But would you say it’s cultural appropriation when a brand Or company copies from another’s heritage, slaps a high price (unbelievable one that the artisans can’t even dream of ) and sells calling it their design and creation. Without acknowledging the artisans/heritage. Not even accepting that they were the inspiration.
yale fer sure but it wuz hoity toity HaaaVahrd that a good 8-9 years ago BANNED Halloween costumes fer "cultural appropriation"--the irony wuz that the fella that started it--a black student--ended up donnin' an Aladdin costume an' not takin' any heat fer it.... (but no white gals as Potch-in-Tuchas!... tho' methinks they could be Liz Warren but who'd wanna?!)
I wouldn't classify the consumption of another person's culture as cultural appropriation.
I wouldn't say that an Englishman who eats a curry is appropriating Indian culture, or that a white person who listens to rap is appropriating Black culture. If the White person drops a mixtape, then that would be cultural appropriation.
these universities are intellectual cesspools
