Olivia explains that in her culture, “it has been traditionally expected that married women wear bangles,” and that although that tradition is no longer “imposed upon women,” they do “wear them for religious or festive occasions.”
“In pop culture, you have probably seen the likes of Iggy Azalea and Selena Gomez wear them for music videos and performances,” Olivia writes. And that, she continues, is not okay.
In fact, according to Olivia, there is only one very specific situation in which a non-South Asian person such as a yucky whitey can wear this type of bracelet: “If you are in attendance of a Hindu friend’s matrimonial functions and the dress code is Indian ethnic — but [yes, there’s more!] be sure to check with your host first.”

Why hate Crack for his truth?
I have a thousand reasons, but the only one that mattered (to me) was unbeauty.
Everything everyway of every possible universe, Freddie Mercury influences and Crack can't.
Because beauty.
Shut up.
I meant to say "hello" but that other thing came out.
I was just now singing this song with those word in it, the dude pleads by changing key and tone for having erred some way without being specific about exactly what he said that's so wrong and why a dear friend is hearing him talk in his sleep. The circumstances leave questions. What were they doing? The friend must be female. A full measure of four beats to say the single words, "sometimes." It's a very cool song. C'mon, let's sing it.
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
An honest mistake
Sometimes
I forget I'm still awake
I fuck up and say these things out loud
My old friend...
I swear I never meant for this
I never meant...
Don't look at me that way
It was an honest mistake
Let's sit and share this sandwich together and discuss this matter of your appropriating clothes stitched together with a sewing machine instead of your native hand-made clothing sewn with hand spun thread and bone needle.
And your shoes are pure Western. Also your hair and nail products. Turns out we like each other a lot less well when we both go full on native. I think I can overlook all your foibles.

If you really want to live by this bullshit, then if you're not a WASP, stop appropriating The Magna Carta, and Common Law, and The Bill of Rights, and..... English, so in other words, shut up.
Speaking of cultural aesthetics, what's up with those flaps of extra material on the outside legs of them fancy horse ridin' britches? Do they serve any purpose? I can't say that they're sexy in any way, so that's out. I don't get it.
The odds that we get a "cultured meat" post from Trooper tomorrow are currently running at 7-5. There will be at least one photo of Lauren Bacall.
I'm just sayin'.
If we didn't have cultural appropriation we would all be sitting naked in our separate camps, caves, hovels banging on rocks and using pointy sticks we found on the ground.
Cultural appropriation is a great thing. It is a very good thing. It is how we grow culturally and socially. How we change and evolve. Taking what seems to be best, new, most useful and just plain cool from other cultures and putting it into our own. Oooh look....those other guys in the next camp over are using copper instead of these fragile stones that always break..I'm gonna try that. Wow. Check it out. Look at the way they tan those mastodon hides and the drape of the leather....so sexy! Lets do that too!
We steal and borrow from you and you other guys do the same to us. So?
How about belly button bling? Is that a uniquely American style or did we lift that from some other culture?......Pity the poor culture that never gets appropriated. I'm referring, of course, to Scots and bagpipes. Who wants wants to wear kilts, play bagpipes, or eat sheep intestines? It's never really caught on among other cultures......... I'm mystified as to why anyone would want to appropriate Indian food.
My people invented fire and the wheel.
Another day, another sad effort by hopeless vicious morons to suppress freedom of expression and association. Everything culturally worthwhile has been lifted from some other culture. Sometimes it's improved, sometimes it's not.
List of cultures which punish cultural appropriation:
1. North Korea.
2. Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations.
3. SJWs.
It's a sorry ass culture, indeed, whose sole cultural aspect worthy of imitation is toe rings. If my culture had been around for a few thousand years and the only thing we did worth copying was wearing toe rings I'd keep that fact on the down low........I think Ameican porn stars initiated the phenomenon of vagina piercings and decorations. If this style transcends American culture and spreads to other parts of the world, then they're welcome to it. Americans are generous and not chauvinistic about their cultural innovations.
