As a kid, I put on a white sheet, a belt around my head to keep it on, and went as an Arab sheik.

“cultural appropriation” is a smoke screen. As always, they use a name that obscures the true meaning of what they are doing. They want this country divided into as many warring groups as possible. Black vs White. LGBT versus normal. Hispanic vs Anglo. Muzzy vs human. They are horrified at the thought that Hispanics just might adopt the culture of the country that they live in, and forget about why they are supposed to be hating Anglos.
This is why they don’t want Hispanics or other foreign-born to learn English. It’s why there’s voting in 29 languages and driving tests in 48. Why signs are in Spanish when most Hispanics want their kids to learn English.

I plan to have a party with a prize for the most offensive costume.

“Then I guess you’re going to be really bummed at my wife’s costume. She’s going as a ficus.”

LOL!

Schlichter ROCKS!

I can’t dress up as Moana (too cis-gendered for that much of a stretch), but Schlister has inspired me - maybe I’ll do Halloween as Israel Kamakawiwo’ole - can’t imagine anything that would make a bigger impression on the cultural appropriation busy-bodies.

Well then, it can go both ways, right?

It is insensitive to make fun of animals:

And robots don't deserve mocking!

We should never lose sight of the real motive behind all this balkanization:

DemocRAT voter registration drive and GOTV effort.

I am a 65 y.o. American.

I ‘shall’ (for those that know the true definition and weight of the word) celebrate ANY holiday (determined by me), in ANY manner (of my own choice), tactful OR tasteless, (depending upon whose nose I wish to tweak), and for a pre-determined period of time (satisfactory to me), discounting ANY and ALL complaints (which ‘shall’ be filed in circular file cabinet number 13)!!

Now, have a Happy Hallowe’en/Samhain/Celtic New Year!!

...which essentially means demanding everyone remain in the narrow box of intersectional identity the social justice warriors have decreed for each of us.

That would mean no black Santa Clauses during Christmas.

None of the SJJ slammed the original offender, Disney, for culturally appropriating Polynesian culture. Nor the actors, singers and writers that made a bundle off the movie.

Of course not, they all hope to collect paychecks from them one day.

I want an apology from Marvel and the entire Guardians of the Galaxy crew for culturally appropriating 80’s music into the movie. Of course, I'd just settle for some cash, just as these jerks would.

I'll bet that not a one of them ever thought of giving the ancient Greeks a dime for appropriating Homer, now overused in hundreds of movies.

Losers.

It's a good article, but I'd suggest the writer is wrong when he says their goal is to keep "everyone" in their cultural box. The SJW's have no issue with anyone who chooses to appropriate any part of western culture. It's only white people who have to stay in their box.

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.

Moana diverges from previous Disney movies, in that there is no male romantic interest for Moana. She displays no romantic attraction to Maui (probably because a movie featuring a 15 year old actress having the hots for a 45 year old guy would not go over well with the moms).
