Off The Record: Why Can't We Use These Terms Anymore...?

[@EASTCOASTNATURE]

The problem nowadays is just as Joe explained it: This new generation is so caught up in cancel-culture that they don't grasp the entire history of the issues they are supposedly "trying" to resolve. Instead of making any progress, they are essentially spinning their tires and leaving skid-marks expecting a shiny gold star for contributing to cancel-culture.

[@Vincisomething]

I saw a dumb discourse about how the term pansexual is transphobic. The older (millennials and older) ones in the lgbt space were like dafuk. Doesn't mean millennials didn't have dumbass takes either. I remember seeing a post several years ago where someone said learning ASL is cultural appropriation lmao.

[@EASTCOASTNATURE]

@@Vincisomething yeah, i agree. This cancel-culture was not created by this new generation, but rather amplified to an unecessary degree

[@appreciationne]

As a gen Z, this is why I love watching JK. They're "aware" instead of being annoyingly "woke". They have respect for different social groups but still aren't afraid of cracking jokes here and there, even if it's dark. Because everyone knows they're only joking. I love watching people who don't have to continuously give disclaimers because they're afraid of getting cancelled. Ily JK!

I never really thought about how cultural sensitivity could impact small businesses in immigrant communities like that. They have a good point. So many people are hesitant to buy little trinkets and stuff which were once really popular items to sell to tourists

Reminds me of Jeremy Lin where he had dreds and Rasheed Wallace told him it was cultural appropriation, Jeremy Lin called him out on his Chinese tattoo

I'll speak as a black person I think the thing most people don't get about cultural appropriation is that 1)some parts of other people's cultures are purely sacred and if you are not a part of that culture it is the highest disrespect to engage in it. 2) some people love engaging in other people's culture while disrespecting and hitting the people whose cultures they participate in. 3) a lot of people fetishize other people's culture. Personally for me if you're engaging in a culture that is not your own and you are not doing any of the three I don't have a problem with it go ahead have fun.

[@Battouga]

Of course you can't just pretend to be a buddhist monk all of a sudden but I'll say enjoy any culture you want. One of the coolest things I've seen is the Maori haka and I'm Scandinavian. If I try to learn it am I appreciating or appropriating? Some people can't differentiate cultural appropriation from cultural appreciation.

[@manchuriancandidatethe3rd101]

The guy who was playing the dude disguised as another dude gets a pass and could play Ironman and War Machine in one movie. Do you have a problem with that? Nate Diaz and Mike Perry gets the N-word pass too from black people.

[@Anthropomorphic]

In a lot of cases, the words that are currently considered to be impolite actually used to be the polite, preferred terms. For those who don't like the current set of polite terms, there's a solution that you yourself can put into practice today: start using the polite terms the way you'd normally use the impolite terms.

The economic argument about cultural appropriation is even more ridiculous. Like Joe said, culture has value because people give it value, they buy he “merch” because they see value in it, same goes for hip-hop, etc.

[@tinabeee7350]

Joe makes some really good points. This was an interesting conversation.

In Cantonese “ni go” means “this”. I work in a Cuban Chinese restaurant and I’ve been asked why I said the N-word and I just explain have to explain it’s meaning in my own language. It’s hard to say, “this” order is for “this” person and getting misunderstood. But I notice no one asked me about it’s meaning for a long time because cultural diversity and understanding. Back in 2005 almost got into a fight just because I said “this order is for “this”person. 😅

The people crying out Culture Vulture probably eat Asian, Mexican, Indian food, etc. They probably watch anime,Korean dramas,Mexican novelas, etc They probably like spaghetti and meatballs or pizza. If we could not share our culture to anyone else, we would not have access to any of these amazing foods or shows! Next time you want to claim culture appropriation, when it’s not right to do so, think of all the great things we have obtained because other cultures decided to appreciate yours.

[@bethnichols2875]

This reminds me of something David So said on an episode of send foodz. They were eating fried chicken and David remarked that a lot of the stereotypes about Black people liking fried chicken and watermelon applies to Koreans as well. Since Koreans also make amazing fried chicken and like eating watermelon. And very true about the different foods, etc. you mentioned.

[@Jiminie53421]

Actual cultural appropriation is wrong, like white people “discovering” something that minorities have been using for thousands of years and acting like they just invented it, but I feel like now, 99% of things that people are labeling as cultural appropriation is not cultural appropriation at all. And there’s also like those really extreme people who are shame you for not being ___ enough. I’ve seen a few TikToks of Chinese Americans, for example, speaking Chinese and people are bashing their pronunciation and it’s like??? Are we gatekeeping Chinese Americans from speaking Chinese? How are we supposed to get better if we can’t practice?

@@LaddRusso91 When people say Eminem invented his syllable rhyming style and disregard the factual evidence that Rakim influenced Em's style

[@tansiian]

I'd like to flip Joe's Intention & Context on it's head. The overarching context for most people nowadays, is that you can Google "is this offensive?" in the same amount of time to say it. Additionally, enough people have made honest mistakes that you can learn how to graciously apologize for using an offensive term. If you deem it unworthy of the aforementioned effort, then you likely meant to cause offense anyway. It's not hard to not be a dick, but it still takes effort.

Its so strange beacuse where i went to university there were so many asian grocery shops that had the word oriental in the name beacuse it wasnt seen as a bad word, the term asian was more used for India and south asia but i over heard an american student complaining about it

[@devynjames2321]

The way I understand it is that “oriental” itself is not a bad word when it is used to describe things such as shops or rugs and whatever else. But to use it to describe people is frowned upon. People should be referred to as “Asians” not “oriental.”

[@SpicySiopao]

Only Americanized asians think Oriental is a bad word. I'm asian and it still have the connotation of "Prestige".

Hermaphrodite is a misnomer about intersex. Also oriental is used to describe things not people which is partly why we don't call people that lol. But I think if it's Asians naming something for themselves, they can use oriental.

Love the conversation but what’s being failed to mention is that unfortunately time and time again we in the black community keep getting things/ideas stolen. And tiktok has show in real time how easily pushed to the side black creators are.

You guys are missing major points. It’s not just blacks don’t want Asians to do hip hop, it’s the fact that when blacks enter Asian countries they’re treated like shit. It’s the fact that the being gay in many/most counties is a death sentence. You cannot take the context of the community out. That’s why communities get upset. Taking the rhythm but not the blues. Which is why getting upset that people are upset is not helpful.
