All of this talk of cultural appropriation vs. segregation has made me wonder about a few things. Misstwist mentioned white people can't have dreadlocks. I've seen a lot of white people with dreadlocks and no one ever got angry at them for it. Were they in the wrong?

I, personally, have always thought cornrows were beautiful and wanted to have them. However, I never have because I had never seen anyone with my ethnicity with them and thought it was some unspoken rule that we weren't allowed to.

This isn't me complaining about it though. I'm fine with it if I never can. But I do want to understand the reasons behind these things and why they exist. Would anyone be willing to tell me or link me to a place that would explain?

I live on a very mixed campus and a good chunk of whites and Asians have dreadlocks and no one cares here either; people have more important things to worry about I guess.

It's kind of an SJW thing. They think that if a white person wears/uses/does anything from a non-white culture it's cultural appropriation. For one, you'll notice that it only works when white people do it (ie. white person with dreadlocks is EVIL, black person in a kilt is a-ok (this type of hypocrisy goes hand in hand with the SJW-belief that "it's only racism if it's white on 'PoC'). Second, if you look at human history, we've been appropriating from each other since the Ancient times, that's why you have vases in Greece influenced by Egyptian style. The only to avoid this natural borrowing and sharing of cultures is to impose strict segregation.

Thank you for speaking your mind and giving me your opinion. I will take it into consideration as I try to think about my own opinions on the matter.

OMFG. Wrong.

"Cultural appropriation" is a term taken from anthropology. It is culturally-bound and it is not a judgmental term.

That is why motivations for cultural appropriation really do matter - is it done to disempower (dreadlocks as fashion vs. political statement, all of ancient Rome) or what?

There is no avoiding cultural appropriation but investigation of it keeps dominant cultures from extinguishing other cultures.

[misstwist]

Try searching the term "history of dreadlocks" - that would be an obvious place to start.

I admire your patience and stamina in this thread.
