'Racism and Sexism Are on the Same Level As Cultural Appropriation’

Cultural appropriation, to many, means people with a privileged status taking cultural identity markers without permission or without acknowledgment from members of a minority community. This can include language, art, music, literature, clothing, food, beauty standards/traditions, social norms, customs, and values. So, does that mean that a Caucasian person can never own a Chinese restaurant? Can a Latino wear braids or locks? Should children never wear Halloween costumes that depict another culture, ethnicity or race? When does admiration turn into appropriation, and is the argument against appropriation just? Does the anti-appropriation movement ever turn into a form of racism? Meet a young woman who says she received death threats for wearing a dress from another culture, a woman who says she was called out for cosplaying a Japanese anime character, and a woman who says people need to stop stealing other cultures' foods and calling them their own. Dr. Neal Lester, foundation professor of English at Arizona State University, Brittany Collins, influencer and business owner, and Amala Ekpunobi, PragerU personality and host of the podcast Unapologetic LIVE, join Dr. Phil for a passionate debate.

This man in the suit is a professional victim

[@Osatol67CR7SUI]

Whoa whooa, I’m black and African and I do not agree with you sir. Appropriation is definitely not equivalent to racism. Nope, not the same. Leave folks alone to appreciate what ever they want to

[@kristenkidd3982]

Imagine having to explain to your child that you aren't "allowed" to have your hair like hers because she's different than mommy.

[@starlite369]

Thank God there are still sane people like Amala in this country

[@vickieself4762]

This is madness. If this day in age people want everyone to be okay with men claiming to be women and women claiming to be men, what difference does it make if Kim Kardashian wears her hair in corn rows. This is madness. We can't pacify everyone who's sensitive to getting their feelings hurt bc they want attention.

[@sarathomas8499]

Listening to the professor is melting my brain.

[@LeandroAntesio]

"Professor of English" so basically he is culturally appropriating Shakespeare and a million other writers

[@michaelvanburen6010]

since when does one race get to claim ownership on hair braids....

[@Spiderclawz]

That dude in the suit is appropriating European culture

[@robyndawn]

This is crazy

[@Robby_Rob]

I applaud the professor! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 This man has single handedly proven that even a born idiot can obtain a PHD. Anyone can overcome their disabilities! 🙏🏼

[@kayleeh8140]

The black lady has dyed her braids blondish red. As a white person i am very offended this is appropriation on the highest level.

[@djamburere]

As an African woman, I don't understand why the prof is wearing a suit and not a grand bubu. 😂😂😂

[@phantasm3207]

This man has inspired me to go get a PhD. If he can do it, anyone can!

[@douglasbarros5793]

Culture is to be shared. We're all the same species and we learn with each other. Looking up to another culture is not appropriation, it's appretiation. As long as there's no disrespect, culture can be enjoyed by all.

[@jeremyojeda6914]

“Mommy get the same hair as me”

[@rj.b8218]

He had to remind us that most professors are just as pseudo intellectual as the regular people and arent a valid source of information

[@1frutzke]

As a person of the female race I, too, get very offended, if I see other races wear dresses. It is so disrespectful towards my culture. Thank you, Professor Einstein. Very cool.

[@jasonsingleton4392]

Key word... "mocking". If your intentions aren't to belittle, or mock a culture, then it should be okay.
