      It is not your viewers you need to ask (unless they are Vietnamese) ask the Vietnamese people if they mind you wearing them. Personally if you are wearing something because it is practical there should not be a problem.

      Riley,
      Go listen to Anthony Keidis's comments on cultural appropriation from Joe Rogan's show a few months back. If done respectfully, there's not much in modern Western culture that couldn't be looked at as "appropriation." We all borrow a little bit from here and there to shape our own tastes. As Media says, there's no bigger sign of love and respect than appropriation.

    As someone who is Asian, specifically born and raised in here, there's nothing wrong with the thumbnail 😊. Its a hat that is commonly used in this part of the world by locals or visitors since that particular type of hat works really well in the type of weather that we have here since it's breathable. As for cultural appropriation in terms of Asian culture, I think Riley is right that respect really is the key when exposing one's self to new culture, especially one that's completely different than your own. As long as what you do is with respect and comes from a place of learning, everything will be fine ☺. Also, i guess what's best really is to talk to a local and ask them about their culture! Enjoy your stay here in South East Asia!

      Instead of asking the people who don't live there about cultural appropriation of that culture, ask the local people's opinion and see their reactions. As rnkl is. Here in the states it seems the majority of people who are offended by something like that have no ties or association to the culture.

    I have to be honest with you; your personal levels of respect for your surroundings have always been completely appropriate. You have a wonderful level of multi-culturalism because of your extensive travels. I cannot imagine that purchasing and wearing cultural/local clothing is anything but respectful and, most of all, supportive of the people.
    You become an asset to the community with your purchases.

      @smudgybuzz Год назад +4

      I believe culture should be shared, exchanged, and borrowed freely so that humanity can grow; and so that we can connect with one another. After all, imitation and appropriation belies the affinity one has for another. Having said that, are you from a dominant culture? Yes. Is that problematic? Somewhat. However by acknowledging that you are doing it, and most importantly that that piece of culture belongs to someone else, in the video goes a long way towards mitigating it. You are being responsible. So, I judge you to be correct.

      @@SailingLaVagabonde I liked what Riley said about the scale, and I think the scale is between appreciation and appropriation, the two can look the same sometimes, but everyone wants to their culture to be respected. There are areas in the world where it is generally considered rude not dress and conform to the culture you are visiting. Communicate, empathy and being open goes a long way, especially to those that do not share our views.

    Oh my gosh, I'm blown away at Melly's vigilance! Did you see her grab that oat milk Lenny knocked at the same time as being distracted by the camera and Elayna?! Wow and so amazing with the kids. She's going to be a bloody super nanny she is...move over Mary Poppins that's for sure ha. Hi Melly! 👋 You're going to be a wonderful addition for this time spent.
    I am not from Asia but I certainly would assume there is absolutely nothing wrong with embracing one's culture by wearing what they wear. When in Rome.
    Plus when political leaders go to summits in other countries they don said countries local attire. Nothing wrong with it, totally appropriate.
    It's annoys me how sensitive the world has become.
    Thanks for another epic video guys, really happy for you to be on the next chapter of your lives and even more grateful that you've brought us along.

Then stayed over at the Gili islands. You couldn't stay overnight then but maybe has changed. Great place to park a boat.

Many cultures welcome teaching others to participate in the way they live. Sharing the experience. I truly believe it's got more to do with intention. Is you intention to uplift and educate said culture, or to look down on and judge. I love the thumb nail!

    Welcome to Bali! So glad to hear you've decided on this magical place as your home base - good choice. Bali has been my home for 4 years so please feel free to hit me up next time you guys come through if you need resources, recommendations, or connection with the community here. Happy to help in any way.
    As for the thumbnail: I'm not Balinese but I will say they LOVE IT when you take time to learn about their culture, participate in their ceremonies, and wear their traditional garb. They love new people coming to the island, to learn about their culture, and to teach about theirs. From what I know of their kind hearts, it would make them happy to see you wear the hat the farmers wear as they tend to the rice fields. The culture here is more inclusive, not as judgemental as in other places around the world (especially in Ubud) and we all look out for one another. As for cultural appropriation - maybe a lesson about the hats and the culture will show appreciation for these kind people.

    Imitation is a high form of flattery. Celebrating another culture other than your own is a sign of respect. Greatly satisfying and tremendously safe travels to you and your family. The stupid behavior of a ‘goose frat boy’ should not be the scale on which to measure appropriation, yet it can be a scale to measure education. Bigotry and hatred are learned responses to differences in all humans (who literally are 99.98% identical at the cellular level). I love this vlog! Happy Christmas!

Happy days for you ahead, both with this venture and your trimaran 😊

    I'm a white 45 year old man from Australia. I'm definitely obligated and I feel it's necessary to comment and tell you that I'm right about this. Totally fine to wear a hat made in Asia. Come to think of it...most of the hats I own are made in China.

    Lenny literally grew up between these last two videos. Such a big boy now and Darwin wobbling along. So to your question Riley. I'm white born and raised in Canada and my husband is black, born and raised in Kenya. When I was there recently I had a dress made for me from traditional fabric. It's not often that I have an opportunity to wear it back home but when I do I feel like I'm representing a culture that I love personally and because it is half of our children's DNA. Some would say I shouldn't wear it. I think we're pretty close on that sliding scale. You too are representing a community a culture with, as you said, love, appreciation and respect. When in doubt, ask the locals. :)

    I heard a great quote, to learn the difference between appropriation and appreciation. You are appreciating their culture and embracing it. I went to a high school there the schools symbol was a Native American chief. We worked hand and hand with the tribe to educate the community about their tribe and history. We appreciated their culture.

  • @fergo9923
    @fergo9923 Год назад +9

    I think you’ve made very respectful decisions regarding culture appropriation and not just in Bali, I remember a an episode of you talking about Bahamas (I think) and even though you explained there were rough areas as such that everywhere has places with not the most stand up people. When it comes to outfits, the language you use and the information you learn about the places to make accurate statement and give us all a little bit more insight I personally think you all do an amazing job. After watching you and keeping up with you every week I think it’s safe to say that both of you are doing your best to show all of your viewers a look at an alternative lifestyle and without showing the things that could be classed as cultural appropriation but the way you do it is definitely just a respectful way of enjoying, experiencing and sharing in other country and religions cultures 😂 also just to add, your boys are so lucky to have you both! You spoil them with adventure and in this day and age that is usually looked over compared to an iPad or something expensive to buy

    Poor Lenny :( He probably caught the sickness in the planes - they are the worst for that. Hope he feels better soon! Question: Does he have pumps? My daughter was a bit like Lenny and her doctor prescribed two kinds of pumps (one blue and one orange) and it saved her many times. The blue one opens the bronchi, wait 5 minutes and give the orange pumps (which is the medication). It was magical! I'm sure you have medication that helps him

It’s easy to get the nebules of prednisone, ventolin or atrovent (for example) prescribed worldwide to help with Lenny’s breathing. And even use as a preventative.

    Loved the episode as usual. Great content. Lenny’s “oh snap” face when he got white paint on his hand, was hysterical.
    I am born and raised in Mexico by a French mother and unless you are obviously disrespecting my culture, you won’t hear a peep out of me. Dressing or looking like someone from a different culture, for the most part, means you like the look and want to copy it for yourself and that’s great. Don’t get me started on the whole ridiculous wokeness topic.
