RE: My tattoos #5 - culturally appropriative "indian maid"

in #life7 years ago (edited)

The biggest question to me is "What is your intent?". In this case there is intent to profit, not to share culture because of a true appreciation. I completely agree that extorting culture for money is wrong. But the whole "white people can't have dreads" argument is a far cry from this. The term Cultural appropriation has been so broadened it means nothing.

Update: White people participating in Yoga is now 'cultural appropriation'...
