Re: Cultural appropriation?

[(Anonymous)]

I was having this conversation earlier today:
Basically I get where it stems from: It's a well known fact that people have taken cultural things, even sacred things, and made a mockery of them and preventing that is a good thing. And often it's taken as black and white when there is a lot more grey and cultures have a long history of influencing each other (there's a certain legend I love that has: a scottish variation (selkies), a mainland european variation (swan maidens) and an east asian variation (heavenly maidens), probably more!), so there's actually some blending between cultures historically. The problem is not that, it's taking aspects of other people's culture without respect and using them as fashion without caring for the history or significance of a thing.

Personally, I think I wouldn't be able to live on british food. I was raised on curry and new mexican food, and I love asian food as well (which, by the way, I was taught to cook by people from Korea and Japan so I know that at least some are willing to share). Is it appropriation when I eat asian food? When I cook asian food? Even though the asians I know are actually eager to share these recipes?

British people sure as hell don't. We're not crazy. Curry is our national dish.

AYRT,
I am British, just in case it isn't clear, and I am aware of curry being the national dish.
But this being a cultural appropriation discussion, well, that seems like a debate on its own. I meant things like bangers and mash, yorkshire pudding and even fish and chips.

Re: Cultural appropriation?

I heard a rumor that curry was actually invented in England, not in India. Or modern curry. Or something like that. No idea if that's true, though.

The Chicken Tikka Masala, which is the most popular curry here, was invented somewhere in Britain when someone complained of their curry being dry. Curry did, however, come from India.

I've heard that anything called "vindaloo" is a very British take on Indian food.

This reminds me of the fact that pasta originally came from Asia...hey, Italian food is all evil because they've been doing this for centuries!

Or, more realistically, nothing would be the way it was if cultural influence weren't constantly happening.
