And now another installment of Derpy Professors say the darndest things!'
"Forget Halloween costumes and yoga, there’s a new symbol of cultural appropriation—the canoe.
According to Misao Dean, Professor of English at the University of Victoria, the canoe can be a symbol of colonialism, imperialism and genocide due to history. She also accused the canoers of cultural appropriation because they are primarily white men and have a privileged place in society."
Ah.
Yeah, but what's her opinion on kayaks?

Canoe from wiki:
"The word canoe comes from the Carib kenu (dugout), via the Spanish canoa.[4]
Constructed between 8200 and 7600 BC, and found in the Netherlands, the Pesse canoe may be the oldest known canoe. Excavations in Denmark reveal the use of dugouts and paddles during the Ertebølle period, (ca 5300 BC – 3950 BC).[5]"
Fricken Dutch! Ruining a perfectly sound narrative!
I swear, if I ever catch these over paid, pseudo-intellectual professor-social-warriors eating Italian food...

Recently some celebrity named Vanessa Hudgeons was mauled by idiots for having braids.
One commenter said, 'She wasn't offended, by an African-American, by it'.
While we can applaud her good sense and grace, I don't give a shit she's not offended since braids and dreadlocks are not African or black in origin. So, in a sense, we can actually argue by the facts of history, it was culturally appropriated from elsewhere! And another thing, since I'm on it and need to knock sense into this misplaced nonsense, there's nothing original in rap music. So who gives a shit about white musicians who rap? I'll be sure to heckle some random black SJW about the Marsalis brothers and their classical music training and the next time I see Wynton playing the trumpet:
"The earliest trumpets date back to 1500 BC and earlier. The bronze and silver trumpets from Tutankhamun's grave in Egypt, bronze lurs from Scandinavia, and metal trumpets from China date back to this period.[2] Trumpets from the Oxus civilization (3rd millennium BC) of Central Asia have decorated swellings in the middle, yet are made out of one sheet of metal, which is considered a technical wonder.[3]"
Whatever.
As I've mentioned before, anyone who uses the term is profoundly ignorant and anti-humanist.
Now if you don't mind, I may want to go listen to some FUCKING JAZZ.

Are we back on that subject of "cultural appropriation" again?
ReplyDeleteWhere one is forbidden any modicum of freedom-of-choice in their preference for/of any kind of art form they may seek either as amusement or to partake in?
In other words: "THIS shit again?"
And it's gonna continue...sit tight!
