Cultural Appropriation

I demand that they pay me a dollar for every time an immigrant wearing jeans and eating cheeseburgers while drinking Coca Cola, comes to give me his absurd, incoherent and lacking speech about "cultural appropriation", at this step these idiots will demand to Native Americans "You can'tspeak English" because they "are embracing the language of their oppressors" 🤷🏻‍♂️ or something like that.

Are we going to tell Asians that they can't eat pizza?  Are you going to tell Latinos not to wear jeans and shirts? Are you going to tell an African-American woman that she can't straighten her hair? You're going to deny a white boy who disguises himself as a Native Indian, Viking, Druid, Samurai,  just because you are an accomplished racist and do not want to admit it?.

Do you want to gather signatures to ask all the peoples and countries of Latin America to adopt the "politically correct native customs of their ancestors" and then stop getting vaccinated, wear modern clothes and wear  Microwave just because you and 2 other idiots (most likely American racists) can't accept the diversity of the world?.

Now all of a sudden "everyone" cares about the colonization, genocide and "Yankee imperialism" that is ending "poor oppressed lands in Latin America," I don't know what book litter they are reading, but they can visit Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina,  Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil at any time, and realize that poverty in our countries is not justified by what happened during the "massive genocide" of the colonizers, but rather is the fault and consequence of the heavy corrupt leaders  that we keep in power, those who win votes under the speech "is that Yankee imperialism wants to end us and we will not leave them" and force people to focus on this nonsense while they steal shamelessly.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with "social assimilation," believe me that many of us comfortably prefer to enjoy the benefits of the modern world and be able to wear jeans and shirts, cook in an electric oven and live in a concrete house with glass windows, which  Confirm with dressing animal skins, eating cooked vegetables in a cauldron and living in an open-air hut.

Where are the limits of cultural appropriation that you claim so much? Where are those limits and who puts them?  The government ?, The ruler on duty ?, A wall that borders two countries just because an orde of racists asks for it ?.

Are we going to ask the presidents on duty to limit the laws just so that you feel better?  That we cannot have another great African-American president in the United States, because "it is a country of white supremacy" ?, Is that what you want ?, Because if I have learned something in history classes it is "there has not been a  First lady in the United States of America more charismatic, intelligent and emblematic than Michelle Obama, "are we going to change that and that African-American presidents can only govern in African countries?

I do not see (and I repeat as I do constantly) nothing wrong with being intercultural, where I come from is something so common that we don't even notice it, in Venezuela the one who sells you coffee is a Colombian, the one who sells you electronic items is  a very nice Chinese who always shouts, the baker is always a Portuguese, the owners of the best restaurants in the country are mostly Italian, the ice cream makers (9 out of 10 of them) are Haitian, many teachers are from Argentina and Chile, and the  clothes you buy from an Ecuadorian while the Salvadoran sells you milkshakes and cotufas, and they all dress the same, they all teach you to say "good morning, please and Thank you" in their languages, and they all send their children to  The same schools.

Where the only ones come from, literally the only ones who live apart from the rest are the Jews, most of them live in very expensive residences in places away from the rest because they want it, they don't speak Spanish and they don't even make a minimum effort to learn it  , they send their children to special schools for them and try not to join with others, but if from time to time you are lucky enough to cross one of them on the street, by good habit you greet him with a smile, and if he takes children  Little ones you greet them too with a big smile, showing that you are willing to be their friend.

Where black and white come from are not at all offensive, and we all understand each other the same, even my sisters call me "negrito" (little black child) and it's a term of love, no, it doesn't have any racist connotation,  no, it has no "history of racism and confrontation in remembrance to the times of slavery" or anything like that garbage that modern keyboard activists want to sell you.

Where I come from, your grandmother tells you "that's Lola's portrait, she was a friend I used to play as a child, she was a granddaughter of a slave who worked for your grandparents' family", and that's it, I just don't know  It puts more hate on the subject, the truth is not worth doing, it is something of the past, my grandmothers are totally different from me, very short, with red skin and very long black straight hair, one of my grandparents is a  German white like milk with beautiful blue eyes, and the other is a Turk with curly hair and brown eyes, and they all get along with each other.

Perhaps my country is one of the worst in terms of economy, but my country is proof that something like "cultural appropriation" only exists in the heads of racists who want to put barriers, limitations and borders on everything  That crosses your path.
