I am a white guy, and "cultural appropriation" is one of many reasons I avoid talking to people my age anymore. It's really difficult to talk to a lot of young'uns. People have massive egos, and they jump to wild conclusions with no basis at all. I've been called a racist, a bigot, this, that, and the other thing. I am none of those things, I am a fair person to all. It just doesn't make sense that this crowd of hypersensitive college kids thinks they will solve anything by viciously hating everybody who is a white man. Hate hasn't solved anything, ever. It certainly won't solve whatever issues these poor young people are in the streets screaming about. God help them.

Am African and I'm amazed at how petty and silly such a pertinent issue is being made to seem. Who cares about why a Chinese dude thinks dreadlocks are cool? And how is that not even a celebration of black culture? Cultural appropriation as an argument, in my opinion, would be better used to shine a spotlight on the separation of a people from their culture in such a way as to possibly rob them of their identity. Like how the internet says that "the claim that Ancient Egypt - particularly the Old Kingdom - was black" is an anachronism. That as black people, we cannot claim Ancient Egyptian Civilization as whites claim Ancient Greek Civilization because the concepts of black and white are a modern-day construct. And personally I think that argument is STUPID. The white people who say that probably went to school and ought to know better!

Cowboy culture as we know in the US came from Mexico and before then it came from Spain. I always find it weird that people in the US think it came straight from Europe.

'Culture' is literally the things that an ethnic group make available for other ethnicities to consume. Within a culture's own existence these things are called tradition, not culture. Culture exists to be appropriated, or more commonly, shared with others to shine a light on the best practices arising from other ethnic or geographic groups/locations. And Jeremy Lin is an example of what happens when you pay a little attention in college, instead of just enjoying the free ride like K-Mart apparently did.

[@marcuscollins7622]

That is such a good point. It is afterall how the whole trade system works, trading of cultural goods between societies. I had thought that 'cultural appropriation' was about claiming an idea was your own, not giving the recognition to the original culture, not just using a product or cooking a type of food, ect.

[@adamrasmussen9939]

@@marcuscollins7622 Yes, exactly. If I tried to resell a dreamcatcher I bought from a Native American reserve as my own 'original Danish folk art', I would absolutely see that as appropriating someone else's culture.

Honestly people take cultural appropriation to the extreme, And that’s when it becomes so damn stupid and ridiculous as shit fr. If you’re wearing sacred items that are not to be worn as costumes, taking a different culture and making it your own, using that certain culture to make fun of it, making racist remarks about it, claiming that culture would “look better” if you make changes to it, exploiting the culture, or benefiting off of it without knowing the some of the struggles behind certain cultures, THEN it’s cultural appropriation. The whole damn world is a melting pot of different cultures. There is not one culture in The entire human race that does not practice or use different cultures when it comes to their different lives. The music, the clothing, the food, the movies, the TV shows, the arts, whatever, it’s all a mix of different cultures. I’m Hispanic/ Mexican with some Indigenous blood, and I love it when people show admiration and love for Mexican culture as long as they’re not disrespecting it or being racist towards it, this whole cultural appropriating is going way too far and it’s starting to become racist. Also, a lot of the claims of cultural appropriation are not even coming from the people that you use the culture from, it’s coming from supreme white liberals who are taking it way too far. To the liberals who act like that: YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE CULTURE. Just stfu and quit acting like you are the supreme authorities on what is cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation. Just please shut up. People like that are the ones who divide people. Culture is what brings people together, and when we share different cultures and show appreciation and love for them, we make this world including our nations even more beautiful. For me I love Japanese culture, I deeply admire and appreciate it for the art, history, and way of life. What got me into Japanese culture as a kid What is the love for the samurai class. Hell my dad made me a whole samurai armor because I was obsessed with samurai warriors as a kid. Are liberals going to claim that I was culturally appropriating Japanese culture because I wanted to dress like a samurai, simply for admiring them, appreciating them and loving them? Ridiculous as hell. At this point cultural appropriation is just stupid, knock it off and quit making it into something that it is not. Unless there is blasphemy, racism, and disrespect, then it’s not cultural appropriation. If you worried that you’re culturally appropriating something, look into the culture and learn about it, the dues and don’ts of what you’re supposed to do, and how you can show respect and appreciation. SIMPLE!

The celebration would lose its power, history, and soul really fast. The reason it is so honored and revered is because it has been held within a culture and a belief system that is unique to Mexico. I think it would get watered down and the meaning would be lost. From my experience as an outsider, it seems to be rooted in having strong ties to family, ancestors, Catholicism, and death all of which are mostly absent in life from my perspective, as a white woman in the USA.

[@BillyFrost1865]

@@karateninjaheist8032 i guess you could be right from that perspective. Yeah, i can see how in some ways it can lose its importance and meaning but only if you dont celebrate it in the appropriate way.

I am 100% percent with Rogan. People should not be limited on what they should wear, especially in a country like the United States, where the exchange of cultural ideas is inevitable. My father, when he was a 16 year old political prisoner in Cuba at La Cabaña, would always see people getting sent to UMAP concentration camps for having long hair and wearing distinct clothing, be it religious attire or for being part of the general counterculture. My family, as well as many other immigrant families, sure as hell did not come to America in order to face other groups of people who wish to dictate forms of expressions after the hell we've faced in our home countries... That being said, it is extremely important to give credit to the origins of where certain apparel and aesthetic practices come from, as well as preventing exploitative behaviors that stem from ignorance- but that lies in education, not harassing people who are genuinely interested in participating in other cultures.

I am in my late 60s and taking a fiction writing class at a local community, and I never heard this term before. Because I'm into Asian things, I often place some of my characters in places I've been to in Asia. So, one kid in my class says, "We have to consider 'cultural appropriation'." So, I asked what that was. When he "explained" it, I literally flipped out! Really! I'm tiny - only 4'9" (technically a midget - not a dwarf). And I'm old and short and female. I couldn't stand it, and I leaped from my chair and jumped into the middle of the room and shouted, "That's the most stupid thing I have ever heard! So, you mean, I can only write about old white women?" (I forgot to mention the midget part.) Then I ranted "And don't you DARE put an old person into your stories because you have NO clue what it's like to be old." And I had handed out a couple of my papers that I had set in China, and literally grabbed them back from two "Asian -half" girls, and said, "I'll take these back! I wrote about China! Of course, it's not a real story, because it's a FICTION class, but I'll take them back!" And I grabbed them and kept ranting, and I think this week I might be deleted from the class... But I thought it was the stupidest thing I ever heard. I couldn't believe it. So, now no one can write anything unless it is about YOU. I was so angry. Not to mention I was raised back east (I'm in California now), and it was totally multi-cultural where I came from. If you were in Italian neighborhood, you knew not to futz with the Mafia, you went and had some good Italian food, or got a great apartment because it was a nice neighborhood. I mean the Poles (Polish), the Irish, the Blacks, the Jews, a whole slew of different cultures easily lived side-by-side and it was great! But now??? Man, this is BS. I cannot believe people are doing this. And you're right - it's not even THEIR culture! What is this about?

[@ianlg18]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! i'm f'ing mixed and i get called racist for saying the same thing

[@mau3020]

Well, if you don't want cultural appropriation; stop using math, don't learn how to read, stop using clothes, don't use money, don't travel, don't use buildings or build stuff.

[@mau3020]

and stop participating in societies or democracy because that's greek.

[@hellno6617]

There’s going to come a day when people are going to call it “cultural appropriation “ if you make fun of your own culture, and those people getting offended will be Americans, like always

[@rickdruidaa]

I do not see it as an insult. It is an honor that you love some part of my culture so much, that you try to emulate it.

[@karlheaton8276]

Well said Joe.

Culture is about sharing. End

bro I had some bad views of Joe Rogan but this is really reciting my thoughts and developing on it this is fantastic

[@scotlee1019]

Joe hit the nail on the fucking head with this BS👍

[@ClickClack_Bam]

He did but next week he'll have a black liberal guest where he'll have a blaccent, agree with the typical liberal garbage and so on.

[@wilabanodeniro9780]

Imagine telling a black person they can’t wear certain clothes , or have to have their hair a certain way because they’re not white.

[@dopedrums]

Why is it not cultural appropriation when a black man wears a suit? I mean, shouldn't he be dressed in the loudest of African clothing? You know the outfits I'm talking about. The list can go on forever. It's just all effin' silly.

I'm so happy Joe Rogan exists ☺

Where’s that Chinese girl who complained about the prom dress now? I’m not seeing the same outrage over all of these white corona virus patients 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@god5535]

Love it when Joe goes gung-ho straight for the jugular in these sort of rants. People usually have a negative connotation associated with the term 'rant' but when done correctly it really expresses one's core, authentic, unfiltered raw beauty.

[@devbellman4995]

i love this. just subscribed. the entire point of a melding pot was to blend cultures not segregate ourselves wirhin our own culture. that's not progressive

[@cathybelanger3354]

I watched a doc on the Rolling Stones and Howling Wolf was on it. He said he loved the stones for singing his songs to the world. They made him relevant to a whole new generation and different audiences. Cultural appropriation is a problem when idiots do not understand what it is.

[@zacknuyens2875]

Good point Joe Rogan.

[@FernandoGarcia-rl6gj]

& joe you're right, that is the point of a civilization for all of us to come together and share our cultural luxuries. Food music etc. But with how the media is all that's ever promoted really is seperation amongst the people through divide and conquer

[@nrrork]

They like to use The Nightmare Before Christmas as an example of what cultural appropriation does. But I just think: What you get is unique film that combines the best aspects of both holidays and creates something greater than the sum of its parts. An instant classic that's annually watched by millions to this day. They just disagree on when to watch it: Halloween or Christmas. I think I'll split the difference this year and make it a Thanksgiving double feature with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

[@LukeT84]

The new studio is a slight disappointment. Mix it up a bit Joe.

[@johnnysins8661]

Luke T it's no where near finished he just moved in

[@TheShuffleBot1200]

It's his studio, and yes, I thought that it was going to be different from the old one but he didn't create it for other people to like it. He created based on his liking and his interests.

I am sure ,just had a "shock" about this shit as i ve started to use twitter and saw that pokimane was called out by a random person the call out didn t recieve traction or whatever but the person called her out that she was doing cultural appropriation because she had curly hair. So because she had curly hair she was trying to look black. WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD???? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? I... i am speechless. I am actually almost at a loss of words right now. When did curly hair and other stuff become a thing only for some people? What... what.... dafuq. Isn t the idea that we are all mixed??? More and more we start to marry and date different cultures... we become one more and more. All racism is gone and everything and now we also share cultures as we all bond... its insanity i literally can t arrange thoughts in my head. I guess i just had a shock from twitter lmao 🤣🤣🤣 as a noob on twitter i actually got shocked

[@lemondewdrops470]

Honestly I don't think alot of people are understanding the meaning of cultural appropriation. First off the definition of appropriation is when the majorities taking from the cultures or possessions of minorities without any knowledge or understanding of the meaning behind it and make it their own. So when white people wear the styles of other minorities without knowledge of what it means is cultural appropriation. Most of the people assume that it's a racist thing but it's not really that its just we need to learn and respect cultures of all kinds. I don't want to say anything bad towards anyone who believes otherwise because that's not what I'm all about. I'm an indigenous tribe member called the Penobscots. I love being native it's taught me so much about who I am. I think if we have more knowledge and less fighting we can call it cultural appreciation.

[@5688gamble]

You can't very well learn everything about every culture, you may not even know that you are appropriating another culture. You could just like the way something looks or tastes, that shouldn't mean you need to research where it originated and learn about the culture, you can if you want, that would be great, but it's not a requirement.

[@sneakerjuice1856]

Cultural appropriation is a term made by the Karen's of woke culture.

Black tiktoker creates dance. White tiktoker makes millions off of it... We live in the age of pluralism. I'm black but enjoy heavy metal and alternative rock more than rap. I tried to get through to my little niece that she can take interests in other people's cultures and still maintain her own identity as a young black child (pluralism.) I have no problem with white people taking interests in black culture; it's Martin Luther King's dream, but don't dance like us, walk like us, talk like us and then try to suppress our vote or tell us to stop being victims when we voice our concern about inequity and injustice.

[@zBPS]

“Suppress our vote” how so?

[@braveheart977]

Exactly. Cultural Appreciation. Critisizing is insane and racist. Too much hate in this world.

[@Rashel.J]

I think part of why it’s such a big deal is because people are not really appreciating the origins or understanding the backgrounds of how something came to be. And more so wearing aspects of other cultures like a costume. Especially when it comes to aspects/ characteristics that are synonymous with oppression in the originating culture and glorified by others for clout and/or are used to sell products.

[@Truth-lx8pm]

A Somali, we love it when people appreciate culture, and even cook somali food, seriously people Somal8 food is one of the best foods you will eat , try it. Anyway, nothing wrong with sharing our differences makes the world a better place.

No he’s right... everybody does it.. and we as black people should be the last to say anything... we have other people’s hair in our head... seriously 😒 cummon

[@Contessa_Savannah]

@@chrisdavis2550 see... This is where people have to differentiate culture and genetics. It's not about wearing a type of hair as opposed to what you do with it. So yes somebody could wear someone elses hair but how it is styled is what brings further insight to that culture. Culture is created.

What I think is hypocritical is that leftists argue that gender is a social construct, not a biological trait, and therefore anyone can be any gender they want. However culture is also a social construct, yet cannot be used or "appropriated" by others. The fact that a man can wear a dress and call himself a female, yet isn't allowed to wear a sombrero just to celebrate a culture, absolutely baffles me.

[@LoveYourself-my9nz]

It's the west left. In my country it is literally considered narrow minded, a very conservative idea of not sharing something of your culture with the person who might not be from it. It's my culture, my tradition we own it, i will tell who can or can't become part of it is so regressive/ conservative mindset.
