more whining about cultural appropriation

The cultural segregationists are at it again, making people feel unearned guilt for (gasp...........omg...........noooooooooo) using fashions that originated from people of different ethnicities!


First, let's look at this screenshot of a facebook post  from earlier this month!








You see my comments: This is how to talk to cultural segregationist punks who complain about cultural appropriation!

People like Amandla Stenberg like to silence people with racial guilt, whining about "how dare white people take styles from African-descendants" as if jazz didn't use European instruments, and as if hip-hop producers weren't using German EDM pioneers Kraftwerk as a MAJOR inspiration! 



Amandla Stenberg and people like her like to call Kylie Jenner and her Kardashian relatives "white"?  Those people are part-Armenian! 

Armenia is in the Middle East!

If the Kardashians weren't famous, they would've been easy targets for profiling by federal security agents! 

And if you want to talk about oppression, let's talk about the Turkish genocide against the Armenians that happened a century ago!

Let's talk about the "lucky" Armenians who were lucky to escape to Europe and North American, some of them the ancestors of  celebrities like


  • college basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian
  • heavy metal band System of a Down
  • and of course, the reality TV stars, the Kardashians

And let's also talk about that even after Turkish massacre of the Armenians ended, Russia took over Armenia, who only gained their independence when the Soviet Union dissolved!

You see, people like Amandla Stenberg act as if the only important oppression in history was the European enslavement of her African ancestors! 

Amandla Stenberg doesn't understand that her pain and trauma doesn't exempt her from assertive criticisms when she says stupid, racist stuff! 

Stenberg also needs to remember that hip-hop stars used so-called "cultural appropriations" like

  • use of lowriders in 90s-era gangsta rap videos
  • expressing love for Spanish Harlem girls (like Puffy's "Senorita" and Wyclef produced "Maria Maria")
  • DJ Quik's sampling of an Indian song he used for Truth Hurts & Rakim's "Addiction"
  • Jay-Z's sampling Punjabi music
  • Wu Tang Clan's name and their constant reference to Chinese culture
  • 2pac & Snoop Dogg dressing like Italian mobsters
  • and much much more


I LOVED those "cultural appropriations". We need MORE cultural appropriations.

Keep those cornrows Kylie Jenner!

Another facebook post of mine







If you want to protest against "cultural appropriation", we should start by denouncing North American acitivists who think their Asian ancestry makes them proper spokespeople for people who are ACTUALLY FROM Japan! 


And who is one of those activists? Amber Ying ------

uh, since when is Ying a Japanese last name?
It's not, yet, a person of Chinese ancestry thinks she can speak for people FROM Japan?

Let's hear it from a REAL Japanese person



(note: sorry for the different sized screenshots, both are from the same facebook post)


Thank you Nako Kobayashi!

As for Amber Ying, she is Cultural Appropriator, and a SEVERE HYPOCRITE!

So yeah, let's continue to integrate cultures!

Don't let anyone shame you for using or doing things from other cultures!

Make aggressive criticisms against cultural segregationists!

WORLDWIDE CULTURAL INTEGRATION FOREVER!
