Mainstream Racism: Cultural Appropriations & Chinese Prom Dress

in #informationwar7 years ago (edited)


The failing New York Times had some stupid slop in it's pages on the day after May Day normalizing a mainstream racist theory while helping create noise that ensures failed government interventions like perpetual pointless wars and the drug war that doesn't even get drugs off the street will continue unimpeded for many years to come.


Apparently a bunch of unreasonable on the internet think some American girl wearing a dress is cultural appropriations which is somehow impermissible and racist. Richard Dawkins discusses the nature of cultural evolution and a metaphor of culture as genes tiny replicating metrics of culture he termed "memes" in "The Selfish Gene." These unreasonable people don't seem to understand for all people who are not from England we all have appropriated the English language.

In fact the whole basis of the cultural appropriation nonsense is that people should be totally be defined to whatever indigenous culture external actors ascribe to them and then it is racist if they do not conform with the taxonomies elites in government subsidized institutions have chosen for them--ensuring that poverty and the real issues of our time continue to be ignored and not meaningfully dealt with as long as possible.


In fact the failing New York Times article interviewed people from Twitter assuming them to be Asian and thus for some reason having a reason to be upset of someone of a different culture liking an artifact and using an artifact of some other culture.

So in conclusion if you make fun of people who are not like you and mockingly use their products you're probably not a very nice person. But if you are someone who fights windmills and invents controversy and create balkanization over at best very unimportant issues while innocents continue to be murdered without justice or we continue to pack our fellow persons into cages for victimless conduct-- you are probably way less likely to increase aggregate utility than even people who might culturally appropriate in a non nice manner, which is likely a very small amount of those who culturally appropriate. And ultimately either we are all one people and all one race and all free to be who we want. Or we are all different and should remain different and not intermix. Cultural appropriations theory really is a nonsense theory that has interestingly facilitated mainstream endorsement for racism and tribalism embraced by elites. So it goes.

good looking out thanks,

Believe it or not, chinese people are the most racists ones in the world. If you haven't noticed yet, don't worry: you will know in 20 years.

I dont know the people I have met have been great

I think that every human in the world could do it all what he wants but only if it not hurt another peoples. Why we have to look good for someone ? We have to fell good for self , we have to do it something for self. If people would love self and help each other , world propably could be a better place . I am respecting all people , no matter look , religion , lifestyle , clothes and other things . We have to be only good and the pure kindness will comeback to us <3

Nice good to hear, yea I think people should be free and treated according to their charachter not their ascriptive phenotypes

Legit writeup.... It's a huge thumbs up from me

thanks, glad you enjoyed it, I hope things are going well for you!!

It's a gradual process friend and i believe things will work out fine; thanks for caring...... You could check out my blog, i believe you won't regret it

Cool I'll try to hope the weekend went well

I can only hope that we will see that nice day, where all races can live together and respect each other. We are all humans and not different. Instead of supporting each other, we started living in a crazy world full of hatred and wars.
Good work, keep it up :)

Yea would be nice I think someday it may happen unless the military industrial complex continues war for all time

👍👍👍

Only on the day after May day? How is that different from every other edition of the NYT?

Complaints of cultural appropriation are just part of the strategy of divisive identity politics. They need to create reasons for people to feel their identity group is somehow under assault from straight white people.

I agree, create windmills to keep the real issues from changing
