I personally don't get this cultural appropriation outrage among non aboriginal peoples.
I don't, either, and I don't intend to. And anyone presuming to accuse me of this silly sh!t will get back a reply that is short, unambiguous and, depending on my mood of the moment, culturally and appropriately profane.
So good to see this. It's such an overblown hot button topic here where I live - I've been keeping my opinion to myself.

I'm really glad I opened this thread :wave:

Just an observation....With all the focus on ancestry DNA right now, it should be blindingly obvious that a nation of mutts - the U.S.A. - should be able to cook durn hear anything they can imagine.

Gimmee a bowl of that pastalaya and slide over the bottle of nuoc cham, so I can sprinkle a little on...

The very idea of people having some kind intellectual copyright on cooking or clothes is completely f*cked in the head.

What is it about this species that seems to drive us to eliminate all behaviors that made us successful to begin with - not sharing ideas, not being as self-reliant as possible, in a world of abundance being three days food supply from barbarism.
Quote:
 


Another suburban family morning
Grandmother screaming at the wall
We have to shout above the din of our rice crispies
We can't hear anything at all

Mother chants her litany of boredom and frustration
But we know all her suicides are fake
Daddy only stares into the distance
There's only so much more that he can take

Many miles away something crawls from the slime
At the bottom of a dark Scottish lake

Another industrial ugly morning
The factory belches filth into the sky
He walks unhindered through the picket lines today,
He doesn't think to wonder why

The secretaries pout and preen like cheap tarts in a red light street,
But all he ever thinks to do is watch,
And every single meeting with his so-called superior
Is a humiliating kick in the crotch

Many miles away something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

Another working day has ended
Only the rush hour hell to face
Packed like lemmings into shiny metal boxes
Contestants in a suicidal race

Daddy grips the wheel and stares alone into the distance
He knows that something somewhere has to break
He sees the family home now, looming in his headlights
The pain upstairs that makes his eyeballs ache

Many miles away there's a shadow on the door
Of a cottage on the shore
Of a dark Scottish lake

Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away
Many miles away

Speaking as a liberal, I find that picture deeply offensive.

:rolleyes2: There's no way I'm going to let any snowflake define 'cultural appropriation' for me. Especially food. I grew up in the 70s as liberal & Canuck in one of the last countries on earth embracing multiculturalism as official policy. Fvck you gender-studies would-be feminist, American bred & read, social media addicted snowflakes.

Headscarves ... Not appropriation. I wear a headscarf because my mom sent me to school in winter wearing a babushka as a little girl. I certainly would wear a scarf or hat to certain churches on Sunday (if I went or was invited). It's called respect, not a fashion piece. And yeah, I do wear a scarf when I feel like remembering my mom liking Jackie Kennedy liking Coco Chanel. I also love wearing a bandana when I wanna feel like Peggy Lipton or Janis Joplin. Or ha, a colourful wild scarf a pot smoking hippy girl wears while high [sic] on a camel in Morocco. Fvck this headscarf appropriation thing. And while on the subject of head coverings, when was the last time a legit rancher or farm kid ever felt 'offended', 'disrespected', 'violated' when a city kid or anyone else wore a cowboy hat? They. just. don't. They. Aren't. Snowflakes.

Seal, Buffalo ... Not appropriation. Better than the old Canadian made Sorels. Better than the new 'eco friendly' Sorels wtf millennial cool vaping kids wear. Wore seal & bison as a kid & I'll wear mine to the nursing home. Thank you NWT & the Yukon! My feet are warm. And I need warm because I out walk the uber car-sharing commuter snowflakes. I actually grew up walking to school. No nanny. No school bus.

Borsch? Perogies? Yorkshire pudding? Cabbage rolls? Jamaican Jerk (name your meat)? Italian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese? This foodie appropriation ain't going to happen here. It's called "assimilation". And yeah, we see "no color". Sue, Renauda, Riley .. we're Canadian. Still. If we didn't embrace :rolleyes2: exotic :rolleyes2: foreign food, we'd starve.
