How is that being dressed as a Puerto Rican?
You'd go to Venezuela or Colombia and see people dressed the same as well
Hell even Ecuador or Peru I think
Baseball is very popular in Latin and central America, is not unheard of that someone is fan of a baseball team from another country
I don't see how being dressed with something resembling merchandise of a baseball team means you are Puerto Rican or dressed like one
And to go further, I believe it is EXTREMELY racist to think so.

Well, it's what he said he was doing, so that's why I went with that. Also note the specific terminology associated with Puerto Ricans.
Chief Editor At 'Bon Appétit' Resigns After Racially Insensitive Photo Surfaces
The undated photograph from a Halloween party shows editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport and his wife in stereotypical costumes meant to portray Puerto Rican dress.
NPR (www.npr.org)
In isolation it would be racist to assume a man wearing a baseball jersey was Puerto Rican or dressed as a one as a caricature. It's not when it's labeled as such by the people in the photo, and when asked about it they admit that's what they were doing, and then apologize and then ultimately resign.

Agreed. The humor of the comic is in the hyperbole.

Absolutely worthless non-value added comment.
It adds nothing at all to any thread and it just makes you look unoriginal as
so many others pop into a thread drop that phrase and leave. -

I might suggest a fifth item for your list, which has to do with whether you, as a non-minority, are appropriating something that a minority has been given a hard time for. For instance, a number of Black hairstyles have been denigrated for generations, leading to people having to deal with damaging, toxic, expensive, time consuming chemical treatments to achieve more culturally acceptable hair. So when non-minority people wear cornrows or dreadlocks to be trendy, especially while Black people are still being made to feel uncomfortable (or being discriminated against) for wearing the same styles, that can sting in a different way. This isn't limited to cultural characteristics, but it's a sensitive aspect of appropriation that includes cultural stuff.

Yes, but if it's trolling don't engage. If it's genuine, you have to acknowledge when they are correct. You don't get a free pass to be racist, even against your own kind, just because you're a minority. However, you are better positioned to be critical of a particular minority if you are part of it.

To an extent, like (as a Mexican) I don't give a shit if people wear sombreros or ponchos as a form of clothing, but I see them wearing specifically as a costume especially on days like Cinco de Mayo (which is not a sacred holiday) and it pisses me right off.
My culture is not a costume, and that's where I draw the line at appropriation. If you want to wear a sombrero or poncho cause you think it looks cool and you wear it as a part of your daily wear, that's fuckin weird bro, but you do you.

I can't believe you were so upset by his fairly accurate portrayal of the "reverse racism anti woke" crowd that you wrote 4 paragraphs of nonsense. Did it hit too close to home for you?

I think you're either not very bright and too argumentative for it, or a troll.
Either way post less.

I can see how it's extra sensitive, given the genocide

There's a difference between engrossing yourself in another culture and being actively hostile to another person or culture.
The kind of people I'm talking about are those that get offended on behalf of a culture they're not a part of, for someone simply participating in that cultures traditions.
They're not out there actively mocking, attacking, or otherwise demeaning that culture, it's traditions, or it's people.
The difference is malicious intent.
Bullies have malicious intent in spades.
People wearing the garb of a culture they were not born into, do not.
