Appropriation cultures are concepts related to the adoption of cultural elements of minorities by members of dominant cultures. It is distinguished from the same cultural exchange due to the presence of the colonial element and the imbalance of power. Especially in the 21st century, cultural deprivation is often described as dangerous in contemporary culture, and is claimed to be a collective infringement of collective intellectual property from cultures originating, minorities, especially indigenous cultures and those living under colonial rule. Often inevitable when many cultures unite, cultural deprivation can include using cultural cultures and other cultural traditions, fashions, symbols, languages, and songs.
According to criticism of practice, cultural appropriation differs from acculturation, assimilation, or cultural exchange in that this appropriation is a form of colonialism: cultural elements are copied from the culture of minorities by members of dominant cultures, and these elements are used outside their original cultural context - sometimes even contrary to the expressly stated desires of members of the originating culture.
Often, the original meaning of these cultural elements is lost or distorted, and such appearances are often viewed as disrespectful, or even as a form of blasphemy, by members of culturally derived origin. Cultural elements that have profound meaning in indigenous cultures can be reduced to "exotic" fashion or toys by those from dominant cultures. Kjerstin Johnson has written that, when this is done, imitators, "who do not experience the oppression can" play ", while, the other" exotic ", without experiencing the daily discrimination encountered by other cultures. African-American academician, musician and journalist, Greg Tate, argues that seizure and "shaken" culture, in fact, alienates those culturally adapted.
Some authors on the topic note that this concept is often misunderstood by the general public, and that allegations of "cultural deprivation" are sometimes misused for situations like eating foods from different cultures, or learning about different cultures. Commentators who criticize the concept say that the act of cultural devotion is not necessarily a social loss, and that the term has no conceptual coherence. Some argue that the term imposes arbitrary limits on intellectual freedom and self-expression of artists, strengthens group disunity, or itself encourages feelings of hostility or grievance, rather than liberation.

Cultural adaptation may involve the use of ideas, symbols, artifacts, or other aspects of a human-made visual or non-visual culture.
As a controversial concept in its application, the politeness of cultural appropriation has been the subject of much debate. The opposite of appropriation culture sees many instances as a false appropriation when the subject culture is a minority culture or subordinated in social, political, economic, or military status to a dominant culture or when there are other problems involved, such as ethnic history or racial conflict. It is often seen in outsider cultures that use oppressed cultural symbols or other cultural elements, such as music, dance, spiritual ceremonies, dressing, speech, and social behavior, especially when these elements are underestimated and used for fashion, not from who are respected in their original cultural context. Opponents see the issue of colonialism, the context, and the difference between appropriation and mutual exchange as a center for analyzing cultural plunder. They argue that reciprocal exchanges take place in the "field of play even", whereas appropriation involves pieces of oppressed culture taken out of context by people who historically oppress those who take, and who lack the cultural context to properly understand, respect, or exploit these elements.
Different views of cultural appropriation characterize critics of this practice as "engaging in a very conservative project: the former trying to maintain formaldehyde of established cultural content and secondly trying to prevent others from interacting with that culture." Supporters of appropriation cultures see it as often benign or mutually beneficial, citing mutations, product diversity, technological diffusion, and cultural empathy as one of its benefits. For example, the movie Star Wars uses elements from Akira Kurosawa Hidden Castle , which in itself takes elements from Shakespeare; culture in the aggregate group is arguably better for each instance of appropriation. The intercultural mix has produced foods such as American Chinese cuisine, modern Japanese sushi, and bÃÆ'¡nh mÃÆ'¬, each of which is sometimes debated to reflect part of their respective cultural identity.

Academic studies
The expert of cultural and racial theory, George Lipsitz uses the term "strategic anti-essentialism" to refer to the calculated use of a cultural form, outside of itself, to define one's self or group. Strategic anti-essentialism can be seen in both minority and cultural cultures of the majority, and is not limited to other uses. However, Lipsitz argues, when the culture of the majority attempts to strategically anti-essentialize itself by applying a minority culture, it must be very careful to recognize the specific socio-historical circumstances and significance of these cultural forms in order not to perpetuate the existing majority. vs. unequal minority power relations.
Example
Art, iconography, and jewelry
A common example of cultural deprivation is the adoption of other cultural icons, and uses them for purposes that are not deliberate by the original culture or even offensive to the culture. Examples include sports teams using native American names or texts as a mascot; wearing jewelry or fashion with religious symbols such as war hats, wheels, or crucifixes without any belief in those religions; and copying iconography from other cultural histories such as Polynesian tattoos, Chinese characters, or Celtic art worn regardless of its original cultural significance. Critics of cultural appropriation practice argue that divorcing this iconography from its cultural context or treating it as a kitsch risk offend those who glorify and wish to preserve their cultural traditions.
In Australia, Aboriginal artists have discussed "brand authenticity" to ensure consumers are aware of artwork that claims a fake Aboriginal meaning. The movement for such a measure gained momentum after the 1999 conviction of John O'Loughlin over the false sale of works described as Aboriginal but painted by non-native artists.
Historically, some of the most contentious cases of cultural appropriation have occurred in places where cultural exchanges are the highest, as along the trade routes in southwest Asia and southeast Europe. Some scholars from the Ottoman Empire and ancient Egypt argue that Ottoman and Egyptian architectural traditions have long been claimed and praised as Persian or Arabic.
Religion and spirituality
Among the critics, the misuse and misinterpretation of indigenous intellectual property is seen as an exploitative form of colonialism, and one step in the destruction of indigenous culture.
The result of using this original knowledge has caused some tribes, and the General Assembly of the United Nations, to issue several declarations on the matter. The Declaration of War on the Utilization of Lakota Spirituality includes this section:
We affirm zero tolerance posture for every white "white shaman" who rises from within our own community to "authorize" our non-India ceremonial takeover; all such "plastic drug men" are enemies of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota people.
Article 31 1 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples states:
Indigenous peoples have the right to defend, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, and manifestations of their science, technology and culture, including human and genetic resources, seeds, medicines, knowledge of the nature of the fauna and flora, oral tradition, literature, design, sports and traditional games as well as visual and performing arts. They also have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their intellectual property over cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expression.
Many Native Americans have criticized what they perceive as cultural deprivation from their sweat lodges and quest ritual visions by non-Natives, and even by tribes that do not traditionally have these ceremonies. They also argue that there is a higher security risk when ceremonies are performed by non-Indigenous people, pointing to deaths or injuries in 1996, 2002, 2004, and some high profile deaths in 2009.
In 2015, a group of native American academics and authors issued a statement to members of the Pelangi Family who are acts of "cultural exploitation... our inhuman natives as they imply our culture and humanity, like our land, are anyone to take."
Mode
Confiscation of controversial culture in the fashion industry due to the belief that some trends are commercializing and belittling the ancient heritage of indigenous cultures. There is a debate about whether fashion designers and houses understand the history behind the clothes they take from different cultures, in addition to ethical issues of using this intellectual property alongside this culture without approval, recognition, or compensation. In response to this criticism, many fashion experts claim that this incident is actually a "cultural appreciation", rather than a cultural disregard. Companies and designers claim the use of a unique cultural symbol is an attempt to recognize and honor a particular culture.
the seventeenth century into the Victorian era
During the 17th century, the pioneers for the three suit suits were adapted from the traditional clothing of diverse European and Islamic countries. The Justacorps skirt coat copied from long zupans worn in Poland and Ukraine, a tie or cravat comes from a scarf worn by a Croatian mercenary fighting for Louis XIII, and brightly colored silk vests popularized by Charles II of England inspired by Turkish, Indian outfits and exotic Persians bought by wealthy British tourists.
Less than a generation after the Highland Clearances, the British aristocracy took over traditional Scottish clothing. Tartan was given a fake association with certain Highland clans after publications such as the romantic James Logan. The Scottish Gael (1831) led the Scottish tartan industry to create tartan clans and tartan be the desired material for dress, vest and cravat. In America, the checkered flannel has become a work-dress upon expansion into the West, and is widely used by Old West pioneers and cowboys who are not Scottish descendants. In the 21st century, tartan remains everywhere in mainstream fashion.
In the 19th century, attraction has shifted to Asian culture. Dandies of the English District era adapted Indian churidars into slender pantaloons, and often wore turbans inside their own homes. Later, Victorian men wore smoking hats based on fez Islam, and the turn of a modern-day lady wore a Japanese Orientalist-style kimono dress. During the 1950s tiki cultural trends, white women often wore qipao to give the impression that they had visited Hong Kong, though the dress was often made by tailors in America using rayon rather than real silk. At the same time, British teenager Teddy Girls wore a Chinese coolie hat because of its exotic connotations.
In Mexico, the sombrero associated with the mestizo peasant class is taken from the previous hat which was introduced by Spanish colonials during the 18th century. This, in turn, was adapted into a cowboy hat worn by white Americans after the US Civil War. In 2016, the University of East Anglia prohibits the use of sombrero to parties on campus, with the belief that this can offend Mexican students.
American Western clothing was copied from the nineteenth century Mexican Vaqueros work clothes, especially the pointy cowboy boots and guayaberas that were adapted into Western embroidered shirts. Chinese poblana dresses associated with Mexican women have been taken from choli and lehenga worn by Indian servants such as Catarina de San Juan who came from Asia from the 17th century onwards.
Modern era
In the UK, rough woolen clothing from Irish, English, and Scottish people, including flat hats and Irish hats adapted by upper classes such as British state clothes worn for sports such as hunting or fishing, imitate the Prince at the time. from Wales. The state outfit, in turn, has been adapted by the rich American soc and subculture which was then neatly dated during the 1950s and 1980s because of its practicality and its relationship with the British elite.
When keffiyeh became popular in the late 2000s, experts made a clear distinction between wearing real, and fake scarves made in China. Palestinian and socialist activists have condemned the use of scarves not made in Palestine as a form of cultural devotion, but encourage people to buy shemagh made at Herbawi's plant to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and improve the West Bank economy. In 2017, Topshop caused controversy by selling Chinese-made dramas that imitate keffiyeh patterns.
In 2012 at the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show, Karlie Kloss's model was scrutinized for wearing a native American headdress during the run on the runway. There are mixed public responses. People of mixed inheritance are the most sensitive to head decoration. USA Today runs a feature where they interview a woman from a mixed heritage that says headdress is a symbol of leadership and honor, and also has a religious meaning behind it. This cultural significance is not considered in the use of head decoration Victoria's Secret as an accessory. Victoria's Secret issued an apology stating that they did not intend to offend anyone.
Archbishop Justin Welby of the Anglican Church claims that the cross is "now only a fashion statement and has lost its religious meaning." The cross has been incorporated into non-Christian Japanese lolita mode in a cultural context different from its original meaning as a symbol of Christianity.
Hair styles, makeup and body modifications
- Ancient Israeli leaders strongly condemned the adoption of Egyptian and Canaanite practices, especially cutting short hair or shaving beards. At the same time, the Old Testament distinguishes the religious circumcision of the Hebrews, from cultures like the Egyptians where the practice has an aesthetic or practical purpose.
- During the early sixteenth century, Europeans imitated short haircuts and short beards on ancient and re-discovered Roman and Roman Greek sculptures. Curly hair favored by Beau's cool Beau Brummel era is also inspired by the classical era.
- During the seventeenth century, Louis XIV began wearing a wig to hide his baldness. Like many other French fashions, these were quickly adapted by the baroque-era nobility in Britain and throughout Europe as far as men often shave their heads to ensure their wigs are properly installed.
- The American army during World War II took Mohawk hairstyles from Native American tribes of the same name to intimidate their enemies. It was later worn by 1950 jazz musicians such as Sonny Rollins, and the punk subculture of the 1980s.
- During the early 2000s, it was popular in the West to get tribal tattoos drawn from African and Polynesian cultures, as well as ear piercing known as the flesh tunnel, which is famously associated with the Buddha.
Sports
Although the history of colonization and marginalization is not unique in America, the practice of non-genuine sports teams derived from teams' names, imagery and mascots is still common in the United States and Canada, and has persisted to some extent despite protests from the Population group Original. Cornel Pewewardy, Professor and Director of Indigenous Studies at Portland State University, cites the indigenous mascot as an example of unconscious racism which, by placing images of Native Americans or the First Nation into the context of the created medium, continues to preserve the cultural dominant superiority. It is said that such practices maintain a power relationship between dominant culture and indigenous culture, and can be seen as a form of cultural imperialism.
Such practices can be viewed as very dangerous in schools and universities with other goals to promote ethnic diversity and inclusion. In recognition of the responsibility of higher education to eliminate behavior that creates a hostile environment for education, in 2005 the NCAA initiated a policy of "hostile and cruel" names and mascots that led to many changes that originated in Native American culture, with the exception of those who make agreements with certain tribes for the use of their specific names. Other schools retain their names because they are established for Native American education, and continue to have a large number of native students. The trend towards the elimination of native names and mascots in local schools has stabilized, with two-thirds being eliminated over the last 50 years according to the American Indian National Congress (NCAI).
While almost all Native Americans and their tribes object to portrayals as a sports mascot, only one tribe explicitly approves such a representation. The Florida State Seminoles use the iconography of the Seminole tribe. Their mascots are Osceola and Renegade, the depiction of the head of Seminole Osceola and his Appaloosa horse. After the NCAA attempted to ban the use of Native American names and icons in college sports in 2005, Seminole Florida passed a resolution that offered explicit support for the use of Seminole and Osceola cultures by the FSU as a mascot; universities were given a waiver, citing close ties with and consultation between teams and tribes. In 2013, the tribal chiefs objected to outsiders interfering in the tribal agreement, stating that the FSU mascot and the use of the Seminole iconography "represent the courage of the people here and still here, known as the Invincible Seminoles." On the contrary, in 2013, the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma declared its disapproval of "the use of all Indian American sports team mascots in public school systems, by college and university levels and by professional sports teams," and not all members of the Florida tribe support their attitude.
In other former colonies in Asia, Africa and South America, the adoption of indigenous names for the majority of indigenous teams was also found. There are also ethnic-related team names coming from prominent immigrant populations in the area, such as Boston Celtics, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and Minnesota Vikings.
The All Blacks have performed traditional haka dances (cultural elements of M? Ori) in the beginning of most of their games since at least 1905, although a very significant part of the game (of course that is earlier) does not have, let alone the majority, indigenous players.
The 2018 Commonwealth Games to be held on the Gold Coast in Australia from April 4, 2018 have named Borco's mascot, local Yugambeh said for "koalas," and have been attempting word trademarks through IP Australia. This application was opposed by the cultural heritage organization Yugambeh, who argued that the Olympic organizing committee used the word without proper consultation with the Yugambeh people.
African-American culture
The term wigger is a slang term for whites who adopt the behavior, language, and fashion associated with African-American culture, especially hip hop, and, in England, dirt scenes, often implying imitation is done by bad, though usually with sincerity and not mocking. Wiggers are portmanteau white and negro or nigga, and terms related to wangsta are mashups of wannabe or white , and gangsta
The phenomenon of white people adopting elements of black culture has been prevalent since at least since slavery was removed in the Western world. This concept has been documented in the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, and other white majority countries. The earliest form of this is negro white in jazz and swing music scenes from the 1920s and 1930s, as observed in the 1957 Norman Mailer essay "The White Negro". It was later seen in suita zoot from the 1930s and 1940s, the 1940s hipster, the 1960s-1960s beatnik, the blue-eyed soul of the 1970s, and the hip hop of the 1980s and 1990s. In 1993, an article in the British newspaper The Independent illustrated a white phenomenon, the "wannabe Blacks" middle class. 2005 saw the publication Why White Children Love Hip Hop: Wangstas, Wiggers, Wannabes, and Race New Reality in America by Bakari Kitwana, "a cultural critic who has been tracking American hip hop for years" .
The documentary Robert A. Clift's Blacking Up: Remix of Race and Identity Hip-Hop questions white fans of the black hip-hop culture. The Clift documentary examines racial and cultural possessions and authenticity - a path that begins with the stolen darkness seen in the success of Stephen Foster, Al Jolson, Benny Goodman, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones - all the way up to Vanilla Ice (popular ur-wigger music...) and Eminem. "A documentary review refers to wiggers as" white posepos ", and states that the term" wigger "is used proudly and mockingly to describe black fans of the hip-hop culture".
Language
The use of minority languages ​​is also referred to as customized culture, such as when non-speakers of Scottish or Irish Gaelic languages ​​get tattoos in that language. Similarly, the incorrect use of Scottish Gaelic in the tokenistic style devoted to non-Gaelic loudspeakers on bulletin boards and announcements has been criticized as impolite for speakers of eloquent language.
Since the early 2000s, it has become increasingly popular for people not of Asian descent, to get the Indian tattoo devanagari, Korean letters or Han characters (traditional, simplified or Japanese), often without knowing the true meaning of the symbols used.
Costume
During Halloween, some people buy, wear, and sell Halloween costumes based on racial stereotypes. Costumes depicting striking racial stereotypes, such as "Indian Soldiers" are sometimes worn by people who do not belong to a racial or ethnic group. These costumes were criticized as the most uncomfortable and, at worst, very racist. In some cases, theme parties have been held where participants are encouraged to dress up as stereotypes of certain racial groups. A number of these parties have been held on campus, and at other times besides Halloween, including Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Black History Month.
In chapter four of his book Playing Indians, the Native American historian Philip J. Deloria refers to the Koshare Indian Museum and Dancers as an example of a "hobbyist" that adopts the customary material culture of the past. ("the vanishing Indians") while failing to engage with contemporary indigenous peoples or recognize the history of conquest and seizure. Some Native Americans have declared that all such imitations and performances are a form of cultural plunder that places dances and costumes in an inappropriate context with no real meaning, sometimes mixing elements of various tribes.
For 2015, the Koshare Winter dance was canceled after requests received from the Conservation Office of the Hopi Nation requested that the troops stop their interpretation of Native American dance Hopi and Pueblo. CPO Director Leigh Kuwanwisiwma saw the video of the show online, and said his players "imitate our dance, but they are not as sensitive, as far as I know." In the 1950s, head council of Zuni Pueblo saw the show and said: "We know your heart is good, but even with a good heart you have done a bad thing." In Zuni culture, religious objects and practices are only for those who have earned the right to participate, following techniques and prayers that have been passed down from generation to generation.
There are other examples of groups associated with scout forces trying to imitate the Native American dance with varying degrees of authenticity.
- Aabikta Indian Dancers, Slidell, Louisiana.
- Coyote Nightclubs, Northern California
- The Kaniengehaga Dance Team
- Indian Dancer Kootaga, Parkersburg, West Virginia
- Kossa Indian Dancers, Sulfur, Louisiana
- Kwahadi dancer, Amarillo, Texas
- Lakota dancer, Belvidere, Illinois
- The Mic-O-Say Dancer, St. Joseph, Missouri covers nine teams:
- Crossed Arrows, Stewartsville, Missouri
- Five Rivers, Jefferson City, Missouri
- Kanza, Atchison, Kansas
- Lone Star, Dallas, Texas
- Ma-Has-Kah, Trenton, Missouri
- Maha, Omaha, Nebraska
- Otoe, Maryville, Missouri
- Robidoux, St. Joseph, Missouri
- White Shield, Kansas City, Missouri
- Paumanauke Dance Team, Amityville, New York
- Indian Dancers Sahawe, Uvalde, Texas
- Tsoyaha Indian Dancers & amp; Mossy Creek Singers, Morristown, Tennessee
Other uses
In some cases, cultures that are usually seen as targets of cultural abandonment may be accused of appropriation, especially after colonization and organizational reorganization in the culture of the country under the nation-state system. For example, the government of Ghana has been accused of using culture in adopting the Emancipation Day of the Caribbean and marketing it to African American tourists as an "African festival".
For some members of the South Asian community, the use of bindi points as decorative objects, by non-Hindus, or by a woman who is not South Asian, is considered a cultural plunder.
A common term among Irish people for someone who imitates or misrepresents Irish culture is Plastic Rice .
Celebrity controversy
In 2003, Prince Harry used the Native Australian art motif in a painting for a school project. One Aboriginal group named it "the misuse of our culture", claiming that for Aborigines, motifs have a symbolic meaning "to show our spiritualism", whereas when non Aboriginal people use their motives simply "paint a beautiful picture".
In Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2012 event, former Victoria's Secret model, Karlie Kloss wore a genuine American headdress with bra and panties from leather and high-heeled moccasins. This should be an example of cultural appropriation because the fashion show features underwear and corporate image as a global fashion giant. The outfit should represent November, and thus "Thanksgiving", in the segment of "Girls Calendar". The outfit was filled with reactions and criticism as the usurpation of Native American culture and traditions. Victoria's Secret pulls her out of the broadcast and apologizes for her use. Kloss also commented on the decision by tweeting "I'm so sorry if what I wear during the VS Show offends anyone, I support VS's decision to remove clothes from the broadcast."
Avril Lavigne has been cited as a customizing Japanese culture in her song "Hello Kitty". Songs and music videos depict Asian women dressing up in matching outfits and Lavigne eating Asian food while wearing pink tutu. The depiction of Japanese culture is filled with widespread criticism, including racism's suggestion. Lavigne replied by stating "I love Japanese culture and I spend half my time in Japan I fly to Tokyo to shoot this video... specially for my Japanese fans, with my Japanese label, Japanese choreographer < I> and Japanese director in Japan. "Many of the feedback Lavigne received on Twitter was profitable, and those who blame her for racism are non-Japanese.
When Selena Gomez was wearing bindi during the show, there was a debate about the reason behind wearing a special piece of culture. Some see this as "voting for the Indian Team" but are also seen as symbolic misuse because Selena is seen as not supporting or connecting Bindi with the origin of Hinduism, but promoting her own expression. In 2014, Pharrell Williams posed in a Genuine American war cap on the cover of British magazine Elle after a lot of controversy and media surrounding photos of Williams apologized.
Actress Amandla Stenberg made a school-related video entitled "Do not Cash Crop on My Cornrows" on the use of black hairstyles and black culture by non-blacks, questioning celebrities like Katy Perry and Iggy Azalea for using "culture black as a way of being tense and attracting attention ". Stenberg later criticized Kylie Jenner for embracing African-American aesthetic values ​​without addressing issues affecting the community. African-American hip-hop artist Azealia Banks also criticized Iggy Azalea "for not commenting on 'black issues' despite exploiting African American cultural appropriation in his music." The bank has called Azalea a "wigger" and there is "accusation of racism against Azaleas" which focuses on "insensitivity to the complexities of race relations and cultural plunder."
Rachel Dolezal made headlines in 2015 when it became known that she was not African-American, as she claimed.
In 2017, Miley Cyrus talks to Billboard magazine about her new picture. He criticized the stereotypes and elements of the same African-American culture that he previously combined in his work. It's greeted with a counterattack, with people calling it out for history using hip hop culture.
Responses
In 2011, a group of students at Ohio University started a poster campaign condemning the use of cultural stereotypes as costumes. The campaign features colored people next to their respective stereotypes with slogans such as "It's not who I am and it's not okay." The purpose of this movement is to raise awareness about racism during Halloween at universities and surrounding communities, but the images are also circulating online.
"Reclaim the Bindi" has become a hashtag used by some South Asian descendants who wear traditional dress, and refuse its use by people who are not from their culture. At the 2014 Coachella festival, one of the most famous fashion trends is bindi, a traditional Hindu head sign. When the festival photographs appeared online, there was a public controversy about the use of bindi by non-Indians who did not understand the meaning behind it. #CoachellaShutdown has been used in conjunction with #ReclaimtheBindi to protest the use of bindi at music festivals, especially the Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival. Reclaim the Bindi Week is an event that aims to promote the traditional cultural meaning of bindi and combat its use as a fashion statement.
Criticism of the concept
John McWhorter, a professor at Columbia University, has criticized the concept, arguing that cultural lending and cross-fertilization are generally positive, and are something that is usually done because of admiration, and without intent to harm, the culture imitated; he also argues that specific "appropriation" terms, which can mean theft, are misleading when applied to something like a culture that is not seen by all as limited resources: unlike using physical objects, others mimic the ideas taken from one group culture not inherently eliminating the original group from its use.
In 2016, writer Lionel Shriver gave a speech at the Brisbane Writers Festival, affirming the author's right to write from any point of view, including characters from cultural backgrounds other than their own - as the authors "should seek to push beyond the limiting categories in which we have arbitrarily dropped by birth.If we embrace a narrow group-based identity too hard, we cling to a cage where others will try to trap us. "He also asserted the rights of authors of the majority of cultures to write a voice of a person from a cultural minority, attacking the idea that this is an unethical "cultural devotion". Referring to the case where a US student faces disciplinary action for wearing sombreros to a 'tequila party', he says, "The moral scandal of sombrero is clear: You should not try another person's hat . But that's what we have to do, is not it? Get in someone else's shoes, and try their hats. "Sudan-Australia social activist Yassmin Abdel-Magied came out of Shriver's speech Abdel-Magied then wrote a disagreeing piece published in The Guardian, which has run a series of articles addressing debates on issues, the problem of cultural plunder. "In it, he called the speech" a toxic package wrapped in arrogance and conveyed in a humble self. "He repeated the basic premises and arguments that form the ideological basis of the appropriation culture as stated in the above section, on the majority/minority, group identity, oppression, colonialism, etc., but does not discuss Shriver's argument about the merits of imagination and intellectual freedom.
Fox News, a conservative media source, and host Bill O'Reilly argue that cultural deprivation is an example of political correctness.
