discourse has stirred up re: the latest overwatch patch
OH MY GOD aaahahahaha
aaaaaaa expats were a mistake

The only mainland Chinese guy I know certainly thinks so, what with them not contributing to the national redevelopment.
But setting that aside…
Does this mean Junkmei is confirmed?
It bothers me when white ppl and other non-black ppl try to justify cultural appropriation with that “culture sharing” bull crap. Like black people are telling you to stop twerking and wearing our hair styles. So listen? This isn’t a fucking debate.
“I too believe in strict racial segregation”
So if one side says “don’t copy” because its cultural appropriation and the other side has (at least historically) said “don’t copy” because it’s degenerate art, does this mean that it’s win-win.
by not twerking you can please college students worried about oppression and the KKK, it’s a rare opportunity.
Tfw you wanna be a “good ally” and think you should “play it safe” by defaulting to the most hardline views on cultural appropriation and suddenly you’re a reactionary cultural nationalist
white people shouldn’t participate in cultural appropriation discourse without permission because it doesn’t belong to them
tfw when you take it so far that you loop around to grouping culture by race and not wanting people to leave their racial culture because that would be “inauthentic” and you oppressing them because your racial imperialist aura is just that strong
i don’t even

i’m not sure how many reaction images i need for this so let’s start with five trillion
Reading comprehension is for white people. Also Asians but we won’t mention that in our article. Anyone else using it is cultural appropriation.
(This is a joke. I’m joking.)
Argh, I’m super bored and ornery today.
Hey internet, I just mixed Indian curry with kimchi and put it over Japanese rice. Quick, someone come yell at me about cultural appropriation.
What about Japanese curry! They picked it up from the British, who picked it up from India, so it’s been through multiple layers of cultural reinterpretation.
The Imperial Navy made it a standard dish, just like the Royal Navy, and apparently the maritime defence force still eat curry for Friday meals even today!
But we must go deeper… while the Japanese were occupying Korea, they introduced curry there. Now you can get Korean Japanese British Indian curry, a hybrid dish whose existence depends on the most brutal imperialism of the 19th and 20th centuries!
Coming up next: why the US navy drinks coffee and the British navy drinks rum, a sordid tale of slavery and exploitation. Yay, history!
When a university student living in the Philippines uses American Black lingo like “fam,” am I supposed to criticize his cultural appropriation or celebrate his multicultural diversity?

I’ve seen this before. Supposedly black people invented it and now white people using it is like the height of racial slights.
this👏is👏bullshit👏like👏everything👏else👏on👏tumblr
The handclaps thIng is dumb but I’m not evil enough to claim it’s cultural appropriation to try to stop people using it.
I wonder, if, on some level, the opposition to “cultural appropriation” is driven by an intuitive realization that if you actually mix all the cultures, you don’t have a multicultural society anymore, just one with a dominant one again.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
