Flo I think the biggest point is that they don't sell that thing you were ridiculed for /to you/, but to white people only, while you still get ridiculed for it (f.e. white kids can wear dreads with no problem but black people lose jobs and education over their normal hair), or that they go as far as taking the meaning away from it
Mom of a Kpop fan kpop is life lol hate speech is illegal in any country. UN human rights Charter Article 21. It's a human right not to be harassed you idiot
as a chinese person, i feel the most problem i have with cultural appropriation is that they do it WRONG!!! hideous and tacky dragons/patterns (that are very diminishing of our real beautiful art and culture), nonsense chinese characters, and in the chinese legend mulan sure didn't have to fall in love into her supervisor for it to count as a happy ending! it is one thing to showcase and promote great cultures with heart, probably even make the culture greater, another if people just pillage it for shock value and profit, while misrepresenting the true culture. oh and, i hate it when people assume that chinese food is unhealthy or that "there are no vegetarian chinese food". of course there are great vegetarian chinese foods, most chinese people had been involuntary vegetarians for many thousand years...
About Chinese food, I only know the American version of it, and they overkill with sweetening everything. Cultural appropriation is still a hard concept for me to grasp, mainly because I don't live in the US nor a country where my culture is the minority. However, I am alarmed by the severe denial of some here, like MomoTheBellyDancer's reply. This is one time where at least there's absolutely no harm in listening.
Ann Lin Having lived in Taipei for a year, it was hard to find vegetarian food. Some places had one vegetarian dish but it was considered poor people's food, so it was also very bland (basically all the necessities for a healthy meal without anything added for pleasure). Then I went to Tainan and it was like walking through a vegetarian food heaven! It really depends on the place you're at, and let's be honest, Chinese people love meat as a luxury food. There's KFC's, McDonalds and fried meats and night markets everywhere (talking about what I've seen in Beijing and Taiwan only though).
MomoTheBellyDancer They surely don't "overkill with sweetening" the Sichuan cuisine. My lord, after 6 years I can still feel my mouth burning! (And I ordered the "not spicy" dish xD ). I believe there are 4 cuisines in China: Sichuanese (spicy af), Cantonese (stir-fried, soy sauce, sesame oil etc), Shandong (seafood, vinegar) and Huaiyang (sweet). Also, a lot of cuisine in other parts of the world (like Europe, the USA, Canada) might be altered to please people with a different taste palate. For instance, "Chinese" food in my country is super sweet without the use of any other ingredient to give it a different flavour.
^i might be going to mainland china for a couple months next year and i'm a vegetarian, i was wondering if it's as non vegetarian as people say it is haha.
Here in Brazil, in the Sao Paulo Fashion Week, a black fashion designer was denied entrance. His own line was presenting that day. The reason? A black man in "suspicious" clothing.
For me, its patronizing forget the profit motive it is kind of like a slap in the face. It takes white people to wear it for it to be accepted? Can you understand how infuriating that can feel?
I agree with the video but they left out the difference between embracing culture and appropriating. It's only appropriating when the the race that belongs to the culture is bashed and not given credibility
Marissa Steffani I know back in the 70's white people would wear the native American headress, BUT they did it in order to understand the culture and befriend native American tribes. That's something I accept as cultural *appreciation* Nowadays, a headress is often worn during places like Coachella where people get wasted, puke, and high. No honor
Since all privileged white people are the same (bashing and undermining black people), none have the right to embrace black culture, correct? We should stick to segregation then? Ok, if that's what you guys want. (⚆ _ ⚆)
Yes, and I've always thought it has to do with whether the proper respect is given as well. So like when someone takes an important element/symbol from another culture that has a lot of cultural significance (like bindis for instance) and doesn't bother to learn the meanings and instead uses it for fashion or because it looks "cute".
As a side note, that kind of disrespecting of important symbols can be done with anything. I remember not too long ago crosses were a fashionable symbol and I doubt everybody wearing them like printed on their leggings or whatever was Christian. It just tends to happen more often with symbols from other cultures, but it's really not okay to take any symbol of identity to a group of people and use it shallowly. The fashion companies are mainly at fault for producing it but people should know better than to buy this stuff too.
Who the hell gonna walk out there house wearing a literal dragon, and It's not Halloween nor some Asian holiday. Come on fashion designers, I can't show up to my job interview looking like Mushu.
Tales from a tired mind The dragon looks like it's from a Victoria secret show... Clearly they are not expecting you to go to work like Mushu. They're expecting you to seduce someone while looking like Mushu because he is obviously the sexiest cartoon
Look at how she keeps stumbling, even after she gets up. She's shaking at the knees. It's either because she's drunk (as models are typically "encouraged" to drink before shows) or because she's malnourished. It's not funny.
I think cultural appropriation is when a person bashes a group of people for wearing something that came from the group people's culture. Calling it ghetto and such, just to turn around and wear it themselves and because of their race it's suddenly then considered fashionable. Saying that, sorry you can't use or wear this thing that comes from my culture because your not my race. Doesn't make any sense to me. Especially when you live in America which is a boiling pot of culture. And you don't bash or have anything against that race of people.
No, but the US is welcome to appropriate european culture of not letting your companies control legislation, paying taxes, and actually using them for the benefit of the people. Then you won't even need significant student loans. And you'll get universal healthcare as the cherry on top.
Look at what has happened with Dia De Los Muertos.... people have learned about Mexican culture, they have even learned that death is just a part of life and life is to be celebrated. I think that sharing culture while educating is fine. Now making tons of cash off of it is quite another story. If you make your own cultural stuff as homage to a specific culture that's totally fine, if you mass produce it and don't give a fig, then, we got problems...
Does anyone here know Big Mama Thornton? She was an African-American singer and the original recorder of the song "Hound Dog." However, her version of the song was overshadowed by Elvis Presley's version. Now, maybe it's just because people liked his version better, but I bet some people didn't know that it's a cover and think he was the original singer, when in reality the original singer was an African-American female.
Anyone who knows or still cares about Elvis Presley knows it's a cover. You know Sinatra didn't write his own music either. Ray Charles 'appropriated' Eleanor Rigby. So did Arethra Franklin. So yeah, I don't see your point.
japhygato My point was that it is an interesting history fact that is somewhat related to what they were talking about. Wasn't really trying to make a larger point than that and I apologize if it seemed that way.
You didn't pay attention to the words I used. I made it clear that not many people knew/cared about Elvis anymore. The compensation original artists wasn't addressed in the initial comment that I responded to. It's an interesting point worth arguing but it is not related to the topic of the initial comment or this video so I'm not going to bite. Next question!?
She may have been the "original singer," but she didn't write that song either. Back then, performers shared the same songs because the music industry assumed audiences expected artists to perform whatever was popular. Most songs were not written by the performers, but by dedicated writers. If anything, it was discouraged for performers to sing/play original music because the industry thought audiences wouldn't go for it. TL;DR this example, while popular to mention when cultural appropriation is brought up, doesn't apply when you consider that back then song writers and song performers were most often different people.
Bradley Ogilvie Elvis took the 'soul' of the black community, he took the gospel, and the vocalization, and sold it to white people. Some people see it as him opening eyes, but I feel like if that were the case more people would know where he got 99% of his material. .
OK but please no woman on woman crime against the models. It IS NOT EASY to be some "artist's" walking canvas. The shoes are horrible, you need to see that pic of their feet from Fashion Week a few years ago. Actually looked like the surface of the Moon right after a meteor shower. And I guess no one's allowed Band-aids. The fashion industry is brutal and cruel, they don't get worker's comp, and most models don't get rich.
It is so difficult and horrible walking in just 4 inch high heels I can't imagine walking in those huge heels models walk in, also once they fall I can only imagine how embarrassed they feel which further gets them nervous and uneasy to finish the walk.
So look before you assume anything i'm not some racist internet troll. I'm black, i'm a democrat, and i'm a liberal, but i completely disagree with this video and this new . Don't get me wrong i do believe that that cultural appropriation is a real thing but on a much major scale when someone is doing in a racist manor such wearing black face while eating fried chicken or wearing a sombrero and a poncho and speaking in a fake racist latino accent that's a serious issue. But when it come down to stuff like Miley twerking or white rappers like Eminem or white people with a fro or dreadlocks that's just being petty, I truly believe that people like them appreciate the culture and are not trying to manipulate it isn't that why we live in america because of the inclusion and multiple cultures. Take me for an example yes i'm black but i'm not a big fan of the rap music, the the twerking, the slang, but i do love Japanese culture i watch anime i love japanese music, food, and history i even took japanese language classes and yes I even own a kimono and some day i want to go to japan. Also yes even though i enjoy this part of their culture i know i can never take the bad stuff that has happened to them because i know at the end of the day i know i'm not japanese but it does give me a further knowledge of who they are and help me sympathize with them. The same for white people most know they will never truly be black because they never had to go through the struggle of being black, but that doesn't mean they cant enjoy the gifts that black we have brought into the world such as black music, food, poems, history, religion, our language. Mainly because it teaches them about us and helps them come to a better understanding and that's a step in the right direction isn't it? also side note about that new correspondent i think its wrong how she choose its ok who gets to copy and who doesnt and what is ok to copy like what she did with kendall and beyonce
Darryl Jack thanks for pointing out the Beyoncé cherry picking point. People like the woman in this video ARE the problem. The exact same problem that she wants to get rid of. Sometimes people do becomes the monsters they try to fight.
While it is used as a buzzword, cultural appropriation isn't inherently a bad thing. Cultural appropriation is when one culture traits of another culture. It's a neutral term. It becomes problematical when a white person, such as myself, does it, because colonialism is so closely tied into our identities that it can be hard to separate the intent from that. For that matter, we do it to ourselves too. Especially the rich people who like to act poor, like drinking from mason glasses, eating "trailer cuisine", or living in one of hose tiny houses because doing these things is just so "quaint".
Exactly. Like if she has a problem if cultural appropriation, it should matter if its beyonce that was appropriation. But she doesn't care cause its beyonce. Nah fam they just change their point of view when its convenient for them.
She makes us never forget slavery !! right on dumbass. thats the only broken record she can bring us. While everyone is trying to STOP slavery, FORGET slavery with statue vandalism. All she does is to keep the fire burning of racism in a negative, non constructive, problem solving way. Typical she only nags and uses the easy way out. Play the racist card, politic correct. and white people are discriminated, pushed away for sensable dialogue. But hey, trevor noah and sensable doesnt work together. its all bullshit. he keeps the glass half empty, while the glass is half full for the evolved species. Dreadlocks?! you take white people on stealing dreadlocks?! thats a crime!! Youve been selling it for decades to white people. you cant call a buyer a thief!! and we dont take it away. We share EVERYTHING, and get a RACIST instead a thank you. We invented TONS of MEDICAL new things, we invent to help many people, billions actually. Shes a whale, having all reason to be a democrat to keep her foodstamps coming. Oke, shes the 1 exception next to 99,99% other black whales demanding theyr rights, just hanging on to the ship, slowing things down. like a cancer inside a body. it feeds itself from a host, in this case ... working class people, so probably 2 out of 3 and white people
Great segment lol I love how Dulce can switch expressions of emotion from one extreme to the other and always end up back on her RBF. It's a glorious thing to watch.
Okay, can I just say Dulce is adorable? That little exchange between her and Trevor at 1:56 was just so cute and funny and it brought a huge smile to my face!!
It was meant to be Indian. Indians also don't have a lot of representation in western media, so it's super frustrating when it finally happens and it's just a bunch of vague stereotypes.
Don't understand the problem. White man wore suits first. Was it cultural appropriation for black people to were those too? No, if you like to do it. Do it. Why care about such dumb issues. People should concentrate on theirselves.
In Japan people think that is amazing that foreigners try wearing kimonos or any other kind of cultural fashion. They see it as sharing their culture and embracing those who want to try something new. The same in Spain where anyone can wear a flamenca dress without a problem. Is just expanding our culture As long as you are respectful about that culture I think is wonderful
I think the problem with race in America is that everyone collectively talks and thinks about it way too much. France is for example also a really diverse country, but it is for example prohibited by law to even perform a census and make distinctions between people based on race or religion. In America however it seems like your race or religion is your defining trait as a person. Crucially people need to understand that it doesn't matter at all whether or not there is cultural appropriation. What actually matters is that, by making this into the next big talking point and bringing race relations back to the forefront of debate, you are collectively stuck as a nation in a racial divide you helped exacerbate.
That is just stupid. As an Indian, if Katy Perry dressing up as a Japanese lady is wrong,then Beyonce dressing up as an Indian Goddess is wrong too. I personally don't mind cultural appropriation,but I am quite against the double standards. Just saying.
So you get upset when celebrities like Miley Cyrus or Katy Perry when they appropriate cultures (what Taylor did could barely even be called cultural appropriation), but you give Beyoncé a pass exactly because she is a celebrity? Seriously? This is total BS, don't expect people to take the problem seriously when you act like this. Also, what the hell is wrong with a white person playing jazz? Should Eminem quit cause it hurts your feelings? Boo-hoo!
Okay I'm all here for the message of cultural appropriation, but please don't bash skinny models. That just isn't fair. Some people are just naturally skinny and that's not a problem. Imagine if someone made the same joke about big girls, everyone would be rightfully upset. Smh
You have the right to do whatever you want with your hair. You have the right to wear whatever clothes you want. Shall we force black people to not to wear jeans for example ?
Cultural appropriation is not a valid form of discrimination! What you think of as "cultural appropriation" is simply natural human tendency. Did Genghis Khan and the mongols not adapt from the people they encountered, did not Akbar and the mughals do the same in India? did not the Swahili kingdoms do the same thing because of Indian ocean trade? did not Native Americans do this when the "culturally appropriated" the horse from Spanish settlers? Humans adopted aspects of other humans that are either useful or pleasant to them. Indians adopted chili peppers from the Americas to create curry. Japanese people then took those ideas to create their version of curry. The first instance of dreadlocks in recorded history was roman legions and later vikings; all of whom are "white people". Speaking of which do we not agree that race is a social construct anyway? If a Caucasian american man learns spanish and falls in love with a latin american person and learns the cuisine and social norms is he "culturally appropriating" latin american culture? No he is not, we have actual problems like economic and social inequality, real racism, educational inequality, the threat of nuclear war, a president who is an idiot, and wide spread corruption at the highest level. Let's not get stuck on stupid things like fashion and let's not divide over inconsequential crap like "cultural appropriation" which is actually just natural innocuous human behavior.
this is probably one of the worst sketches i have ever seen from the daily show. she talks about taking the good with the bad, but she gives passes to whomever she wants? beyonce gets a pass because: beyonce. sure, okay. a white man can't save jazz but a white man can save rap in 8 mile? is cultural appropriation okay for eminem because he's accepted in their culture(now)? and with the dreadlocks thing, workplaces are allowed to dictate how you look and dress. even in her own "source" if you look up the articles, they say that even if a white person had dreadlocks they still couldn't work there. that is literally the opposite of discrimination. at my own job, i'm not allowed to have unkempt facial hair or excessive beards. i've heard that locations like the restaurant twin peaks has weight checks for the waitresses to work there. this is just part of the job criteria and the physical appearance and image your company wants. i'm not white or black, but this definitely feels like an attack on white people in general as they are constantly called out throughout the segment. and they certainly get no credit. i've seen tons of people of all colors wear blonde wigs and such, but no one calls the appropriation. no one is up in arms. and don't get me started on the skinny shaming. if it was the other way around, i'm sure you know how things would have turned out. trevor noah is the only thing that saves this piece, with his level headedness.
It seems odd. I'm Danish and we have racists too (obivously - they are everywhere). But our racists seem to support staying within your own culture. You know - "keep Scandinavia Scandinavian", "don't mix with foriegners", "That's not Danish, so I don't like it". They want the SAME thing that those who call out cultural appropriation. It is so odd. I'm on the left wing, but I cannot understand how fellow leftwingers are supporting some sort of cultural apartheid. Stick with your own? Really?
Ugh. As a non-American, to me, this cultural appropriation / X - washing bs is stupid. Just wear what you want, play what you want, do what you want. You're considered *the* free country for god's sakes. Stop calling each other names, and just move on. You people are dividing yourselves and revelling at it.
It's funny how you say that but you can't erase literally hundreds of years of racist bullshit done in America. Not just towards blacks but towards the Chinese, Native, Irish, Italian, etc. Look up How the Japanese in America were treated in war world 2 if think these can all be washed away and forgotten. Believe me when I say I would love for America to just be united and together but it's HELL of a lot more complicated than that.
サパリーヤスシャント it's more complicated than that. The fact that when some wear it, they are ridiculed and when white pple wear it, they are applauded is the issue. I don't mind w.e. someone wears but it shouldn't be degraded cuz a race other than white pple or fashion gurus or w.e. wear them🤗
What does this have to do with my or the OPs comment? My argument is that it's easy to say "get along you guys" it's a lot harder to do in reality. "the black community needs to focus on economic and social reforms to change their lives" Are you serious? Either your a foreigner or you have been willfully ignorant of whats been going on in america.
james d exactly I can't stand when people always try to give their 2 cents on what black people should do when their not black and don't even know what's going on besides what mainstream media tells them. I would never tell an Armenian person what they should do/feel about the the Armenian genocide. I won't tell a Jewish person about what they should do/feel about the holocaust. And I'm damn sure not gonna tell people to get over it and do what u want and sing together while holding hands. Smh the nerves of some people
Are two black people wearing western clothes, a western language and technology seriously talking about cultural appropriation ? Seriously Trevor and Sloan have you walked in front of a mirror lately. Cut the BS !
Her argument makes no sense. Her thesis is if you're not within a culture you can't appreciate aspects of that culture. And when called out about how Beyonce has done the same thing she just says Beyonce can do anything b/c she's Beyonce; which is a bs response to valid rebuttal. So then she ends the segment by basically saying white people can't appreciate aspects of other cultures b/c they are white? That's not subversive, funny, or contemplative; it's just being a discriminatory d-bag. Daily Show is going downhill as a source of social and political commentary.
The only way a person can respond. Talk to youtube about how their algorithm doesn't work to identify views vs comment response. They won't. Their ad revenue comes from clicks. Talk to them about that too. I know you'll see me as rude but a critical eye should be used.
japhygato That's not what she's saying. Her point is that things like large buttocks, twerking, hip hop, and even jazz were considered "trashy" and "inferior" when black communities started them. When white people began to embrace these things, the black community wasn't even credited with the very things they created.
Her final statement is the entire point of this segment. If you want to appreciate someone's culture go ahead, but just remember to take the good with the bad. Too many people want to look, sound and act like another culture because it makes them feel distinct and different, but when that culture is facing discrimination and fighting for its rights, these same people are silent and no where to be seen. If you love our culture, love our struggle as well, fight with us.
Mike Man So how does one "accept the good with the bad"? Should white people who listen to rap music go in to the station and ask cops to randomly pull them over once a year so they can " suffer like the blacks do"? Her statement was stupid and she invalidated her entire argument by saying Beyonce could cosplay as a deity and no one should be offended.
I agree. Only issue with this is when you say "white people". Do you mean Slavic, Germanic, Caucasian, Latin, Turkic, Celtic or Scandinavian?? Let's be more specific.
I hate how they don't actually address Beyonce on if what she did was considered cultural appropriation or not. They immediately dismiss her just because "she's Beyonce". If a smaller artist had done it they would have been canceled in a heartbeat. I was genuinely interested about hearing both sides on wither it was appropriation or appreciation. Dismissing an action based on someone's fame takes away the whole point of having a conversation.
Appropriation has a specific context. The second example is cultural assimilation, where a minority tries to fit in with the majority to make their lives easier. This historically has often been mandated by law and nowadays tends to be about social discrimination. A white woman in cornrows is making a choice to engage with a single element of black culture while being unlikely to face the criticism that black women themselves do. Black hair is still highly politicised because afro hair texture historically came with serious consequences in the US (Chris Rock did a great documentary about this called Good Hair). For a white woman, it's just another hairstyle. If it were also that for black women, there wouldn't be an issue.
Lol why don't all black people have vitiligo and body dysmorphia? Skin bleaching is extremely common in most Asian countries and is a multi-billion dollar industry (like the black hair industry) so yeah, it happens. Light skin people were given higher social standing even during slavery. Nothing to do with appropriation tho.
So if I as a white woman wanted to wear a kimono because I found them beautiful and then I went out and researched the proper way to wear it, bought one from a Japanese seamstress and then had an expert in Japanese culture help me put it on I’m still appropriating the culture because I’m white. That sounds like a bunch of bullshit, I didn’t decide my race just like you didn’t decide yours. Because if I went the exact opposite way and said “well I would never wear a kimono cause I don’t like them.” Then I’d be considered a horrible racist
cultural apropiation is so vage this days that i don't know anymore. As a mexican White man, now i could get in trouble for using a tipical folk clouthing from my own state ( Yucatán) and people would think that i'm insensitive despite that it is MY OWN culture, which i'm very proud of.
I usually agree with the opinions presented on this show, but this was just... ugh. Everything that could be wrong with this argument was. -pulled the slavery card -dismissed counterexamples -gave no evidence that this was causing any harm -white people aren't supposed to like big butts?? -no one owns culture This is so far left that honestly, I think things like are part of the reason some white people think THEY are being discriminated against. Like seriously, let white people rock dreads if they wanna. Can you imagine the backlash if this wen't the other way? "Black people can't wear suits." This was some backwards thinking, racist-ass logic.
The example you showed for Native American was actually Inuit, and I think it was more of an Indian bride than a goddess but I appreciate Trevor giving an honest argument against the fuss. Although with the Beyoncé one she didn’t really have a great argument for it.
"Look at big butts."
"I always try to."
OHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
People often forget a key word for this argument, PROFIT. don't try to sell me something I was once ridiculed for wearing, eating, etc.
Modus Pwnens exactly!!! 👍👍
So women should not wear pants?
Flo I think the biggest point is that they don't sell that thing you were ridiculed for /to you/, but to white people only, while you still get ridiculed for it (f.e. white kids can wear dreads with no problem but black people lose jobs and education over their normal hair), or that they go as far as taking the meaning away from it
Mom of a Kpop fan kpop is life lol hate speech is illegal in any country. UN human rights Charter Article 21. It's a human right not to be harassed you idiot
Mom of a Kpop fan kpop is life lol Because only white people pay taxes in the US right ?
as a chinese person, i feel the most problem i have with cultural appropriation is that they do it WRONG!!! hideous and tacky dragons/patterns (that are very diminishing of our real beautiful art and culture), nonsense chinese characters, and in the chinese legend mulan sure didn't have to fall in love into her supervisor for it to count as a happy ending! it is one thing to showcase and promote great cultures with heart, probably even make the culture greater, another if people just pillage it for shock value and profit, while misrepresenting the true culture.
oh and, i hate it when people assume that chinese food is unhealthy or that "there are no vegetarian chinese food". of course there are great vegetarian chinese foods, most chinese people had been involuntary vegetarians for many thousand years...

However, I am alarmed by the severe denial of some here, like MomoTheBellyDancer's reply. This is one time where at least there's absolutely no harm in listening.
Totally agree!
Ann Lin Having lived in Taipei for a year, it was hard to find vegetarian food. Some places had one vegetarian dish but it was considered poor people's food, so it was also very bland (basically all the necessities for a healthy meal without anything added for pleasure). Then I went to Tainan and it was like walking through a vegetarian food heaven! It really depends on the place you're at, and let's be honest, Chinese people love meat as a luxury food. There's KFC's, McDonalds and fried meats and night markets everywhere (talking about what I've seen in Beijing and Taiwan only though).
MomoTheBellyDancer They surely don't "overkill with sweetening" the Sichuan cuisine. My lord, after 6 years I can still feel my mouth burning! (And I ordered the "not spicy" dish xD ). I believe there are 4 cuisines in China: Sichuanese (spicy af), Cantonese (stir-fried, soy sauce, sesame oil etc), Shandong (seafood, vinegar) and Huaiyang (sweet). Also, a lot of cuisine in other parts of the world (like Europe, the USA, Canada) might be altered to please people with a different taste palate. For instance, "Chinese" food in my country is super sweet without the use of any other ingredient to give it a different flavour.
^i might be going to mainland china for a couple months next year and i'm a vegetarian, i was wondering if it's as non vegetarian as people say it is haha.
Trevor's smile/laugh at 3:24 is too damn cute! But I love her! Funny and gorgeous!
Adah Lis such a sweetheart, right!
I love this chick.
This woman said they even appropriated the alien's body type.
I am figuratively dead 😂😂😂
I like your appropriate use of the word 'figuratively' 👌
you can say literally 😅
"Don't worry about bringing that Pepsi girl, we drink Sprite" lol
Lu 23LT funny 😂
I'm in love with Dulce, so much so that I just ate some candy
I learned a new thing today. Apparently black people love Sprite... thanks daily show and urban dictionary.
Can someone explain the joke to me?
Jürgen Hans you can't explain a joke it wouldn't be fu.... you know what nvm
"Its always Kendall Jenner" 😂 where is the lie though?
Here in Brazil, in the Sao Paulo Fashion Week, a black fashion designer was denied entrance. His own line was presenting that day.
The reason? A black man in "suspicious" clothing.
A suit and tie?
Suspicious clothing is one of the points of fashion week.
Now that’s just prejudice.
Really? What the hell?
What the F***!
For me, its patronizing forget the profit motive it is kind of like a slap in the face. It takes white people to wear it for it to be accepted? Can you understand how infuriating that can feel?
Dulce: For example: Look at big butts.
Trevor: I always try to.
Me: Aaaaaaaay
I agree with the video but they left out the difference between embracing culture and appropriating. It's only appropriating when the the race that belongs to the culture is bashed and not given credibility
Marissa Steffani
I know back in the 70's white people would wear the native American headress, BUT they did it in order to understand the culture and befriend native American tribes. That's something I accept as cultural *appreciation*
Nowadays, a headress is often worn during places like Coachella where people get wasted, puke, and high. No honor
Since all privileged white people are the same (bashing and undermining black people), none have the right to embrace black culture, correct? We should stick to segregation then? Ok, if that's what you guys want.
(⚆ _ ⚆)
Yes, and I've always thought it has to do with whether the proper respect is given as well. So like when someone takes an important element/symbol from another culture that has a lot of cultural significance (like bindis for instance) and doesn't bother to learn the meanings and instead uses it for fashion or because it looks "cute".
As a side note, that kind of disrespecting of important symbols can be done with anything. I remember not too long ago crosses were a fashionable symbol and I doubt everybody wearing them like printed on their leggings or whatever was Christian. It just tends to happen more often with symbols from other cultures, but it's really not okay to take any symbol of identity to a group of people and use it shallowly. The fashion companies are mainly at fault for producing it but people should know better than to buy this stuff too.
Marissa Steffani She did make that point.
Who the hell gonna walk out there house wearing a literal dragon, and It's not Halloween nor some Asian holiday. Come on fashion designers, I can't show up to my job interview looking like Mushu.
Tales from a tired mind Well,one thing everyone agrees on is that TSHECHWAN TERRIYAKI MCNUGGET DIPPING SAUCE!!!!
its the same with art, its often not the displays that have purpose but the backroom dealings that do
Oh my gah, I'm dyin'! XD
Tales from a tired mind The dragon looks like it's from a Victoria secret show... Clearly they are not expecting you to go to work like Mushu. They're expecting you to seduce someone while looking like Mushu because he is obviously the sexiest cartoon
Mushu is cute though haha ^^
Models stumbling in ridiculously high heels is the funniest thing in the world 😂😂😂😂😂
I respectfully disagree. I think Trump's handshakes are funnier
You mean his finger grabs?
Look at how she keeps stumbling, even after she gets up. She's shaking at the knees. It's either because she's drunk (as models are typically "encouraged" to drink before shows) or because she's malnourished.
It's not funny.
or designer demanded from her to wear something no one could wear...
Wow. A human who can't walk on two legs. Evolution has come a long way 😁😂😉
At 3:28 Trevor mouths her joke about Beyonce. It's so cute.
He was mouthing the lines awwww🤗🤗
Dulce's makeup and clothes are on POINT!
I think cultural appropriation is when a person bashes a group of people for wearing something that came from the group people's culture. Calling it ghetto and such, just to turn around and wear it themselves and because of their race it's suddenly then considered fashionable.
Saying that, sorry you can't use or wear this thing that comes from my culture because your not my race. Doesn't make any sense to me. Especially when you live in America which is a boiling pot of culture. And you don't bash or have anything against that race of people.
Chrissy na every race has a culture
Modus Pwnens makes sense
Chrissy na true
Modus Pwnens
The 2nd part is literally why it's called cultural "appropriation". WTF do you think it meant? Are you high?
That's what I got from what she said.
The 1st part of what you wrote-that is.
Can y'all appropriate my student loans? 😁
You sir win best comment.
No, but the US is welcome to appropriate european culture of not letting your companies control legislation, paying taxes, and actually using them for the benefit of the people. Then you won't even need significant student loans. And you'll get universal healthcare as the cherry on top.
Armed Wombat Um...that's not just "European" culture >.> should be American culture...you know...like...everybody here and....nvm.
Marcus Parker lmao 😂😂😂😂 mine too
Wha-- NO! THAT'S TERRIBLE!
I love and support Dolce Sloan already
when did her name become Italian all of a sudden lol it's Dulce.
Look at what has happened with Dia De Los Muertos.... people have learned about Mexican culture, they have even learned that death is just a part of life and life is to be celebrated. I think that sharing culture while educating is fine. Now making tons of cash off of it is quite another story. If you make your own cultural stuff as homage to a specific culture that's totally fine, if you mass produce it and don't give a fig, then, we got problems...
"You can get away with it. Cuz you look Puerto Rican. Hola." haha! Definitely gonna be checking out her segments from now on!
I've loved big butts WAY BEFORE the Kardashians!
and I cannot lie
Lucky Llama
Big butts were disgusting before and still are to this day. A well shaped ass is much better than some nasty flab.
K Doe I don't discriminate. I enjoy butts of all sizes.
Lucky Llama
Fair enough :)
Does anyone here know Big Mama Thornton? She was an African-American singer and the original recorder of the song "Hound Dog." However, her version of the song was overshadowed by Elvis Presley's version. Now, maybe it's just because people liked his version better, but I bet some people didn't know that it's a cover and think he was the original singer, when in reality the original singer was an African-American female.
Anyone who knows or still cares about Elvis Presley knows it's a cover. You know Sinatra didn't write his own music either. Ray Charles 'appropriated' Eleanor Rigby. So did Arethra Franklin. So yeah, I don't see your point.
japhygato My point was that it is an interesting history fact that is somewhat related to what they were talking about. Wasn't really trying to make a larger point than that and I apologize if it seemed that way.
You didn't pay attention to the words I used. I made it clear that not many people knew/cared about Elvis anymore. The compensation original artists wasn't addressed in the initial comment that I responded to. It's an interesting point worth arguing but it is not related to the topic of the initial comment or this video so I'm not going to bite. Next question!?
She may have been the "original singer," but she didn't write that song either. Back then, performers shared the same songs because the music industry assumed audiences expected artists to perform whatever was popular. Most songs were not written by the performers, but by dedicated writers. If anything, it was discouraged for performers to sing/play original music because the industry thought audiences wouldn't go for it.
TL;DR this example, while popular to mention when cultural appropriation is brought up, doesn't apply when you consider that back then song writers and song performers were most often different people.
Bradley Ogilvie Elvis took the 'soul' of the black community, he took the gospel, and the vocalization, and sold it to white people. Some people see it as him opening eyes, but I feel like if that were the case more people would know where he got 99% of his material. .
I'm Chinese and I remember I would be embarrassed when my grandma would wear her qipao to church. I was always ashamed, but now it's an aesthetic?
1:58 are we all just gonna ignore the joke and his reaction 🤣🤣🤣
Minutes 2:00 and 3:20 got me on the floor!! We want more Dulce Sloan!!!!
Dulce Sloan 😍😍😍 "dont worry bout that Pepsi coz we drink Sprite"... i died
No one in India loved that Beyonce bit. She looked like a goddamn cartoon.
We just liked the song. #coldplay
Sandeep Kumar damn looks like you conversed with every single Indian regarding a music video
Dude, nobody cared for it. It was just......meh.
Everyone was talking about Sonam Kapoor's 10 secs. Most of us don't even like Beyonce.
here comes the idiot who has no idea about another culture but still has an opinion
But god forbid someone would ever admit Beyonce did something wrong.
that last comment by Usir was very funny
OK but please no woman on woman crime against the models. It IS NOT EASY to be some "artist's" walking canvas. The shoes are horrible, you need to see that pic of their feet from Fashion Week a few years ago. Actually looked like the surface of the Moon right after a meteor shower. And I guess no one's allowed Band-aids. The fashion industry is brutal and cruel, they don't get worker's comp, and most models don't get rich.
I was also disturbed by that. She's in high heels for crying out loud.
Preach!!
It is so difficult and horrible walking in just 4 inch high heels I can't imagine walking in those huge heels models walk in, also once they fall I can only imagine how embarrassed they feel which further gets them nervous and uneasy to finish the walk.
So look before you assume anything i'm not some racist internet troll.
I'm black, i'm a democrat, and i'm a liberal, but i completely disagree with this video and this new . Don't get me wrong i do believe that that cultural appropriation is a real thing but on a much major scale when someone is doing in a racist manor such wearing black face while eating fried chicken or wearing a sombrero and a poncho and speaking in a fake racist latino accent that's a serious issue. But when it come down to stuff like Miley twerking or white rappers like Eminem or white people with a fro or dreadlocks that's just being petty, I truly believe that people like them appreciate the culture and are not trying to manipulate it isn't that why we live in america because of the inclusion and multiple cultures. Take me for an example yes i'm black but i'm not a big fan of the rap music, the the twerking, the slang, but i do love Japanese culture i watch anime i love japanese music, food, and history i even took japanese language classes and yes I even own a kimono and some day i want to go to japan. Also yes even though i enjoy this part of their culture i know i can never take the bad stuff that has happened to them because i know at the end of the day i know i'm not japanese but it does give me a further knowledge of who they are and help me sympathize with them. The same for white people most know they will never truly be black because they never had to go through the struggle of being black, but that doesn't mean they cant enjoy the gifts that black we have brought into the world such as black music, food, poems, history, religion, our language. Mainly because it teaches them about us and helps them come to a better understanding and that's a step in the right direction isn't it? also side note about that new correspondent i think its wrong how she choose its ok who gets to copy and who doesnt and what is ok to copy like what she did with kendall and beyonce

Darryl Jack thanks for pointing out the Beyoncé cherry picking point. People like the woman in this video ARE the problem. The exact same problem that she wants to get rid of. Sometimes people do becomes the monsters they try to fight.
Darryl Jack I couldn't have said it better.
While it is used as a buzzword, cultural appropriation isn't inherently a bad thing. Cultural appropriation is when one culture traits of another culture. It's a neutral term.
It becomes problematical when a white person, such as myself, does it, because colonialism is so closely tied into our identities that it can be hard to separate the intent from that.
For that matter, we do it to ourselves too. Especially the rich people who like to act poor, like drinking from mason glasses, eating "trailer cuisine", or living in one of hose tiny houses because doing these things is just so "quaint".
Darryl Jack moron. You were not paying attention
That look between these two after "look at big butts!" So cute😍
1:56 This is a moment of magic
His face!
That was golden!
She just contradicted herself with the Beyoncé example like
thank you she just dismissed us by saying it's Beyonce so it's okay.I think we have accepted the fact that culture can be exchanged
They don't understand why Indians were happy that Beyonce wore Indian outfit. Indians feel included when someone else tries on their culture.
Exactly. Like if she has a problem if cultural appropriation, it should matter if its beyonce that was appropriation. But she doesn't care cause its beyonce. Nah fam they just change their point of view when its convenient for them.
2:04 is the cutest moment ever ... 😍😍😍😍😍😍
So, Kendall "appropriating culture" is bad but Beyonce is alright... #doublestandards
Beyonce is black dumbass
"Look at big butts-"
"I always try to,"
XDDDD
She's awesome!! :D Hilarious :D
I have to agrre if she weren't a racist bitch.
I didn't notice any racism. And I'm a white Southerner, I know me some racism.
She makes us never forget slavery !! right on dumbass. thats the only broken record she can bring us.
While everyone is trying to STOP slavery, FORGET slavery with statue vandalism.
All she does is to keep the fire burning of racism in a negative, non constructive, problem solving way.
Typical she only nags and uses the easy way out. Play the racist card, politic correct. and white people are discriminated, pushed away for sensable dialogue.
But hey, trevor noah and sensable doesnt work together. its all bullshit.
he keeps the glass half empty, while the glass is half full for the evolved species.
Dreadlocks?! you take white people on stealing dreadlocks?! thats a crime!! Youve been selling it for decades to white people. you cant call a buyer a thief!! and we dont take it away.
We share EVERYTHING, and get a RACIST instead a thank you.
We invented TONS of MEDICAL new things, we invent to help many people, billions actually.
Shes a whale, having all reason to be a democrat to keep her foodstamps coming. Oke, shes the 1 exception next to 99,99% other black whales demanding theyr rights, just hanging on to the ship, slowing things down. like a cancer inside a body. it feeds itself from a host, in this case ... working class people, so probably 2 out of 3 and white people
Wow, you really got your rant going. I hope you got all the racism out of your system.
this was racist as fuck, but it does not matter it's a joke.
Dulce is so funny. I think she might be my new favorite corrispondant.
you mean correspondent
She is annoying and loud as hell.
"I always try to" Trevor you're a treasure
Great segment lol
I love how Dulce can switch expressions of emotion from one extreme to the other and always end up back on her RBF. It's a glorious thing to watch.
The worldwide Spanish speaking community would love to have the word "dulce" back, thank you... 😂😂😂
Okay, can I just say Dulce is adorable? That little exchange between her and Trevor at 1:56 was just so cute and funny and it brought a huge smile to my face!!
I am from India... N many ppl hated Beyonce dressing like that...
rusty2512 Did or didn't hate it? We can't tell from what you wrote. I definitely want to know, though.
deprofundis many people hated it... Not because of Beyonce but becoz of the dressing... It didn't even remotely resemble indian...
DESIGNATED
It was meant to be Indian. Indians also don't have a lot of representation in western media, so it's super frustrating when it finally happens and it's just a bunch of vague stereotypes.
Another Made Up Internet Subculture at least they didnt collectively redicule indian culture.
Don't understand the problem. White man wore suits first. Was it cultural appropriation for black people to were those too? No, if you like to do it. Do it. Why care about such dumb issues. People should concentrate on theirselves.
I'm a minority who isn't worried about others "stealing" my culture. I worry about real issues not who is wearing ethnic clothing
I don't know who loved that look of Beyonce in India, ( it was straight up out of the 80s), but none of us cared about it. We got bigger fish to fry.
I'm leaving this here cuz its too danm!!!
These white men aren't trying to steal us, they're embracing us
Come on ...come on get on this Boat 😁😂
In Japan people think that is amazing that foreigners try wearing kimonos or any other kind of cultural fashion. They see it as sharing their culture and embracing those who want to try something new.
The same in Spain where anyone can wear a flamenca dress without a problem. Is just expanding our culture
As long as you are respectful about that culture I think is wonderful
I think the problem with race in America is that everyone collectively talks and thinks about it way too much. France is for example also a really diverse country, but it is for example prohibited by law to even perform a census and make distinctions between people based on race or religion. In America however it seems like your race or religion is your defining trait as a person. Crucially people need to understand that it doesn't matter at all whether or not there is cultural appropriation. What actually matters is that, by making this into the next big talking point and bringing race relations back to the forefront of debate, you are collectively stuck as a nation in a racial divide you helped exacerbate.
That is just stupid. As an Indian, if Katy Perry dressing up as a Japanese lady is wrong,then Beyonce dressing up as an Indian Goddess is wrong too. I personally don't mind cultural appropriation,but I am quite against the double standards. Just saying.
"...but don't bring that Pepsi girl coz we drink sprite!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So you get upset when celebrities like Miley Cyrus or Katy Perry when they appropriate cultures (what Taylor did could barely even be called cultural appropriation), but you give Beyoncé a pass exactly because she is a celebrity? Seriously? This is total BS, don't expect people to take the problem seriously when you act like this. Also, what the hell is wrong with a white person playing jazz? Should Eminem quit cause it hurts your feelings? Boo-hoo!
she's my favorite correspondent so far! her delivery is great and her comedic timing is amazing
At 2:05 was the most easily interpreted “oh honey” gesture i have ever seen
I am LOVING her. I don't think anyone could sell that segment better. I hope you have her on a lot.
Okay I'm all here for the message of cultural appropriation, but please don't bash skinny models. That just isn't fair. Some people are just naturally skinny and that's not a problem. Imagine if someone made the same joke about big girls, everyone would be rightfully upset. Smh
*Sip tea & wait* Oh man, the comments are going to be lit hahaha
Shepards Girl Aaaand we have yet again a YT comment section full of bitter people from every background possible. Can I have some tea in your company?
Shepards Girl I'd like to request shelter. Cup of tea would be nice too.
Unruly Crow don't forget the people bitter about the bitter comment section!
A lot of it looks more misguided and confused.
You can’t go over beyonce with the bull sjit argument that she is a goddess
How is called when a black man is dressing in an Italian suit?
Claiming exclusivity of a culture as part of your race is the racist thing in the first place!
You have the right to do whatever you want with your hair. You have the right to wear whatever clothes you want. Shall we force black people to not to wear jeans for example ?
Cultural appropriation is not a valid form of discrimination! What you think of as "cultural appropriation" is simply natural human tendency. Did Genghis Khan and the mongols not adapt from the people they encountered, did not Akbar and the mughals do the same in India? did not the Swahili kingdoms do the same thing because of Indian ocean trade? did not Native Americans do this when the "culturally appropriated" the horse from Spanish settlers? Humans adopted aspects of other humans that are either useful or pleasant to them. Indians adopted chili peppers from the Americas to create curry. Japanese people then took those ideas to create their version of curry. The first instance of dreadlocks in recorded history was roman legions and later vikings; all of whom are "white people". Speaking of which do we not agree that race is a social construct anyway? If a Caucasian american man learns spanish and falls in love with a latin american person and learns the cuisine and social norms is he "culturally appropriating" latin american culture? No he is not, we have actual problems like economic and social inequality, real racism, educational inequality, the threat of nuclear war, a president who is an idiot, and wide spread corruption at the highest level. Let's not get stuck on stupid things like fashion and let's not divide over inconsequential crap like "cultural appropriation" which is actually just natural innocuous human behavior.
This lady.... I like her already ^^
I'm from a very traditional region in Denmark, Scandinavia, and I'd absolutely love to see foreigners dress up as Vikings tbh! 😂
@Anny's World black Vikings would be pretty cool
Another great addition to the team. This is why I love this show so much.
this is probably one of the worst sketches i have ever seen from the daily show. she talks about taking the good with the bad, but she gives passes to whomever she wants? beyonce gets a pass because: beyonce. sure, okay. a white man can't save jazz but a white man can save rap in 8 mile? is cultural appropriation okay for eminem because he's accepted in their culture(now)?
and with the dreadlocks thing, workplaces are allowed to dictate how you look and dress. even in her own "source" if you look up the articles, they say that even if a white person had dreadlocks they still couldn't work there. that is literally the opposite of discrimination. at my own job, i'm not allowed to have unkempt facial hair or excessive beards. i've heard that locations like the restaurant twin peaks has weight checks for the waitresses to work there. this is just part of the job criteria and the physical appearance and image your company wants.
i'm not white or black, but this definitely feels like an attack on white people in general as they are constantly called out throughout the segment. and they certainly get no credit. i've seen tons of people of all colors wear blonde wigs and such, but no one calls the appropriation. no one is up in arms.
and don't get me started on the skinny shaming. if it was the other way around, i'm sure you know how things would have turned out. trevor noah is the only thing that saves this piece, with his level headedness.
They Sprite comment... 💯👏🏽✊🏾
3:23 Trevor's smile tho🤗
I always try to 🙈❤️
😂😂😂
Beyonce was not dressed like an Indian goddess,she wasn't even dressed in Indian traditional attire.
It seems odd. I'm Danish and we have racists too (obivously - they are everywhere).
But our racists seem to support staying within your own culture. You know - "keep Scandinavia Scandinavian", "don't mix with foriegners", "That's not Danish, so I don't like it".
They want the SAME thing that those who call out cultural appropriation. It is so odd.
I'm on the left wing, but I cannot understand how fellow leftwingers are supporting some sort of cultural apartheid. Stick with your own? Really?
Ugh. As a non-American, to me, this cultural appropriation / X - washing bs is stupid. Just wear what you want, play what you want, do what you want. You're considered *the* free country for god's sakes. Stop calling each other names, and just move on. You people are dividing yourselves and revelling at it.
It's funny how you say that but you can't erase literally hundreds of years of racist bullshit done in America. Not just towards blacks but towards the Chinese, Native, Irish, Italian, etc. Look up How the Japanese in America were treated in war world 2 if think these can all be washed away and forgotten. Believe me when I say I would love for America to just be united and together but it's HELL of a lot more complicated than that.
サパリーヤスシャント it's more complicated than that. The fact that when some wear it, they are ridiculed and when white pple wear it, they are applauded is the issue. I don't mind w.e. someone wears but it shouldn't be degraded cuz a race other than white pple or fashion gurus or w.e. wear them🤗
What does this have to do with my or the OPs comment? My argument is that it's easy to say "get along you guys" it's a lot harder to do in reality.
"the black community needs to focus on economic and social reforms to change their lives" Are you serious? Either your a foreigner or you have been willfully ignorant of whats been going on in america.
james d exactly I can't stand when people always try to give their 2 cents on what black people should do when their not black and don't even know what's going on besides what mainstream media tells them. I would never tell an Armenian person what they should do/feel about the the Armenian genocide. I won't tell a Jewish person about what they should do/feel about the holocaust. And I'm damn sure not gonna tell people to get over it and do what u want and sing together while holding hands. Smh the nerves of some people
The US is considered THE free country? By who?
How am I just seeing this? 😱😱
Dulce!. Good looking out gguurrrrllll!! 🤣🤣🤣
Dulcé is soo beautiful!
They make money off of it and we get kicked out of school and denied jobs for it. That’s why we have a problem.
Are two black people wearing western clothes, a western language and technology seriously talking about cultural appropriation ?
Seriously Trevor and Sloan have you walked in front of a mirror lately.
Cut the BS !
im sorry. i dont get cultural appropriation
what, a video not about Donald Trump? #mind blown.
I knew something was up when I almost laughed one time. I don't know but the fat chick is kinda hilarious if she weren't such a fat, racist bitch
lololollol
vik_psn you're so edgy !!!!!!
Her argument makes no sense. Her thesis is if you're not within a culture you can't appreciate aspects of that culture. And when called out about how Beyonce has done the same thing she just says Beyonce can do anything b/c she's Beyonce; which is a bs response to valid rebuttal. So then she ends the segment by basically saying white people can't appreciate aspects of other cultures b/c they are white? That's not subversive, funny, or contemplative; it's just being a discriminatory d-bag. Daily Show is going downhill as a source of social and political commentary.
Yet you give it views
The only way a person can respond. Talk to youtube about how their algorithm doesn't work to identify views vs comment response. They won't. Their ad revenue comes from clicks. Talk to them about that too. I know you'll see me as rude but a critical eye should be used.
japhygato That's not what she's saying. Her point is that things like large buttocks, twerking, hip hop, and even jazz were considered "trashy" and "inferior" when black communities started them. When white people began to embrace these things, the black community wasn't even credited with the very things they created.
Her final statement is the entire point of this segment. If you want to appreciate someone's culture go ahead, but just remember to take the good with the bad. Too many people want to look, sound and act like another culture because it makes them feel distinct and different, but when that culture is facing discrimination and fighting for its rights, these same people are silent and no where to be seen. If you love our culture, love our struggle as well, fight with us.
Mike Man So how does one "accept the good with the bad"? Should white people who listen to rap music go in to the station and ask cops to randomly pull them over once a year so they can " suffer like the blacks do"? Her statement was stupid and she invalidated her entire argument by saying Beyonce could cosplay as a deity and no one should be offended.
I agree. Only issue with this is when you say "white people". Do you mean Slavic, Germanic, Caucasian, Latin, Turkic, Celtic or Scandinavian?? Let's be more specific.
I hate how they don't actually address Beyonce on if what she did was considered cultural appropriation or not. They immediately dismiss her just because "she's Beyonce". If a smaller artist had done it they would have been canceled in a heartbeat. I was genuinely interested about hearing both sides on wither it was appropriation or appreciation. Dismissing an action based on someone's fame takes away the whole point of having a conversation.
The part with justifying Beyoncé made her argument invalid and less effective
Asha Blue C’est vrai
That big ass moment made me "awwww" so hard.
Which is "cultural appropriation?" A white woman with corn rows or a black woman with straightened hair?
a fat black chick sporting the name "Dulce". Mamma Mia!
Appropriation has a specific context. The second example is cultural assimilation, where a minority tries to fit in with the majority to make their lives easier. This historically has often been mandated by law and nowadays tends to be about social discrimination. A white woman in cornrows is making a choice to engage with a single element of black culture while being unlikely to face the criticism that black women themselves do. Black hair is still highly politicised because afro hair texture historically came with serious consequences in the US (Chris Rock did a great documentary about this called Good Hair). For a white woman, it's just another hairstyle. If it were also that for black women, there wouldn't be an issue.
If they only straighten their hair to fit in, then why don't they all go full michael jackson?
Lol why don't all black people have vitiligo and body dysmorphia? Skin bleaching is extremely common in most Asian countries and is a multi-billion dollar industry (like the black hair industry) so yeah, it happens. Light skin people were given higher social standing even during slavery. Nothing to do with appropriation tho.
Brian C i am black and my hair is naturally straight and why you saying straight hair is only for whites many cultures have them tf
So if I as a white woman wanted to wear a kimono because I found them beautiful and then I went out and researched the proper way to wear it, bought one from a Japanese seamstress and then had an expert in Japanese culture help me put it on I’m still appropriating the culture because I’m white. That sounds like a bunch of bullshit, I didn’t decide my race just like you didn’t decide yours. Because if I went the exact opposite way and said “well I would never wear a kimono cause I don’t like them.” Then I’d be considered a horrible racist
2.03 : that dimple, heart melts
Mh hmm, Dulce is one sweet mama!! :)
"Big butts used to be considered undesirable."
When the hell was this? 😳 How big are we talking about?
I love her.....she's just amazing!
cultural apropiation is so vage this days that i don't know anymore. As a mexican White man, now i could get in trouble for using a tipical folk clouthing from my own state ( Yucatán) and people would think that i'm insensitive despite that it is MY OWN culture, which i'm very proud of.
Every one appropriating white culture but no one complains ? The hypocracy is disgusting
I love, love, LOVE this lady!
I'm dying omg I can't breath!! (Look at big butts) trevor-i always try to ;)
I usually agree with the opinions presented on this show, but this was just... ugh. Everything that could be wrong with this argument was.
-pulled the slavery card
-dismissed counterexamples
-gave no evidence that this was causing any harm
-white people aren't supposed to like big butts??
-no one owns culture
This is so far left that honestly, I think things like are part of the reason some white people think THEY are being discriminated against. Like seriously, let white people rock dreads if they wanna. Can you imagine the backlash if this wen't the other way? "Black people can't wear suits." This was some backwards thinking, racist-ass logic.
"I always try to" awww yesssssssssss
She didn't really address what Beyonce did. She just made a joke off of it. Hypocritical
"come get on this boat!!"..I can't breathe 😂😂
😂😅😆
In love with her! This show is full of talented people!
ABSOLUTE FUCKING SAVAGE! LOVE IT
La La Land is not about a white dude saving jazz ,it's about a white dude who loves jazz and there's nothing tong with that.
The example you showed for Native American was actually Inuit, and I think it was more of an Indian bride than a goddess but I appreciate Trevor giving an honest argument against the fuss. Although with the Beyoncé one she didn’t really have a great argument for it.
