She Says People Need To Give Credit Where Credit Is Due Regarding Cultural Foods

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.

In Uganda we have a side dish called kachumbali it’s basically chopped onion and tomato and we eat it with grilled meet. Some time I went to Mexican restaurant with best friend and we got a side of salsa and we were both shocked about how similar it is to Kachumbali. Because of this I believe it’s possible to have two types of food in two different cultures that are incredibly similar. So the whole food appropriation is just so weird

[@Frodojack]

The tomato originally came from South America and through trade it was brought to Mexico where it was domesticated. The Mexica (Aztecs) developed the small green tomatl (often called a tomatillo today) and the larger red jitomatl. Tomatl became tomate in Spanish, and the Spanish brought it to Europe, and from there to the rest of the world, including Uganda.

You want to teach people how to cook your food and teach them about your culture and watch them enjoy it. And if they make money on it then a happy person would feel happy for them and happy about how they inspired that. And why don’t they just profit from it instead of watching others profit from it then crying about it and demanding a handout. That’s what people with low self-worth do

Cultural appropriation is real! This is a real eye opener! I have been appropriating the Indian culture! I always cook my husband Indian dishes and make Indian tea for him(he's Indian btw) I told him I couldn't no longer cause..... I am appropriating his culture. He said,it's BS and what not. He is also upset about it. I can't appropriate anymore.

[@rigelb9025]

If your husband is Indian, and you're not, then you should also stop appropriating him. That falls under ''Matrimonial cultural appropriation by-law'', and is punishable by severe social stigma & racist remarks.
