Rome was a good example of cultural appropriation and how to do it right
really
Well
I don't understand
Why not just say what it really is... Culture Appreciation.
I still don’t get it
... you’re a fucking genius.
People wouldn't adopt it if they didn't appreciate it.
I’m using that from now on.
Ah
I adopted a lot of Japanese culture because I appreciate its beauty and grace.
Rome copied what they saw and implemented it.
I came I saw I copied
They were very adaptive and that’s their strongsuit
When you are white but look more Mexican in the outside 🤔
And because you're a weebmuffin
Then again Rome fell but let’s not talk about that
Not all appropriation is voluntary, so it can't all be called appreciation.
well some is necessary to survive
I also had a idea of co-opting racial slurs and changing them into something positive.
Words change meanings all the time.
Why not do it to racial slurs.
The US constitution was based off of the Iroquois constitution
I just don’t like how it’s anti fun
They'll just pick new ones
Does that count
What would racist call people they hate then? If the racial slurs start to mean something positive.
oh you can’t wear this or that for halloween cuz it’s cultural appropriation
All those words developed organically
Eh, I don't understand why we give certain insults the designation of "slurs." That's just giving words power over us as we deem them completely unacceptable
Eliminate Racism by taking away their voices.
They will continue to do so
I actually did that with one group of humans in a story I worked on since I was tiny
I couldn’t explain what each word became for the story because those words still carry weight
It would be much harder for them to speak from a platform if the words they use as racial slurs is changed into something positive.
They would in the end, be complimenting the race they hate.
XD
eliminate racism by stop making everything about race
No, they'd just form or choose different words
That too Moist.
