RE: If Cultural Appropriation is Wrong, What About Technological Appropriation?
I think the term "social justice warrior" is the biggest misnomer ever created. All they are about is division of the people, and seeking recognition from the people that their poo does not smell. If you ask a man from Nigeria what he thinks of a black man from LA, bitching about cultural appropriation, you are likely to get a very different remark than asking a social justice warrior what they think.
Cultural appropriation is not a problem, it is how we have grown to know each other at peoples, groups and nations. The problem comes about when an individual thinks it is a problem.
So the social justice warrior's would like no one other than Pakistani's to buy Persian Rugs, after all that is where they came from. They would want only people from Africa to buy stuff that represents their home land. Same for people people from China, only they are allowed to buy China made items. All the social justice warriors are about is embargoing trade between groups of people. If people stopped and thought about all the things that are a part and parcel of a culture, and that only those members of that culture are allowed to buy and use anything associated with their culture, then their culture will die out from stagnation.
Social justice warriors are nothing more than a distractor, to keep people from learning about people. Because when you learn about a people, you have no fear of the people.
I have not thought about it as economic segregation before. I doubt SJWs have either. That's an interesting perspective.
Are you afraid of your own words... I am disgusted.
