THE ULTIMATE GUIDE IN MASTERING
THE ARTS OF APPROPRIATING!
I assume you've casually stumbled here because you're in need of guidance on how to become a Culture Vulture. Maybe your soul is sauceless and you're in desperate need of unlocking a different breed of sauce ... I gotchu, sis.
STEP ONE. Adopt elements of a culture without paying neither homage or acknowledging the deep history behind it. No, hair texture, languages, food etc. are not included because they retain no cultural meaning. Please ensure that the item of clothing you appropriate has a specific cultural meaning behind it! For example, jeans were originally created by a Latvian, however, it has no cultural meaning behind it whatsoever.
STEP TWO. Claim it, even christen your work of art if you must. Never forget when Kim Kardashian paved the way for the Culture Vulture committee by introducing her beautiful piece, Boxer Braids.
STEP THREE. Acknowledge that stealing physical traits of a specific race isn't identified as appropriation. I mean, although afro hair is a dominant black feature, that doesn't mean to say a white person isn't capable of naturally growing an afro from their scalp. However, a dominant race mocking the physical traits of a minority is deemed offensive as it's wearing their traits as though it was a "costume".
STEP FOUR. Don't do it. Point, blank, period.
