Vicariously Offended

When you deprive examples of context you do a disservice to the point.

If a Japanese person asks you explicitly to wear a kimono, then yes of course you wear a kimono. There isn’t a progressive/leftist/etc. in the world who would disagree with that.

I just said that the formatting reminded me of AI. I didn't talk about the content

Most could be anything from just over 50% to 99%.

Oh good grief. Of course the Nazis had a chart. I hardly know any German, but there sure is a lot of "verboten" on that.

Makes me wonder if there was a similar thing for Jim Crow laws in the deep south.

I take issue with this.

Main point being that, no matter how respectful the appropriating individual is, they are now being judged for actions that they themselves may have never taken.

Secondary point, and I know this is a nitpick, you say "minority" and "non-minority", but those terms can always flip when you change view points. I doubt you would give white people from African Countries a pass on their cornrows for being minorities in their country, and if you did, what if they move to the US?

I think people should be free to enjoy whatever hairstyle no matter the actions of unrelated other people. But what do I know, I'm just a person from a culture nobody wants to appropriate anyway.

it still matters

If it was as high as 99% you would’ve said so.

There was definitely an implied accusation

[email protected]

To be honest, all that just seems like an incident blown out of proportion

As I see it, someone else is referring to this dude as papi, which is basically daddy but in Spanish, and then added a hashtag on Instagram that says "boricua", which might as well be related to food as the guy is apparently a chef?

It never says he is cosplaying as a Puerto Rican. At least in the picture they post, nor it looks like it's the intention.

Then there is a lot of people saying something about brown face or black face? What, can't people be tanned? Or somehow do they think everyone from LATAM is brown or black?

Are you for real, I said "most" because it's a vague guess and not some actual number.

But sure, let's say it's 99.919191%. Repeating of course. Better? lol

[email protected]

Not my intention

[email protected]

All good

[email protected]

We both definitely agree it’s a guess

Its a real person thing, I have had the displeasure of interacting with them.

Of course, they were young college kids who heard the term for the first time in class and were eager to prove how enlightened they were, but holy shit have I heard some hot takes. The college culture at an administrative level also plays into it, since they had an incident where one of the undergrad history professors told students it wasn't their job to educate the class on racism.

The "I'd imagine" part of the reply might've been a bit of a tell

There's a Prager U video about this.

It's ok to do offensive things if you can find a representative to validate your behavior

[email protected]

Cinco-De-Drinko - yeah that's a quick yoink, just so we're clear I will not be citing my sources

[email protected]

I don't think just wearing the clothes is offensive thing to begin with

[email protected]

They had an official "one-drop rule", so no need for a chart I guess. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

It doesn't.
