Re: Related to #6 - Do you believe in cultural appropriation?

[(Anonymous)]

Appropriation literally means taking for one's own use without permission, so anything that is shared or sold, or is not removed or devalued by duplication (such as food) is by definition not appropriation. Cultural exchange =/= cultural appropriation.

you really think there's such a thing as cultural permission? what do you think it looks like? who do you think has authority to give it? do you think those things the UK took from middle eastern, mediterranean, and asian cultural sites didn't have individuals of those cultures sell them access and provide them passage back to the UK with full knowledge of what they were bringing? is that not sharing? when you say devalued, devalued to who?? how many people have to feel devalued before it becomes true?

even by definition, you won't see "appropriate" incorporate permission as an undeniable part of the understanding of the word (you'll see something like "typically without permission" which is a cue for connotation, not denotation). cultural exchange and appropriation are products of cross-cultural interaction, but appropriation has to do with integration of a an idea from another culture into a second culture. So food can absolutely be appropriated, and often is (and I don't mean this negatively). idk there's something very funny? weird? about suggesting that the very shady and aggressive uk chartered trading companies, and multiple, multi-year wars and between china and the uk which resulting in forced increased trade was china "giving permission" to the uk to incorporate tea into their national identity.
