]]> he (he | she | they deserve) honestly deserves, then you deprive him (him | her | them) of a sense of justice and make him (him | her | them) an enemy. A person cannot receive benefits because of their skin color, nationality or orientation. Even if a person's parents were discriminated against, this does not mean that they can receive compensation for it. Everyone should be responsible for themselves and get what they deserve. I do not feel the guilt of a white man in front of representatives of other races. Also, the absence of women's rights in the past does not give them the right to take them away from men now. I stand for the equal rights and opportunities for all people in the world. (very strong & persuasive argumentation!) What examples of cultural appropriation have you seen yourself? The most famous example of cultural appropriation is the musical borrowings of African American music. The first was Elvis Presley, then rap artists continuosed continued. The concept of cultural appropriation seems to be destructive and meaningless for me. All cultures borrow from each other. We live in one common world where everyone influences each other. It can be said that learning foreign languages or cooking dishes from other cuisines are also an appropriation of someone else's culture. But in fact, these are common values that belong to everyone. The more we borrow good things from others, the richer and more interesting our own culture becomes. We all wear jeans and eat spaghetti - this can also be called cultural appropriation. But this did not make American or Italian cultures poorer, but on the contrary increased their influence. In general, I am not personally familiar with any of the examples when cultural borrowing made damage to another culture]]> 80
