stop with your cultural erasure and white imperialism please

Really? Isn't that a piss poor excuse?

There are so many "cultural" things out there that most people would call out and out torture or mutilation. For one thing, female genital mutilation. Which is part of many African cultures. Should we not say anything about that because OMG! cultural erasure and white imperialism! You are a part of a global community. You can't do anything you want under the blanket of, "That's my culture" and expect the rest of the world to go, "Oh, okay. Do what you want." That's not how things work.

Pretty sure that's an SJW troll, tbh.

You can never tell. There's got to be a different version of Poe's Law for these things.

Also what about foot binding? (completely ignorant foreigner- is that still a thing?) It is(was?) a part of Chinese culture, and it was incredibly harmful.

The Communists banned it in 1949. Never thought I'd say this but, "Thank you, Communists."

Oh, man I'm right there with you. Thank goodness. (But IMHO it's positively shameful that the practice continued well into the 20th century)

It freaked me out as an American when my mom pointed out that her grandma -- the only wholly Chinese person in my family tree in quite a few generations -- had her feet bound. I had heard of it before, but really thought it had died out way before then (this would be late 19th century). I've also always wondered what her husband, who was Spanish, thought of the practice. But she didn't stay in China and afaik didn't pass on anything besides knowledge of the practice on to the next generation.

DA
You're comparing female genital mutilation with corporal punishment that don't involve actual torture, mutilation or serious injuries?
Wow. Just... wow.

I think the thing that ticks people off is that the only justification was "but it's part of their culture", which is the shittiest excuse ever. At least give another reason.

They are simply saying that telling someone they aren't allowed to judge a behavior because it's "their culture" is problematic, and shouldn't be the only response/excuse for ANY behavior.

No, I am saying, "it's a cultural thing" isn't an excuse that is going to fly.

And that's exactly what all colonists say.

all colonists say "genital mutilation is bad"?

oh sure, first you take away the genital mutilation and then you start forcing people to convert to Christianity. fucking colonists

I hope so. My God, I hope so.
