as a general rule. if what we’re calling ‘cultural appropriation’ sounds like nazi ideology (i.e. ‘white people should only do white people things and black people should only do black people things’) with progressive language, we are performing a very very poor application of what ‘cultural appropriation’ means. this is troublingly popular in the blogosphere right now and i think we all need to be more critical of what it is we may be saying or implying, even unintentionally.

There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each other’s cultures so long as those cultures have been shared.

Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures. The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually.

If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you don’t know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can just…ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (It’s the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means “this is a Jewish household.”)

“Oh, cool,” I said. “Can I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?”

“You can touch it or you can not touch it,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Cool, I’m gonna touch it, then.”

“Cool.”

It’s not hard.

You want to twerk, twerk. I’ve never heard a black person say they didn’t think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.

Thank you, I was trying to sort this out in my head but you explained it very well.

#free exchange of culture is great - taking that culture without invite and pretending yours is an original take#(worse still profiting off it)#is cultural appropriation (by @gnimaerd)

If cows go “moo”, and cats go “meow”, and ducks go “quack”, and dogs go “woof”, what is the designated sound that humans make?

I had a dream that unless the teacher told us class was over, we were forbidden from going out the door. Our teacher was very forgetful, and maybe even malicious. After being forced to stay past sunset many days, my class decided we were going to break out every night. Eventually our attempts led us to discovering rifts in space-time where we could warp. So we never used the door. Checkmate.

what? you going to critique my dreams? my subconscious creations, that I did by accident, while asleep? the chemicals in my brain? are you going to use your foul eyes and dissect all of the plotholes in my dreams? you going to critique the weather? harass the clouds? make fun of thunder for being off key? remind me to come to your house and shred your shoes

That response is fucking Shakespearean.

A Note on Slytherins

Slytherins are not just focused on themselves. Slytherins are focused on doing what they can for themselves and the people they care about.

A Slytherin cares about those closest to them far more than he/she cares about people as a whole. This does not mean that a Slytherin can’t care about humanity as a whole (for example, a Slytherin can still be concerned for the impoverished in another country), but it does mean that the Slytherin will put his/her friends/family’s needs above the needs of those they do not know.

This means, for instance, that, while a Slytherin might run into a burning building to rescue a close companion, he/she would not allow that friend to run in to rescue a stranger, nor would they be too likely to do it themselves.

A Slytherin believes that the ones they care for deserve more protection from them than the rest of the world. A Slytherin is inherently not evil- they don’t necessarily believe that the rest of humanity should burn- but this self/close friend preservation could be why many Slytherins are perceived as evil.

If a Slytherin does not have friends or family to hold on to, they have only themselves to care for/about.
