if cultures are constantly shifting why are the same groups of people still politically and socially treated like shit? why do we still have marginalized groups? why do we still have systemic racism? you canât push an entire group of people out of their home then steal their culture for profit. this youtuber as an individual didnât kick any natives off their land, but as a white person itâs still his responsibility to not take someone elseâs culture and certainly not profit off of it (i believe some proceeds were being donated but iâm not positive if all)
âbut thatâs not fair that white people canât appreciate things from other culturesâ first off, you CAN appreciate. but using a piece of native american culture as your brand when you are white isnât appreciating, itâs appropriating. and no, white people canât do it. not in the current world we live in. id love to live in a place where we can all share cultures and ideas but there is no culture equality right now. thereâs no race equality. no ethnic equality. that is the problem. the problem isnât that white people are using native american culture, itâs that itâs being done without doing anything to make up for the past
