When respect for diversity is taken to crazy extremes

   I fully agree with this.
   
   
   The idea of “cultural appropriation” is a dubious, harmful concept. Bin it

   Had the Met gala opted for an Islamic theme (say, “Arabian Nights: Magic and Islam”), accusations of appropriation would have surely followed. This year Jared Leto, an actor, dressed as Jesus; had he dressed as Muhammad, even if in a plain and historically accurate thobe and turban, he would provoke all manner of disgust and denunciation. One can conjure any number of nightmare scenarios for galas themed around Judaism, blackness or, say, Aztecs—none of whom remain alive to be offended—no matter how sartorially sensitive the dresses.
   
   That is because cultural appropriation is less about cultural disrespect or intolerance—for which much clearer terminology already exists—than about reinforcing the oppressor-oppressed binary through which social-justice advocates see the world. Because Christians and whites are groups deemed to have power, all manner of borrowing or parody is intolerable. And the inverse gets a free pass: nobody is upset when Asians wear European clothes, for instance.

    It’s a form of attention for narcissists with no personnel pride
    
    It helps defer from personnel responsibilty in many instances

    SJW's are social justice warriors and they will achieve justice through blood for EVERY MICROAGGRESSION EVER COMMITTED.

    Fur real tho, I'm sick of all these native americans and blacks appropriating my refined metal.
    
    
    If your culture is good enough for somebody to copy it that is a compliment and it is how cultures have worked since the beginning.

    Yeah, the basic premise is that being "socially aware and sensitive to others plight" means you are better educated and a better human than those of us who want anyone that's a fucking weirdo dead.
    
    It's "cool" to be kind to faggots etc...that's they mentality of your average SJW...it's all really based on self promotion.
    
    "Im better than you because I care" etc.
    
    Bunch of faggot shit.

    A sense of grandiose moral superiority.
    
    Pumping up the Id and the ego,and protecting the fragile psyche.
    
    Sjw’s are generally losers in life. A generation of entitled brats who were told they were special. The realization that they’re not is hard on their psyche and their lack coping skills.
    
    It’s also sheeple,herd mentality. The whole libtard thing. The movie stars do it,so it’s cool.
