Culturally Appropriate This, Social Justice Jerks
Now the leftist scolds are trying to crash our Halloween party with a long list of instructions and commands we’re expected to follow in order to PC-up our Samhain. Most of this nonsense is couched in terms of forbidding “cultural appropriation,” which essentially means demanding everyone remain in the narrow box of intersectional identity the social justice warriors have decreed for each of us. But, of course, it’s just more of the same old cultural power-grabbing that underlies everything these naggy progressive creeps do. So now, more than ever, it’s vital that we respond to their whining with the polite suggestion that they pound sand or eat rocks.
Let’s unleash the power of “No.”
The latest fake outrage has to do with Moana, the charming Hawaiian Disney princess. Some little girls whose ancestors did not come from that island paradise would like to dress up as this spunky heroine, and this is officially the worst thing ever, according to the blindingly white girls who run Cosmopolitan. Cosmopolitan, which surprisingly still exists and probably will as long as there are neurotic chicks living with three other gals in overpriced New York apartments trying desperately to find a man who can fill the emptiness in their lives while simultaneously telling themselves that they don’t need to find a man to fill the emptiness in their lives, says this culturally appropriates stuff from Hawaiians. It’s unclear exactly what is being appropriated – the floral print? She’s a Disney princess, with the same generic spunkiness, sassy animal pals, and cisgendered prince-longing that all Disney princesses have. She just has luaus instead of dwarfs.
Let’s leave aside the notion that anyone anywhere should ever take child-rearing advice from those who put people like Miley Cyrus on the cover as a role model with the injunction to “Sex Up Your Holidays” – decking the halls never seemed so infectious. Instead, let’s simply savor the sheer stupidity of this new obsession. These ultra-white girls from Manhattan have taken it upon themselves to speak up for the Hawaiian people and demand we not allow our children to commit the hate crime of pretending to be something they aren’t, which is sort of the point of Halloween but whatevs. https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2017/10/26/culturally-appropriate-this-social-justice-jerks-n2399851

Now, they don't want whites dressing as Moana. So playing their little putt putt games, would that mean I should not see anybody of any color dressed as Elsa (Frozen), Wolverine, Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Deadpool, or ANYBODY from the Justice League?
How f*cking retarded are people going to get? They are Halloween costumes for KIDS.
So, the next time I see some of these ultra white chicks drunk, I should blast them for appropriating my Irish American Culture?
LOL, like I give a shit what they do or think.
Hey Gary, I guess we need to ban anyone but the Irish from celebrating St. Patrick's Day, eh? Or Cinco De Mayo if they aren't Latino? Christmas or Easter if they aren't Christians? What next? We can't order Chinese food if we aren't Chinese????
Where does this idiocy stop Cosmo????
Exactly.... Couldn't agree more.
The nice thing is, those of us who belong to the 'IDGAS' union will still celebrate Taco Tuesday, Spaghetti Sunday and whatever other culturally inappropriate meal we feel like.
Dude, I'm sorry. As an German American, I've been consuming Americanized (watered down) Guiness.
Actually it wasn't initially Cosmo it was the NY Post, Cosmo just sent out a tweet mirroring what that article said.....A little history about this situation, last year Disney put out Maui costumes (the male main character voiced by Dewayne Johnson) complete with brown sleeves which caused an uproar so unfortunately because of that little incident, it evolved into this, stupid? Yeah, but it is what it is,
No dues.....not sure if anyone cares enough to make a card prototype.....
Can I have a membership card? Please?
Sure, just grab a sheet of paper write your name on it, write 'Member' underneath it. Or anything else you want to write on it. Why? IDGAS.
That might upset the 'You pick up in 10 minute' guy on the phone at the Chinese place.
Not sure what I will dress up as for Halloween, but at this rate I might try dressing up like either a Bleeding Heart Hollywood Liberal with a coke spoon hanging from my nose while I go around grabbing women's ass's, or a ultra-citified Liberal in old dirty clothes with a sign that lies about being willing to work for food while holding out my hand for cash. Only two kinds I really know!
Or, you could just dress up like your hero, Trump and, go around grabbing women's pussy's, should be interesting to see if you get arrested for that one.
Wouldn't this be even more interesting to see me arrested for???? I figure since you're being so kind as to help me remove the speck from my vision, I'll help you remove the board from yours..
And just so we are straight on this: I didn't vote For T - Rump ; I voted Against sHill- ary ! There is a difference even if the result is the same.
Comb over appropriation? So, I'm sure you would be offended if people dressed up like a successful business man. While you are outraged by that, can you tell me how long time government civil servants went from being 'almost broke' (their words) to multi-millionaires? Please be specific.
Interesting post! I wonder if it's ok to pet the head of a liberal wearing a pussy hat? Maybe if the person wearing the hat was the same gender?
What is the PC ruling on that?
Petting or grabbing pussy hats is OK as long as you are smoking a cigar.
I would never do it without rubber gloves.
I will start worrying about cultural appropriation when people stop dying their hair blond....
Umm....you do realize that's not cultural appropriation right?
Do you realize.....humor?
As long as it makes sense.....yeah Like if he insinuated two long pony tails or straightening their hair then that would have been funny, this...not so much
In your, ahem, 'humble' opinion.
As long as your argument falls along the same lines as the actual definition of cultural appropriation....then go for it
Do you realize there is no such thing as cultural appropriation.
You don't own a culture. Period.
I'm going to guess that YOUR definition falls along these lines which is the same line of thinking that says only White People can be Racist. Me, I subscribe to the common sense theory that if it was Their's and you take it, you've appropriated it! Or maybe liberated it??? Not sure. I'll have to ask Max Klinger or Radar O'Reilly. They are experts in the field...
Ok....what culture is blonde hair cultural exclusive to?
Cultural appropriation is simply taking aspects of another culture and applying it to yours...that's it
Now blonde hair is NOT a cultural aspect, its a genetic trait, now if he would have said braiding hair in blonde Heidi like pig tails, or getting Ceasar haircuts then he would have a point.
Umm...when did I give the impression that cultural appropriation was a bad thing? I have appropriated many things from other cultures over the years....it's made me grow.
Please stop ASSuming
Well that will just be your little secret then!
4 hours before you clarified your position 2 hours after I made my point. In case you haven't noticed, most of my part in this conversation has been tongue-in-cheek. Don't take it personal; I'm just poking fun at ya!
For the most part, Eastern Europeans and Scandinavians.
Albinos are a genetic exception.
I disagree, hair color is very much a part of the style of a culture and plays a part in it's "fashion." Blond hair as used by people who do not naturally have blond hair use it almost exclusively for fashion purposes. In this way they are appropriating northern European culture for the purposes of fashion.
Everyone having fun here but you. Must be sad to live in a world where you can't see humor.
Ima natural caramel blonde but I have brown highlights, so whose culture am I miss-appropriating?
I was hoping that it was somebody important that I was offending. I'll try harder the next time.
resistance is never futile and it always makes a great hobby as well.
Note: if I ever do or don't do anything because some liberal said? just shoot me... tks

Are you a practitioner of The Craft?
Blessed Be!
And liberals seriously wonder why they lost to Trump....

Bolding is mine.
This is clearly someone in Mom's basement. This whole screed is about some thing the "naggy progressive creeps do". Yawn -_-
I read about this new "culturally appropriate" campaign the other day. Campaign is probably the wrong word to use. Anyhow, I heard about it from an article posted in the NY Times from a story they wrote profiling a college in Seattle Washington.
So, my take on this is that diversity is being honored and promoted by stifling diversity......brilliant.
I have no doubt that there were similarly stupid ideas vomited out by previous generations but they didn't have the social media platforms that we have today so it wasn't broadcast from one side of the nation to the other.
PC hysteria is almost as bad as anti-pc hysteria.
The seeded article spends about half it's time denigrating Cosmopolitan magazine as a beacon of elitist white girl self-guilt.
Sloppy work by the author. The Halloween article didnt originate at Cosmo, so everything the OP writer attributed to Cosmo 'elitists' as it pertains to the thinking behind the Moana 'cultural appropriation' argument is, well, wrong.
The article comes from the magazine Redbook , which I think seems to pride itself on, well, not being Manhattan elitist.......
