In all seriousness, can someone explain why the sharing and learning of one's and other cultures is a bad thing?

Just another tactic to keep the plebes divided and infighting.

Welcome to the melting pot. Now stop fucking assimilating into the American culture and segregate yourself.

Because certain cultures are sensitive at only recently discovering peanut butter.

mostly because in a lot of cultures there is a huge part of "sacred", which is an abstract concept for us westerners.

Because when the left demands multiculturalism, it really means it wants American & Western culture be subordinated to all other cultures.

Appropriation is bad. Appreciation is not.

I guess we better quit using numbers. Because our current form was created by Arabs. No more paper either, that's Chinese...

I don't know OP, I shall contemplate it whilst I eat the delicious curry I just ordered.

Think maybe they're talking about drunks dressing up like natives or something with no respect for what they're emulating.

That doesn't really fit the term "cultural appropriation", that's more "racist parody"
GinoGualtieri
It's all in good fun though
HopfAlgebraJester
No problem there either.

It is not a bad thing. Only racists think this.

Wait, this comment is downvoted? Now I'm really confused??

People are small minded. They vote emotionally. Here, read this: http://www.boredpanda.com/japanese-tea-party-tumblr-answer-ginzers/

Racists down-vote. It's what they do.

It's not about stopping sharing and learning. It's about stopping people benefitting from or mocking a culture without acknowledgement

What is "it"?

""it""

appropriation versus appreciation ? Maybe?
ProfaneSanction
Appreciation is a specific response, some people are unaware that they are picking up the behaviors from a different culture.
pitchickadee
Yea, so doing it knowingly is a good thing. Because you can appreciate them
ProfaneSanction
You're not wrong.

Think about Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack going to Christmastown and enjoying it = okay. Jack taking Christmas away from Christmastown
gamblingpoet
and changing it to how he thinks Christmas should be = not okay. You want to join the fun of different cultures? Perfectly acceptable, you

Oh my god that's such a oerfect way of explaining it
gamblingpoet
will find many ethnic groups are incredibly hospitable. You want to take their culture and change it to your image? That's an issue. It is
gamblingpoet
a little more complex, but it is a simple analogy. Join the culture, don't take it and change it to fit your needs. Food is an exception.
gamblingpoet
There are many great chefs that cook ethnic foods, but they do it with a lot of respect for the culture.

Bullshit. I'm not taking anything away from anyone by wearing dreadlocks as a white person
