake Jamaican accent without anyone calling him out on it.

A debate is an intellectual process of elimination, a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition, or is that an argument. Glad you never slagged off Little Mix, that would have been crossing the line, one of my grandaughtes used to love them.

They are desperate for any readership and clickbait nonsense that inspires the morons who comment on anything “PC” is what they’re mainly looking for.

It usually gets posted on here to with - “what’s this world coming too” as a thread title.
At least the alt-shite have moved to oocc or whatever it’s called.
