Re: Appropriation

[(Anonymous)]

Sometimes. What a lot of people are ignoring here is that there *are* cases where, with the Native Americans at least, they're making money off those logos/what have you. So some of the cases you're pointing aren't going to be appropriation 100% of the time [as much as it would make it easier to call it out when it does happen.

As for what it is...It's basically taking things from another culture with no regard for the cultural/spiritual attachment to that aspect/thing and using it - usually in a way that is derogatory.

So, for example, looking at another culture and saying 'Hey, that spoon idea is pretty awesome! Maybe we should try!' probably wouldn't fall into that category, where as 'Hey, that totem idea seems pretty nifty! I wonder if I make money off how to find your's!' since it ignores the beliefs attached to it.

There are also some parts that seem to vary depending on who you talk to as to if it's lumped in there or not. For example, using a caricature of a culture as a logo *might* be seen that way - but it could also be considered something else [usually racism of a sort].

Sure, but as a general rule that doesn't really apply to the classroom environment. Yes, I realize there are situations where it can and does, but I am speaking in terms of majority here. Learning and teaching about culture and history is generally not thought of as appropriation.

Actually that is now considered a bad thing, under the appropriation' umbrella of thought. However that only apples to white north americans.

I swear the world is going crazy. :/
