the evolution of appropriation

  • White people: Your culture is backwards and savage.
  • PoC: You're a fucking racist, now get out.
  • White people: But I do like this part of it.... I think I'll just take that. Thanks.
  • PoC: But you can't just take that--
  • White people: Too late, took it already.
  • PoC: Fuck.
  • White people: Actually, all aspects of your culture are foreign and cute, and I think I'll just take all of it! Don't you feel appreciated?
  • PoC: My culture is not "cute", it's legitimate, please stop illegitimizing it!
  • White People: You know, now that you mention it, I just... I don't feel white. I feel like I belong to your culture very intimately. I'm TransPoC.
  • PoC: My identity is not a costume! You're not me, stop taking my identity!
  • White people: Stop being racist. I'm celebrating you with this. Accept it. Stop erasing my identity!
