You're asking me if some over-apologetic maple syrup drinkers in a northern country wearing my military's uniform somehow offends me.
I don't think any real American out there actually gives a f ⁇ There's certain days where you see something so stupid That it pretty much like gives you cancer.
There's moments where I have to literally go get CT scans to find out if I develop some sort of pathological deadly disease From watching this horrible horse online from these liberal outlets like HuffPost and of course none other than attention.com So we're gonna we're gonna come on this ride together Looking at are you a bigot?
Are you a racist?
Find out in just four minutes here on Instagram.
But before we get into that, welcome back to our daily dose here on slightly offensive with your favorite gay black woman always me Elijah Schaefer culturally appropriating many different societies since as long as I can remember and also not caring at the fact that I do it because who really does care about that?
I know I don't.

This is straight up a $6.99 discount hat that somebody bought from the local Walmart so that they could bring it on the show as a costume and then say this is not a costume.
On top of that, as they point to a costume saying, I swear this is not one, they then throw it off, like showing that they just don't care about it, which shows you it's as cheap as they said.
but it gets better because we're about to get lectured on why we're all secretly racist and bigots.

So put the sombrero down and step away.
Here are five things you didn't know about cultural appropriation.
Number one, it's been happening for centuries, but we've just started talking about it.
If it feels like cultural appropriation became a hot topic overnight, that's because it sort of did.
Very simply, cultural appropriation is the inappropriate use of one culture by another more dominant culture, usually without permission.
These people are so ready to abandon everything that is Western society and culture that they will literally talk about the next bullshit idea that just comes into their ear.
It's like if it's Googled frequently or trending on Twitter, it becomes a part of their worldview.
And I love how the guy's wearing a sombrero in public and the girl goes, what are you doing?
And the guy goes, I know, it's just a little gross.
Straight guys don't talk like that.
Oh, this is just a little gross.
You know, it's a little gross.
The editing and the script in this video, but it doesn't stop there.
Watch, watch as it continues.
This gets even better.

It's been going on for hundreds of years, but it seems like no one was really talking about it until 2012.
Someone coined the same idea as cultural diffusion in the late 1800s.
But if he wanted it to take off, he really should have tweeted about it.
Google trends show a huge spike in the last year when pretty much every celebrity you can think of was accused of appropriating in one way or another.
If we're going to talk about things that are invented by certain people being their culture, then anybody who's not Western and white is not allowed to fly, which is a ridiculous statement.
But of course, rather than focusing on the consistency of their logic, which is flawed and would actually lead to a very broken and disgusting society where people couldn't get along, and that would be wrong to do that to tell people, oh, you're not white, you can't fly, whatever.
That's the kind of society they're advocating for.
But it has nothing to do with people who aren't white being barred.
It's just barring white people from doing things that are traditionally not done by white people.

Number three, but not everyone has the power to culturally appropriate.
It might actually be a beautiful thing if power dynamics weren't at play.
One culture borrowing from another culture, the fair exchange of fashion and food.
But cultural appropriation happens when a dominant culture picks and chooses what they like from a less dominant culture.
This is what I'm imagining.
Authentic Mexico.
You see the little lady making homemade tortillas in the corner?
But can a marginalized group appropriate from a more dominant culture?
Yeah, the answer is yes, they mother trucking can.
And that's just the truth.
You know, we're a children's show here, so we don't use, but we don't use poo-poo language.
But I will tell you this, this is this cultural Marxism, this hierarchical way just to target people who are dominant, aka white Western people.
And really when you get down to all these leftist ideas, they talk about inclusivity and welcoming, but they always make exceptions.

Number four, minority groups assimilate based out of necessity.
Before we hashtag cancel everyone, we have to look at the context of why some groups are forced to assimilate into other cultures.
When someone borrows from a culture more dominant than their own, like when a black woman makes her hair look more like a white woman's, it's often out of necessity.
She lives in a world where white culture dictates how she needs to look and act to get ahead.
Maybe one day when people with white-sounding names aren't 50% more likely to hear back about a job compared to people with black sounding names, we can talk about how minority groups appropriate white culture.
Why is it weird if white people enjoy something about your culture?
And why is it?
I mean, because white people aren't the only one appropriating, right?
He's even saying that all other cultures do this, but it's only bad if white people do it, which is a really interesting take.
And that seems to be the conclusion of all these leftist ideologies, is that legitimately everything white is bad, everything non-white is good, which is not even reverse racism.
It's just downright discrimination, sort of what we see happening in South Africa.

Appreciate and not appropriate.
Are you worried about appropriating?
Experts suggest that one way to make sure you're appreciating is to participate in cultural exchange, not culture taking.
Culture taking is a major fashion brand using Native American culture, slapping it on the runway, and selling it to the New York elite.
There's no exchange.
Native culture is used but completely removed from the transaction.
So how can you make sure you're appreciating culture responsibly, even if you're not the head of a major fashion label?
Get consent from people in the culture you're borrowing from before you borrow, not after.
Basically, run it by a friend.
Looks fine.
You look like a tablecloth.
And when you benefit from borrowing from another culture, share the wealth.
So number five, we finally get the conclusion here.
You can appreciate but not appropriate.
And who makes that damn rule?
Where do you get the line between appreciating and appropriating?
This is where the power goes into these people's hands because they put some nebulous idea out there, like you can appreciate, but you cannot appropriate.
And then they don't even tell you really what the difference is between appreciating and appropriating, nor do they even have the authority to tell you that, nor do they have the authority to even make a big deal about this.
But then people listen and they shape our culture.
And it pisses me off because when it comes down to it, these individuals in all levels of understanding are kind of creating these barriers to assimilation.
And what they're saying is, is that, you know, all cultures need to live together.
It's multiculturalism.
Put everyone together.
But if white people try to, you know, adopt anything of the other culture, if they try to enjoy a Mexican restaurant or dress up in some attire, they're bad.
So they basically put everyone into a corner of division to where, you know, obviously the blacks, the white, the Hispanics here, they say those people can appropriate because that's not racist.
That's just necessity.
But when a white person does it, it's racism.
It's downright discrimination.
And you see this, this war on the culture, this Americanized culture to where they don't want assimilation.
They don't even want cohesiveness.
That's why they yap about racism all the time.
They want to create racism.
They want to make it so that no matter what a white person does, they are still a discriminatory person.
They're still racist.
And there's no way for them to come out on top.
And a lot of people know this and they see that the odds are stacked against them.
But the truth of the matter, when you look at all this being said and done, I'm a cultural appropriator.
I admit it, and I don't care.
Cultural appropriation doesn't even exist in my worldview.
It's not real.
I don't think people should be disrespectful to people's cultures, like just to make fun of them for the sake of it.
I don't think it's nice.
I don't really care if they do, though.
It doesn't bother me.
But also, if you think cultural appropriation actually bothers you, you need to grow the hell up and you need to suck it up and you need to recognize and realize that you are brainwashed to think of things that aren't real.
Anyway, I'll never be as bad of a cultural appropriator as Will Witt, who of course, he himself is the worst culprit of them all.
Have a great rest of the day.
As always, and may God bless the United States of America.
