What is cultural appropriation « The Long Way Home →
O hai! I finally finished writing this! After starting it more than two years ago {facepalm}. There is more to come that I’ve worked on & researched. Hopefully responses to this won’t be so faily that I’m unmotivated to finish the rest.
Excerpt:
There are a number of issues around cultural appropriation which I see continuously bog down discussion. I think they revolve...

Cultural Appropriation: Dreadlocks
racismschool:
ardhra:
“Dreadlocks originated first with Jamaican Rastafarians and then in Indian Sages and Yogis.”
This is why white people should stop talking. Three seconds on Google, and you’re a fucking expert.
EDIT: Okay, I think I previously saw that racismschool is white on their blog, and didn’t see the FAQ where they explain their b/g. So, my apologies. That opening sentence is...

Cultural Appropriation: Dreadlocks

racismschool:
Are Dreadlocks really cultural appropriation?
YES
Here’s why:
Dreadlocks originated first with Jamaican Rastafarians and then in Indian Sages and Yogis. Specifically it was started by holy men. These men renounced all of their worldly belongings (Including combs) and as a result their hair started (and remained) to turn into dreadlocks....

Aw, thanks for the vote of confidence, but I try not to talk about sex work, actually! Unless it’s in a context where I know what I’m saying is well-substantiated.

Trans Sexuality - A Safe Sex Zine →
boybitch:
tobitastic:
Safe sex information is almost universally designed for non-trans (and straight) folks, and then that information is given to us when and where it applies. However, there is a lot of information that is unique to trans people and trans bodies that never gets included. This zine answers the question, what would sex ed look like if it was designed specifically for trans...

Can we discuss this?
I’ve been thinking a lot about this. I think it’s fine if people do yoga for their health and teach others for free or for trade. I’m not into white folks who learn yoga from white folks, attempt to market “Eastern spirituality” (however they interpret it), make a ton of money off of it and basically steal and repackage it...

and one last thing—that’s my number one pure venom spitting hatred for all scifi/fantasy books in the world—the idea that white folks are survivors and resourceful enough to survive in the face of the apocolypse or some other world shattering event— and people of color either don’t exist or exist in this weird other sphere that rarely if ever crosses with the white survivors....

M.I.A’s “Bad Girls”: Social commentary, I think?
Most of us have seen it. I accidentally came across it during my daily Morocco news search. The desert landscape, Arabic writing on walls, men in thobes and shemaghs, veiled women in gold–I thought, this is either orientalism on steroids or a legit social commentary. As someone who’s listened to M.I.A. for several years,...
