How The Modern Middle East is Reappropriating Street Culture

[@andwander1206]

Dubai's real culture is money and the appearance of wealth at the expense of human rights. Check out how they treat workers that come from other countries.

+Steve Valeriano It's disheartening to see hip hip culture appropriated by the elites of Dubai where all they worship is materialism while humanitarianism is ignored.

+Steve Valeriano but not everyone there is like that! just because they were born there.

+Steve Valeriano seriously why do u have to bring this topic here?

[@andwander1206]

+S xo simple really. It's a more pressing issue than partying and sneakers. The more awareness the better. Especially to those who just see the glitz and excess of the city. Hopefully Bobbito, DMC, and Mobb Deep and future celebrities don't support these extravagances at the expense of human right violations.

the title doesn't even go with the video tbh

[@jasondownsnet]

Cultural appropriation is a ridiculous concept. All high art starts out as low art. All things start as a sub cultural and spreads to the masses. Ideas blend, old ideas become new ideas.

[@undersilentwigs]

[@CelloMachachillo]

Meanwhile, in North America, so called Filipino "Sneakerheads" actually work in shitty cleaning jobs, live in poor neighbourhoods, and spend all their money on sneakers. 😂 Their wealthier Asian counterparts (Chinese/Koreans) laugh at their priorities. 😂😂😂😂

+mj ignacio lmao why are u so sure it's from the philippines

[@brendenwhiteley3847]

+CelloMachachillo but yall are fucking ugly and phillipinas are bomb so who is really winning

[@CelloMachachillo]

+brenden whiteley Considering the youth in the Philippines are now obsessed with trying to look like Korean Kpop idols, using skin whitening products, trying to reduce nostril sizes, and do their hair/makeup like them, I'd think they aren't content.😂 (source: I visit Manila regularly, and you should too.)

[@brendenwhiteley3847]

CelloMachachillo lmao all asian countries are using skin whitening cream quit lying to yourself
