that's giving up too damn much.

no it's not

[Trotskilicious]

the alternatives, like clownshoes, are funnier

[Shallowed]

Being offended by this is like being offended at white people performing a haka.

[Trotskilicious]

why do white people get so upset when someone is offended by their appropriation of elements of their culture

[duovamp]

I get so pissed when people drink English beers.

I'm not upset...?

[Trotskilicious]

ok, defensive

[Shallowed]

Well okay, I imagine white people get defensive when someone is offended by their appropriation of the offendee's culture because it's kind of a harmless thing to do.

It's not like wearing a headdress and singing faux-Native American chants is glorifying the numerous massacres that happened between Native Americans and American settlers. It's not like any white person performing a haka is glorifying tribes of Maori that traded goods for muskets and killed off the tribes that didn't have muskets. That is something that would offend anyone, especially someone of that ethnic descent.

this is terribly short-sighted

[Shallowed]

Also no-one seems to get offended when black people "act white", in fact saying that a black person "acts white" is offensive in itself.

what the fuck

it's not up to you to decide how minorities should respond to a thoughtless appropriation of their culture? and it's not up to you to decide whether or not its a big deal?

[Eulogy]

you're like those racist idiots on twitter who made sure to point out that joel ward was a "nigger" the other night and defended themselves by saying it was no big deal

Shit dude, I know that a lot of things aren't up to me. If it were up to me whether or not people could get offended at this, I wouldn't stop them from being offended. I never even said that it was up to me anyway.

If someone is offended by something, what do you do? You can either
1) apologise for doing what you did that offended them and cease whatever it was that was offending someone
2) apologise for doing what you did that offended them, understand why it's offensive and why someone is offended, and try to help the offendee understand that they're not trying to be offensive, you're just having some fun and dressing up or whatever. Try to make a compromise basically.
3)Tell them to fuck off, offending them further and getting nowhere

Did you see this poster campaign last year? What did you think of it?

so is it harmless, or is it not up to you to decide whether or not it's harmless?

You said that I thought it was up to me whether or not someone should be offended, not whether or not it's harmless.

Even still, I'm not trying to say that I'm deciding it is harmless. When I said "it's harmless" I meant to say that that is how I see it. I didn't think I needed to prefix it with "in my opinion".

lol see if something is offensive i wouldn't deem it "harmless."

you really put yourself in the weeds here for no real reason. good luck getting out.

I used quote marks because it's what other people say and believe, but I don't really believe to be true. It's easier than saying "black people that act in a way that others would claim to be in the manner of a white person"

Do you get offended when a black person "acts white"? Do you know of anyone that does get offended?

And if that doesn't work, then go with option 1 and concede defeat to the fact that you offended someone.

I'm not sure you're wording this properly. It might be me. The post I quoted, I was confused because you said "no one gets offended when a black person 'acts white'.".

Why would anyone get offended if a person of color acts white?

[Shallowed]

Because it's offensive to some people for white people to act anything other than white.
