@@P.Mon432 nobody's wearing you like a costume..... such bs. Everywhere in the world, people are influenced by and have admired other people's nationalities, cultures and styles. Ever since the beginning of time, explorers who travelled to other lands and countries brought back with them some of the traditions, fashions, foods, lifestyles etc. Especially in America, the great melting pot, where everyone's culture at some point rubs off on everyone else. Americans are also heavily influenced by pop culture and celebrities, celebrities whose beauty is idoloizedand made to be the societal standard whether they are black or white, and the public wants to dress, act and be like them. So save it with the SJW BS . Culture, traditions, fashions of every nationality have been shared, copied, borrowed and admired over time since the dawn of time. The eyeliner women everywhere today wear was borrowed from Egyptian Queen Cleopatra - if you're not Egyptian, will you continue wearing eyeliner? Corsets and braziers were borrowed from the French - should women who are not of French lineage stop wearing bras and lingerie? Italian explorer Marco Polo brought back pasta from China - should we, who arent Chinese, stop eating spaghetti? Should we stop eating Chinese food? Should non-Italians stop eating pizza? In Ancient Greece, curly hair was the epitome of beauty, so much so, that wigs were made popular in 17th century Europe by King Louis XIV of France, where everyone all went absolutely mad for wigs that gave them big, dramatically voluminous hair. Modern bathrobes are derived from Japanese kimonos - should non-Japanese stop wearing them? The examples go on and on. Where is the line drawn? The exchange of ideas, styles, and traditions is one of the tenets and joys of a modern, multicultural society. Throughout human history, when groups have come together, they have imitated each other. Typically, this is seen as progressive. Of course "culture appropriation" can be negative, if it's done mockingly. But the way you describe it seems likes it being done out of admiration. Most people consider imitation a form of flattery. It's virtually impossible for different groups to live together and yet primly refrain from imitating what’s good or interesting about one another. Shared commonality and adoration is what brings about unity. It was the shared enjoyment, between blacks & whites, of rhythm & blues music that helped to end segregation, as black & whites congregated together at these venues. Also, last time I checked, blacks didn't have big asses and full lips on lock. I've seen plenty of white ladies with naturally big asses and full lips and plenty of black women with pancake asses and thin lips. It all comes down to genetics, body type and where on the body fat accumulates.

i am so glad to hear this perspective - its been hard for me because i am a minority of sorts but for me feminism is a harder driving force, for me personally - i understand the need to be separated in the sense that there are separate needs but unity is important too - we can share in our similarities and learn from our differences

This teacher never read Kimberle Crenshaw, did he. She's so iconic, she invented the idea of intersectionality which was initially created around the idea that black women are intersectionally oppressed in ways that black men and white women aren't. Shes so so good.
