I think it’s probably reasonable to take offense to black face because I’m pretty sure it’s always done with the intention to mock people. With headdresses I don’t think that applies at all. But no, I don’t know the history of headdresses, and I could be wrong. Both things still aren’t inherently offensive, and cultural appropriation is still a bullshit concept.

Sometimes it is absolutely reasonable to take offense. Black face is probably one of those times. I think you’re the one missing the point. Also, wearing a piece of clothing isn’t the same as “shitting on their culture”, at all. Crazy how stating obvious truth can be considered an edgelord take lmao. Think better man.
Nothing is inherently offensive. People take offense to things. Sometimes reasonably so. In the scenario you laid out I think it would be insane to take offense to that.
Cultural appropriation is a bullshit concept only the dimmest of wits take seriously.
Such nonsense advice. People in retail often treat eachother terribly, this idea that you won’t be mean if you’ve had the experience is a pipe dream. Assholes will be assholes whatever their experiences are.

3·5 months agoI tried peanut butter and jam because I always heard it being talked about in American movies (am European). It was a waste of both imo. Peanut butter and chocolate sprinkles is the way to go if you must add something to peanut butter. Jam is best on its own.

If you take the concept of cultural appropriation seriously you are a dimwit. Knowing ‘the history’ of a specific piece of clothing does not change that.
