As a redheaded Scandinavian, I am offended by your suggestion that red hair is an exclusively Irish trait. However, I'm far more offended by the guy who held up Bojangles as superior to Popeyes.

Did this ditch pig suggest that she should stop using things that were culturally appropriated from others? No aluminum anything. No plastics. No cars. No electronics.
She is going to have a sad existence once she uses only things developed by her culture.

There is a Utah transplant to New Orleans, who moved here about 15-20 years ago, who has made a minor name for himself singing like a black New Orleans R&B rock singer from the 1950s/'60s in a band that plays regularly downtown and the 9th Ward plus high-profile festivals. He recently engaged in a well-publicized Internet flame war (complete with threats of violence and lawsuits) against the Johnny-come-lately Krewe of Chewbaccus for its audacity in holding a "second-line" parade tribute for Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia). When called out for the fact that he is a white guy from Utah sanctimoniously proclaiming what is and isn't traditional New Orleans culture, he responded -- in a bid to defend himself as a keeper of the cultural flame -- among other things that he is a member of a Mardi Gras Indian gang, fully accepted by them. He has failed to note the irony and his own hypocrisy. In New Orleans, the culturally appropriating hipster transplants who got off the boat here in the 1990s are now in the business of shreiking loud cries of cultural appropriation in holier-than-thou fashion against the newer cultural appropriators to boost their own "authencity" bonafides as they see their precious turf and enclaves encroached and overrun by the new wave of Brooklynites, Clevelandnites, Portlandites, and assorted and sundry equally damnable Yanks --

So because some extremely far left people voice an over the top, dumbass opinion. I can go to voat it 4chan, and pull some extremely far right opinions, if you'd like.
I'm a white guy who's drummed with a couple different Mardi Gras Indian tribes in New Orleans. I've played Jazz Fest and Super Sunday twice, and drummed on St Joseph's Night with the Wild Tchoupitoulas. I've never been accused of cultural appropriation, even when I was the only white guy around. It's been pretty much only been dancing and people giving me beers.

By usually retort to the cultural appropriation nonsense is that if we're going down that road then only whites get to vote since democracies and republics derived from Europeans; thus, any other ethnicity attempting to participate would be appropriating European culture.
That usually shuts them up.

People get mad about everything in 2017, it's fricking incredible. If a dude likes funk, let that dude play funk. It's one of the truly American forms at that. If it was made in America, it's American Culture.
What about Eminem? Miles Davis? Macklemore? A million other examples?

Yes, because African Americans invented elbow pasta and cheese.

Well, shite, the Venetians appropriated the noodle from China, so who appropriated macaroni from the Italians? Gimme a freaking break.
This shite is so over the top, part of me wants to scream, and part says try to ignore the living hell out it all.

Yep, the stupids get downright angry over it.
They don't understand that in America cultures mix. People move here knowing that its the most diverse country in the world. You no longer have sole ownership of your culture. You have to share it with all of America.

Hell yeah! Pappadeauxs owes me some reparations and an apology!

One would think that imitation is flattery, but I guess people would rather have their culture die out rather than spread.

Gold hoop earings are racist..

Hoop earrings are racist. That's what a group of students at Pitzer College in Los Angeles, Calif., say. Describing itself as comprised of "women of color," the group wrote on a wall devoted to free speech: "White Girl, take off your hoops." The group says "black and brown folks" are exploited by the cultural appropriation when white women wear hoop earrings.

Anything...ever...made off an assembly line and used by someone not white is "culturally appropriating" that product.
This concept is entirely nonsensical and created by small minded dullards.
