boiling water in a lot of tiny containers. It ended up being surprisingly efficient, save for a mild case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Just as we all suspected, it was in his blood.

With rock'n'roll, it was not even just about money, it also did a pretty good job of bridging the gap between black and white people - I don't think it's realistic to say that this would have worked equally well if all the bands had been black.

White saviorism is the belief that you understand and know how to address a community and its problems in spite of not having any involvement with or ties to that community because you are white abd educated. Me thinking I can fix Puerto Rico’s issues because Im an educated white guy who has a poli sci degree would be an example of this as my Spanish is trash, I have never been to Puerto Rico, and Im unfamiliar with their history.

Cultural appropriation is utilizing imagery or concepts from a foreign culture. It can be good, bad, weird, or neutral depending on multiple factors.

The first paragraph implies they're the same thing.

Bingo, Im white and Mexican born. I can dress up in traditional Mexican stuff and no one gives a crap. If I tried to be a rastafarian, whose faith is focused on the return of African descended people back to Africa, itvwould be wrong.

Exactly, no Scottish person is getting bent out of shape if Im wearing tartan plaid shirts but dressing up and pretending to be Rastafarian would be inappropriate as Im white.

Selection bias

This gets to the question of what racial identity is and I would argue that someone who isn’t of recent African ancestry, who was not raised by people who have recent African ancestry, who then pretends to not just have recent African ancestry but then claims that their family aren’t the people who raised them (because they are white) is very clearly not stable.

A new Stonetoss huh

I know a bunch but they are in (sub)cultures that either get popularized and have very specific dictates for membership. The clearest example of this are how Rastas feel about non-black people appropriating the imagery of their faith whoch is dedicated to bringing the African diaspora back to Africa.

I'm not familiar, can you explain for the class?

It invalidates it quite a bit. Anything advertising Tim Pool to kids should never be validated.

Stonetoss is a comic writer who is also just straight up a nazi, and makes a lot of pretty bad comics.

I don't think the guy who made this comic is on his level but I'm only judging off this single one.

[email protected]

So you're saying that this guy is a nazi and his comics are bad, to some noteworthy degree.

Any comment on his actual point here?

Al Quaeda? Never met the guy.

I think that you would rather eat your own foot than address a point directly.

[email protected]

I have legitimately no idea what you're actually trying to say.

I was just replying to the user explaining who stonetoss was, I even said in my reply I don't think this guy is like him.

Or are you trying to pretend stonetoss isn't a nazi? Idk what to tell you there lil guy.

There's things like native American sports mascots which are but some Native tribes say it's ok, but they also don't speak for every native American.

[email protected]

They aren't the same person as the original comment, but no their words did not say they were a nazi, they only said this post wasn't as bad as some noteworthy Nazi that someone else brought up. I wouldn't call that a complement, but they answered your first question directly. Then you manipulated their words into an demanding question and they have you word vomit back.

Idk who these writers are, but I assume the aggressive response got the irrelevant answer

comfy

And also the representation of that culture. An ignorant attempt at mocking a culture can be offensive even if the intent is purely comic or positive.
