- What is cultural appropriation? Is it okay for a white person to celebrate the culture of a nonwhite country? Will Witt took to UCLA and Olvera Street -City of Lost Angels (L.A.) to find out!

My generation loves being offended *for* other people who aren’t offended
lmao
My generation is full of sensitive cucks
No kidding...👍😂
You're telling me.
That's offensive!

Did she just say, he doesn’t understand what wearing a poncho means? Lol it means people were cold one day and decided to wear them.
Haha, that's what I was thinking.
There meant to be CARPETS OR TABLE CLOTHS!! we have our OWN BLANKETS!!!
it's actually for protecting your self from the wind and the sun (or if you wanna look cool) but i guess it CAN protect from cold.
ISEYTHETEETHSNAKE ponchos are made to be warn. Serapes are made for decoration and traditional outfits
Same for sombreros, they were made to protect you from the sun.
Non Mexicans: Oh My god thats so offensive!
Mexicans: Nice Drip Brother
and it aint even a dbz hoodie
copied word for word
I´m Mexican, born, raised and still living in Mexico, it's NOT offensive.
I'm also Mexican and I am a little offended by his costume.
@@juanperezlopez751 que pendejo
Im white,born, raised and still living in US, its not offensive

@@oldleonel4091 creo que lo más me entristece es reconocer un ejemplo de la ignorancia de mi país en tu comentario.
People that are not Mexican: That’s so RACIST!!!
Real Mexicans: Damn you look guapo my friend.
El Marino 623 serio
The Mexican guy said a key sentence....your in the right atmosphere....and most mexicans got mad with his fake mustache

@@elmarino6235 right unnecessary do they took it off
While I was in Japan I met a guy that was wearing cowboy hat, flannel shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. Chatted with him, and he loved ‘America’. He loved oldies and country music, and liked cheeseburgers and southern food. Was a Japanese guy who in his mind loved the parts of America he was passionate about, and obsessed over it. Was I about to school him on how just one cultural aspect isn’t all of America? No, man. He was proud to show his love for what he thought America was. I guarantee if he wore his getup and paraded his love in the US there would be a bunch of people stopping him and saying “uH AcTuAlLy, ThAts JuST TeXAs, US iS moRe ThAn THat”
Cracks me up that people think NYC when you say New York, as if the rest of the state doesn’t exist. I drove through upstate rural New York once and holy cow I was not expecting the amount of redneck. It may surprise a lot of people, myself included, that most of the US is pretty “southern” once you leave the horrid cesspool cities
I met a Japanese taxi driver in Australia once who was wearing cowboy hat and playing country music Maybe I should have told him off ?? not
I think it goes to show when lefties are taking it a bit too far when GENUINE MEXICANS do not care
As a mexican conservative values of USA represent the mexico ideal and objetive of human which means that these ideals of mexico are perfectly represented by USA white culture so to have these Mexican culture USA citizens just have to follow its own ideals and then for me you are now 100% mexican as me if you want to be 100% mexican the half of mexico is white and the other half want to be white mexico isn´t a non white culture
@@Jose19310in Mexico the majority is mestizo mexico would be better described as a mixed race and a multi cultural country
As a Mexican I approve everyone enjoy our culture, our culture is contagious and welcoming and we’re proud of that
You don’t think his mustache is offensive? He’s literally freeing up as a stereotypical Mexican man.
@@Dolphinboi Nope as another fellow Mexican it doesn't offend me, it makes me happy that someone is celebrating my culture by wearing that
@@DolphinboiIt is offensive because you think negative for short
Exactly
@@Dolphinboiwhy do so many people assume that would be racist tho? England is well known for your average bald bloke with an england shirt on, if a foreign person shaved there head it wouldnt find it offensive at all
We Mexicans laugh off everything. Its very Mexican to turn everything into humor actually.
Agreed
True that!! Hope we never turn out like that!!

@retro bts es un traje típico Mexicano, bro, como los kimonos con los Japoneses. no se están burlando de nada.
Thanks for tacos
@s 400 🙏
Why they are "offended" when it is NOT their culture?!
I am confused.
It's really offense appropriation, hypocrites never see their own hypocrisy.
Because they are asshole..... that explains a LOTTA things
Yeah sounds racist or something close, they think Mexicans cant speak for themselves so they feel the need to speak for them
The lefties are confused as well! they don't even realize how THEY "appropriate" other cultures every single day!
Because people like to make themselves look like they are "better" than others. Virtue signaling. =)
I showed my dad his outfit. My dad wasn’t offended by it. In fact, he was shocked when he learned that people did 😭 he said (word for word) “they should be offended for their brains. They should also be offended for being white trash”
Lmao I say the same shit

Im 50% Greek . My dad was born there.
If we saw someone with a traditional Greek outfit, we would be thrilled!
Όντως!
Are you really 50% Greek? Because that would mean all of your ascendance (from your dad's side) is completely Greek, which is completely unlike because of what the turks did there
A friend of mine is Mexican and he told me how he is annoyed how people think wearing sombrero hats is offensive. He told me there were people offended about sombreros and panchos in the Super Mario Odyssey.

They call those bended tostada a taco, that's the real offense. *SMH*
@@eddnox YES, they say "oh, a taco shell" like what????
Al chile, si
As a Mexican, I can tell you the true meaning behind his outfit:
Hat- Fashionably blocks the sun
Poncho- Also epic fashion choice
Maracas- Music enhancers
Mustache- 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒊𝒓
Where did the whole thing about the Maracas comes from? I have never seen a mariachi, or any musician related to música ranchera with Maracas.
@@issustaita Not in today's music, but still part of the history
LMFAO 😹
Se me hace raro llamarlo poncho. Seria mas correcto decirle sarape, no?
If I may add, there are different kind of ponchos or sarapes. The one on this video can be found in the native culture of Michoacan, around the town of Janitzio. Once the kids start acquiring certain responsibilities and learning some cultural habits, dances and jobs, they give them their own poncho, with a unique design. That one will be with them until it's worn out or doesn't fit anymore, which is hard because they are made very big and very sturdy. It's one way to let the community know "this boy is ready to be a man and is to be taken seriously".
Notice how the atmosphere changes like if you were in another country as soon as he enters the Mexican store alley, the colors, the warmth of the people, the vibes, the happiness, how kind the people are, amazing.
I’m japanese, and one of my friends loves Chicano/Chicana culture. (It’s an ethnic identity for Mexican Americans who have a non-Anglo self-image, embracing their Mexican Native ancestry, in case you don’t know)
She paints beautiful illustrations of chicanas, also she loves dressing up like a chicana and posting it on her instagram. Oneday, a girl from the US sent her a dm and insulted her drawing, also her being a fan of that culture by saying ‘it’s my culture! Not yours!!’
She was shocked and sad, she even stopped drawing for a while since then.
I was also sad, because all she does is based on her respect and love for the culture.
In japan we love other cultures too, my college had a huge community that was called “African culture studies”, they play African instruments after classes and seemed so fun.
Also I love Native American jewelry so much, there are many ppl around me who wears those Native American jewelry, because we love the craftsmanship.
We just love other cultures respectfully as much as we love our culture
That girl that sent that DM is not a true chicana. We want to spread our culture to as many people as we can. We love seeing people embrace our culture. I'm very sorry that your friend had to go through that. I really appreciate what your friend is doing and hope she is doing well!
As a member of a family of a bunch of real chicano cholos. I can safely say that the person who dm'ed your friend is more of a fake then your Japanese friend. Cause I've met dozens of Eastern Asian, islander, white, and even European/middle Eastern homegirls that dress the part because they're down for their shit. And I wish she told my homegirl Kim that. With her big old hoops and pencil eyebrows. That looks so damn good in Loks in a flannel... What was I saying? 🤣 Tell your friend to love what she loves. Sending her Chicana card in the mail. Don't trip we don't need addresses there's always a homie who knows a homie who knows their homegirl who lives right by her. LMAO.
I'm Spanish and read your comment. There are so many Japanese people fascinated by Spanish culture, food and flamenco dancing, and I ALWAYS LOVE and feel very proud that they want to learn, dress and know more about it. Don't stop it, we love it and we send you ❤❤❤
As a Mexican person. I never even knew of the concept of “cultural appropriation” until I was living in an English speaking country and at first, had a really tough time wrapping my head around it. Because to me wearing a costume or a traditional outfit of a culture other than yours, is more like a compliment and an aknowledgement than anything else.
@retro bts calla cagada
rodrigo vargas there’s is not such thing as cultural appropriation unless someone is blatantly mocking and disrespecting someone’s culture which rarely happens. They can’t even define it themselves, I’ve even heard people say you need to be given permission by certain race to do or wear something.... so who tf is this permission giver, load of bs. Massive L
rodrigo vargas From what I can see, its hypocrisy, the intent/motivation behind using another culture, or if you portray a culture in a way that devalues and disrespects it if that makes sense. It’s complicated yes, but Poc’s cultures have been mocked throughout history and looked down upon for so long that it makes sense for poc in the west to want to protect a part of our identity when ppl nowadays suddenly want to use other ppls culture for aesthetics and are praised for it (ie kim kardasian and boxer braids or kimonos). I really don’t think it necessary to know the history behind a culture to use smt or even ask for permission (unless it’s for a project or smt) But it really all comes down to the user’s intent
rodrigo vargas ? Sorry What part of my comment were you replying to or what part did you think I got wrong?
rodrigo vargas ok, I specifically meant the US bc that’s what I’m familiar with, sorry for not being specific enough.
Actual mexican here, it's not offensive at all, carry on.
Same.
Same I don’t understand why white people are offended
Same. I know my family would think it’s funny or that he looks nice jaja
And if you put on a hat with POLAND onit, I would think it's cool because you dig Poland, or perhaps Polish food.
Same
To the lady who said you don't understand the meaning of the Sombrero. Let me explain, mi tio (my uncle) explained this to me when I was young.
The sombrero is a hat. It provides shade when you are standing in the sun. Consider yourself educated.
Thank you.
you learn something new everyday
Truly a wise man, I thank you for blessing me with such knowledge.
Tu tio is very knowledgeable.
Please ask him if it truly is needed to eat that god damn worm..

Mexicans are born wherever they want
Louis CK is Mexican. Think about that shit for a minute.
Canelo Alvarez, red headed Mexican.
But he's not
He looks like a norteño mexican, I have primos whiter than him LOL
The concept of cultural appropriation is technically racist in of itself. It enforces the idea that people can't adopt or appreciate certain parts of cultures from different groups because of an inherent "ownership" of said cultures from those same groups that others cannot possess because of their inherent differences. It creates unnecessary racial tension and barriers between groups and only serves to drive people apart rather than bring together.
Wise words good sir/madam. Very well said!.
At 1:26 she put her hands on him and laughs, charge her now!!
We mexicans feel flattered when someone adopts something from our culture, we feel joy and acknowledgement, not angry
@Chris Ruiz it's a stereotype but idc i thought it was funny
@Chris Ruiz si we cuanta gente no se compra esos bigotes para usarlos xdxd
@Chris Ruiz No one said that ... but bunch of tios have a mustache resembling that wey
I love Mexican food. I lived in Mexico for a while, the people and food was so amazing. I love Mexico, the culture, history and food.
We see a Güero dressed like that.. ven aquí y échate unos tragos y tacos.

You know, because... Feelings or something

As a Mexican I do not find his outfit offensive at all. Yes, it's a stereotypical and antique outfit that a few Mexicans use to wear a long time ago but lighten up. Us Mexicans love a sense of humor and we always pun each other and make jokes with double meaning which is known as "albur or alburear" in Spanish. I can guarantee you all that nearly every Mexican will not find his outfit offensive so please stop getting offended on our behalf. Thank you.
I mean there’s Mariachi dresses, vaqueros, etc. different types of clothing for Mexicans.
Logical Goldfish ¿donde en Mexico naciste?
@@texanboiii562 no naci en Mexico. Naci en California pero mis padres son de Mexico y me crearon como Mexicano.
lol, this is true, lighten -the hell- up people :P
Logical Goldfish entonces no eres Mexicano tu eres Mestizo-Americano. Mexicano es una nacionalidad no raza. Mexico es tu patrimonio no tu patria hay una diferencia.
Also it’s to be stated that it takes a lot offend a Mexican because we often joke at our own expense. Hell our nicknames our parents give us at a young age are insults essentially lol because we don’t take ourselves seriously. I love our culture because it’s so inclusive we celebrate 🎉 those who wish to party with us!
Crazy how they comment on someone else's culture when they don't even know about that culture.
Americans: OFFENSIVE
Mexicanos: Que elegancia la de Francia
Hahaha Te mamaste

Oh gosh, I thought that this was a weird Polish saying but it turns out it has a Spanish equivalent? Languages, much wow :D
"you dont know what it means to wear those things" poncho means he was cold sombrero means it was sunny and maraca means it party time
That's fact bro
lets gooo party time

Yeah, the people who get offended if you ask someone who happens to not be white where they're from, will insist that someone who was born in Japan, lived their whole life in Japan and was shaped entirely by Japanese culture and society isn't ACTUALLY Japanese if they're white. So... they still wouldn't have considered him Mexican, even if he HAD been, lol. Two opposite sets of rules for whites and everyone else respectively.
There are Mexicans that are light skinned. I have met them.

Mexicans are so cute and glorious people ☺ I had a story. During a trip to Japan, I went to the Yukata sale store. The seller (of course, the Japanese woman) said that my butt should not stick out like that, but in general I look great. My Japanese friend said that he was proud that Japanese national clothing is popular all over the world and Yukata looks great. I live alone and sometimes put it on my little holidays or when I have a great mood. Once my neighbour (as white as me) saw me. She told me that I behaved inappropriately, rudely and stole someone else's culture. After that, she stopped greeting me.
The old man at 2:26 reminds me of my grandfather, he used to laugh at my mustacho just like him. I miss him alot. RIP grandpa Dueñes.
I am mexican, I am not offended. It's the same madness with Speedy Gonzales were the ones who were offended were white people and we, mexicans, love Speedy Gonzales
I think the folks that aren't offended are smart enough to realize that this is a COSTUME. I've interacted with LOTS of Mexicans and have never seen anyone wearing this type of outfit.

Seriously! I'm Italian, but if someone who isn't said I should be upset because other people who aren't were "appropriating my culture" by eating pasta or singing opera in the shower, I'd think they were nuts! Contrary to what the liberals try to tell you, most people are actually happy to see their respective cultures celebrated and genuinely appreciated by others. Let's face it - in a world in which so many cultures exist, it's gonna happen, and that's not a "bad" thing.

Their social media circles inform them what to be offended by. To be as inclusive as they believe they are being, they should include these minorities into their social media circles so they can truly understand what to be offended by.
Its mind control by the communist professors.
That last "Mexican" spoke English without a trace of an accent and was dressed like any American student. I suspect he was born in the USA to Mexican parents and is repeating the typical second-generation immigrant experience. BTW, you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy Levy's Real Jewish Rye, or gefilte fish or matza.
desertkitsune - if you asked them if Stalin was bad they’d say yes, and if you asked them why there’d be *crickets* too. Kids just believe what they are taught and never care to understand anything deeper. It’s especially bad when the things they are taught are also completely wrong - like the existence and evils of cultural appropriation. Their quick response was the same as stating that pi is 3.14 - they believe it’s true with all their heart but don’t know much beyond that.

@@rayray9865 logan paul i think who went to Japan to be honest that was disrespectful not everyone from the US is like that i swear
@@rayray9865 also a Japanese studio made some game about knights and western stuff, and they nailed it.
non mexicans: *take that off its offensive*
mexicans: *you look dope man*
As a Mexican i gasped when she tore off the mustache. Like no no no no no. ¡Quédate con el bigote, esa es la mejor parte!
You look GUAPO
non Mexicans = american people
in this case
@@hanpar9688 same bro fue como
QUITA TUS SUCIAS MANOS DE SU HERMOSOS BIGOTE
As a Mexican, if I saw this outfit I would just laugh
Never get cultural appropriation mixed with cultural appreciation
Why are the actual minorities rarely offended?
because its a bunch of bs and no one cares
Because mexicans bag on each other anyway. If anything they enjoy the joking and shit talking.
Jaiden Garcia because their teachers didn’t teach them to be offended.
Because they dont care and they know that's not actually how they look like
Cause usually I think they have actual problems to worry about
"do you think liking mexican food is cultural appropriation?"
"no..."
"but it's stealing their culture"
"ERROR SYSTEM_LOGIC_PROCESS.EXE HAS STOPPED RESPONDING"
I'm Canadian I have no problem with other countries including U.S trying to make poutine. I say trying because I have never good poutine in the U.S
Ahh error code NPC.
Lol, he straight up destroyed her argument with one statement lamp,that was great
LOVE!
memory leak
As a chicano myself, here's my take: if you're wearing it to insult and make fun of Mexicans, it's offensive. If you're wearing it to celebrate and participate in Mexican culture, then I thank you for recognizing the beauty of the culture and wanting to enjoy the things that make it vibrant.
Even if the intention was to be offensive, people are still free to do so
It's called agreeing to disagreeing
@@JeyC_ I said if they were intending to be offensive, then they were. I never said they couldn't do it. People can do what they like, as long as the safety and rights of others are not violated.
As a mexican, Im offended that I dont have that poncho.
Most Mexicans will not find that offensive, heck we protested to have Speedy Gonzales put back on tv because he was taken off due to people (most likely not Mexicans) finding him offensive.
We've still got Rapid Dave.
speedy gonzales was taken off the cartoon hay no señor
I miss speedy!!
Mexican here, we don't find this offensive. I would laugh at him, tho.
Oooh i remember that cartoon watched it my whole childhood here in Croatia
Such nonsense. Wearing clothing from another cultural isn't appropriation, it's cultural appreciation!
J.D. Hague wonder how many of those jackholes claim offense because of cultural appreciation, but have Asian or Indian iconography tattooed on their arms, chests, ass, or as tramp stamps?
I grew up with the notion that if you wore it for the reason of appreciating a cultue even if it was a costume event. That said, i do think learning about the meaning and history of the outfit would truly show an appreciation and understanding of the culture albiet a brief one. Humans also learn new things visually and a person seeing themselves as that outfit is expressing curiosity about that culture. There are those who wear to it to enforce stereotypes and mock the culture and that is why the term was coined, but it's a stifling overreaction that blocks the idea that the culture can only be appricited from a distance, and it blocks the community itself by not allowing people to wear it as he illustrated in segment.
I agree.....The problem is that I guarantee you he didnt mention that he was conservative trump supporter....and he didnt bother to tell them how really felt about Mexicans...so in that sense, it wasn't appreciation of culture whatsoever.
Seriously, everyone driving a BMW isn't appropriating the German culture, they are appreciating it. Man lefties probably have IQs similar to Pygmys.
As a Mexican I can tell that he has my blessing to dress like that, and if he likes it, please enjoy it. Those coats (sarapes?) are so comfy to be around the house on a cold winter evening.
When she said “you don’t look Mexican,” how is that nor racist?? Judging him by his skin color??
Yeeess
I know, I HATE how americans thinks that you need to be brown skinned for being mexican or latino. Like wtf
My cousins are Mexican and look white af colored eyes brunette or blonde. Nothing like confusing Nationality (Mexican) with race
Yes, there are light skinned Mexicans.
Oraneg Samot it goes the other way around too. I’m European but I’m just a little more dark skinned than most. So when people find our where I’m from, they’re response is always, “oh, you’re not Mexican?” It is what it is. I don’t have the mental state of a snowflake so i don’t care and I’m not offended like these Americans in this video. It’s not even about them and they’re offended. Give me a break.
Me, as a mexican, was watching the begining of the video and asking to myself: "why are they offended by that?" Honestly, I find it hilarious. Then he went with mexicans and I understood it wasn't just me.
Guys, we don't care if you use a mostacho or a sombrero. We are more than happy to share our traditions to the world, and you are more than welcome to come to México any time you want and learn about our beautiful culture, and so we can learn about yours.
Bien dicho!
I understand what you mean and I also will agree that I love when people learn our culture but the problem is that not all Hispanic people are going to agree with you and we have to respect those opinions as well. We don’t know if he studies our culture. Him also asking only 5 Hispanics if they found his outfit offensive is not speaking of the majority of Hispanics. That is why sometimes I feel like this guy really didn’t show the other side of opinion from other Hispanics. If he really wanted this to be an educational video he would have spoken to other Hispanics that did found this outfit offensive.
@@paolagarcia9425 I can see you're american then. I'm not latina or hispanic but just americans care about "culture appropriation"
@@paolagarcia9425 OMG, Nobody in Mexico would feel offended. Nobody in Latin America would find something like this offensive. And I am from Central America and have family in Mexico as well. Nobody, except Americans or people living in America care about this crap.
@@paolagarcia9425 I mean, when americans come to our country we push them to use these outfits 🤣 we love to see them enjoying our culture, and nobody gets offended
An actual example of cultural appropriation was when Disney tried to have the rights for the name "day of the Dead" in Mexico in order to sell Coco merchandise, obviously they didn't got shit, meanwhile a dude cosplaying Mexico is not even a bad thing.
As a Mexican girl, I get SO happy whenever people represent Mexican culture.
I love how they see us as cheery, friendly, and party like people. It just feels good when people celebrate your culture like that.
I’m offended by the fact that he’s wearing the sombrero backwards.
Luis Chavez jajaja x2
X3 jajajaja
I was gonna say that too 🤣🤣🤣
I'm Mexican and our job had a taco party, and I suggest we all wear sombreros! And one of our coworkers was like "no! It's racist and bah bah." And even I WASN'T allowed to wear one! Like wtf!!!!
Joeyblondewolf2 You are such a disappointment to your race!! Don't you know white people know what's best for you! ;)
That old cartoon Speedy Gonzalez is no more because of stereotypes... as well as his cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez.
@@outdoorsguy I liked his cousin LOL
@@emilyvilla3151 You think the Mexicans selling the panchos and sombreros don't care about their culture because they sell them to what people?
@@emilyvilla3151People have moved and conquered each other since the beginning of human existence. Language has evolved in this way. English is a combination of a variety of languages, therefore it is the universal language. You're not saying anything to forward any kind of a cause, it's been well known and criticized for decades what the conquistadors did, but you're having an issue with it now? Do you really think that if that didn't happen you would be a true pure what... Mayan, Incan, Native lineage?
Americans: That's cultural appropriation!
Mexicans: nice outfit
