I think great examples of appropriation are the use of ingredients and labels without any technique or understanding behind them

all the menus/dishes/recipes out there with some asortment of asian ingredients and a claim to be inspired by/a take on some specific dish or asian cuisine......which bear no resemblance to the original at all and display no actual understanding of the original

any cook or chef who drops the term asian flair basicly needs a kick in the balls or cunt

adding ginger and soy doesnt make something asian

Saying I can't wear a bindi because I'm a black male is cultural disappropriation. It's racist to say that I can't put the color red here or there on my body because I didn't grow up in your clique. Everyone needs to grow up and mind their singular business and mind their own own business..

I'm Indian and I doubt anyone winds non-Indians wearing a bindi. If you're doing it for the wrong reasons it's wrong but that applies to anything in life. It doesn't make wearing a bindi in and of itself wrong.

A culinary example would be serving your guests tulsi infused water on an Indian themed dinner party. Nothing inherently wrong with it if you're doing it for the flavour and the apparent medicinal properties of tulsi. But if you're serving a beef curry on the same table it can sort of make you look like Madonna wearing a bindi.

If you're a guy you got a tilak(tilaka) not a bindi. The two things are very different. The tilak is purely for religious purposes and is supposed to calm the mind. A bindi is a cultural ornament which has cultural, religious and decorative uses and is only worn by women.

Essentially, this. "Culture" is such an organic thing, certain ideas and customs don't exist in sterile pockets, never to move, grow, or expand. Most quintessential cultural ideas and staples came from somewhere else, or evolved from an outside idea. There are billions of fucking people on the planet, all with different ideas about how things are done. That's how knowledge and technology have always spread. Enjoying the food, music, art, etc. of another culture isn't fucking stealing it. Transplanted culture evolving, adapting, and incorporating new ideas from the people around it isn't fucking "appropriation". Unless you're blatantly violating something sacred to another group of people, enjoying and exploring their culture isn't a bad thing. One love, and all that happy horse shit.

Well the problem isn't with white people making a chicken tikka masala with coconut milk because they think New Delhi must be full of coconut trees since it's a tropical country. That's just run of the mill ignorance and while you can correct it if you come across it you can't really begrudge someone for not having complete knowledge of every culture. Who does?

The problem is when people act like they are the arbitrators of the things in that culture that are worth everyone's time. They treat other cultures like a ride at a theme park. When to some people that ride has been their whole life.

It's like when trust-fund kids buy a studio apartment in the gritty part of town to get a taste of poverty of rather, the poor "lifestyle", it makes a mockery of the poor people in that area that have been living that way their entire life.

You're welcome to explore and imbibe all the cultures in the world but with respect towards the people who've practiced that culture for generations not necessarily the culture itself.

It's always minorities complaining about whitewashing and their primitive culture being eroded after they move to a county with an established civilized culture. Look at Muslims in Europe.

Immigrants tend to hang on to their culture for the first couple generations. Then their great grandchildren assimilate. This is pretty obvious in the US. There used to be tons of German communities, newspapers, restaurants and the like. Irish used to be seen by the general public as being on par with blacks just after slavery was abolished. My own grandfather gave my aunt shit for marrying an Italian.

Even though recent immigrants have to suffer prejudice because they're different what they bring with them enriches the cultures where they land. Especially the food culture. America's food roots were so shallow that it only took a few Italians here and a few Chinese there to really improve things. In much of Europe the food culture is more established, so the immigrant contribution may have a less dramatic effect.

>that one post bitching about the idea behind a mexican place being filled with mexicans eating = authentic

But, in my eyes, that makes sense. Maybe not exactly for the same reason but the way I see it, if you're (let's use their example) Mexican and grown up on Mexican food, and you and a bunch of other Mexican-americans frequently visit a particular Mexican food place that has a lot of the same things you make from home, a white person will think "Well, if someone who can make this at home feels this place makes good enough food for them, the restaurant must be legit."

>tfw trying a new korean place today for lunch and I'm the only white person in there
Asians, asians everywhere. Considering I live in a mostly-white area (that surprisingly has a large amount of asian restaurants, two other korean places being nearby this one) the fact that the place was packed with asians led me to think the place must be good.

It was. Would go again.

You say that it is bad to "act like they are the arbitrators of the things in that culture that are worth everyone's time" but then, you're perfectly happy to arbitrate what behavior is or is not respectful and appropriate. You're happy to assume you know what will or won't offend the people in question who's culture is being adopted/experienced.

It seems to me that for anyone other than a member of the culture in question, making claims about what is or is not respectful and appropriate on this topic is simply sticking your nose where it does not belong, and trying to speak oh the behalf of a group to which you do not belong. If I were going to use more sanctimonious progressive terminology I'd accuse you of removing the agency and silencing the voices of minority cultures, but I don't genuinely think you're being that malicious.

I do think, though, that for example, if some white person with no native ancestry decides to wear a hat made of feathers for superficial reasons, it's up to native americans to decide weather that is disrespectful or not. You, anon, don't deserve to make that judgment.

I don't claim that my understanding is perfect but at the same time I don't think my comment is in any way poking my nose where it doesn't belong.

That's a lie. In my country it is clearly observable many European immigrants either themselves or their children assimilated quickly and efficiently. The same can not be said for muslims here, and that is because their religion is also a way of life which in some areas conflicts with our way of life.

I never heard of a chinese man or an indian complaining about public christmas celebrations being offensive somehow.

My post was not contingent upon you being white, but on you trying to make judgments for groups you don't belong to. If you don't do that, and don't take offense on behalf of others, great, maybe the non-specific way you wrote made me think you were making broad statements. I get annoyed when I see people talk like that since it seems like a symptom of the general progressive authoritarian attitude of thinking they have the right to tell everyone what to do or not, speak for everyone, declare what is or is not moral, and act like a big fascist know-it-all.

Persian and Levantine are two of the world's top cuisines in my book. They're not slacking in Pakistan, either.

As a native of Clapistan I don't see Muslim culture as any more fucked up than my own. Or that of many places in Europe for that matter.

Objectively it's hard for me to see one culture as better than another. It's just a matter of pluses and minuses all around.

If you have the OPTION to pollute the environment with a car, but you choose a bike instead, you are making a moral choice.

Being too poor to afford a car may have the same consequence, but it doesn't make you a moral person.

Some good examples of cultural appropriation in cooking are Japanese people making hot dogs and Chinese people coveting cheese. People should learn to keep their cultures static and totally devoid of foreign influence. Anything else is racism.

But the best thing about food and food culture is that the best part of each cultures food can be adapted and used to make other food better.

Um, I used to go to bible school all the time. I grew up as a christian and went to church quite a bit. Never missed a meeting.

You can not go on sites with obscene material and actually be a christian. This is what most people do with religion - they say they're some part of a religion and then don't follow the rules at all. It's called hypocrisy.

I give a fuck because I'm tired of this shitty trolling behavior of people claiming to be christians when they aren't. They're just straight up lying to get their way.
There's no way to go on a site that has board featuring women taking three dicks in her vagina and two in her mouth and still be a christian. Just doesn't work that way.

you do realize that people in different countries can invent different things, right?
Like, if one person doesn't invent something, that doesn't stop that thing from being invented
The difference between that and food is that certain things grow in certain areas, non-asians didn't invent pho, but they did invent other spicy dishes

This is such a dumb rule white people have. A Chinese place with a lot of Chinese people in it does not mean its good, it means that it is authentic.

Authentic doesn't mean good although in America they often align because white people can't handle flavor in their food. I've been to China many times and live in Asia and while the food there is good when ever I come home I always get a turkey sandwich (no one else in the world eats turkey) and American Chinese food.

But when richer people start doing something, it's entirely likely that the standards will go up.

Also, more generally, as people become wealthier and as technology improves, you often find they will go back and forth on what choices they make. The reason for this is usually that a new tech allows for a cheaper way to do X, which leaves you with money left over with which to do Y. But then when you become richer still, you might decide that it's time to go back to X and do it the older way, which was more expensive but better quality, that you no longer need to sacrifice quality in order to make the savings that doing so allowed you to make.


Which I think explains a lot of old-style nostalgia and back-to-the-whatever movements and cultural shifts.
