Is this cultural appropriation?

Almost can't believe I'm posting this, but would you have this image as your WhatsApp / Facebook profile image, visible to employers and recruiters etc.? Or is it somehow frowned upon because I'm wearing a silly virtual Aztec head dress :cry:

In what world would this even approach "cultural appropriation"?!? Inb4lock.

If you have to ask, you're thinking it, which means someone else probably is, which means by posting this here your life is already over once it makes front page of the BBC news site and it gets retweeted by some z list 'journo' on Twitter.

Kinda sad that you even think it could be.

I identify as a chocolate milkshake and this is offensive.

Yeah, expect the Nahuas to be in touch shortly.

Also, are you wearing two watches?

CapitalOne · 24 Aug 2023 at 08:35

That is your boy, right?

No need to risk it imo.

No, but posting a picture of your child online is the latest faux pas.

I really thought I had picked the correct mushrooms for breakfast this morning, but obviously I am now seeing things....

Cultural appropriation.............................. I consider myself a tolerant person and openly support a lot of the current things in the media that many would cry "woke " but cultural appropriation is one which is just too much for me to take seriously.

when a white person can get grief for having dreadlocks, or kids can be chastised for going to a fancy dress party i draw a line.

imo so long as you are not wearing something obviously inappropriate which is actively designed to cause offence (incredibly skimpy clothes, or a certain pointy white hat for instance) or something which is designed to deliberately take the **** out of a minority group then I say fill your boots.****

**** that being said I am semi regularly accused at work of not being professional so on your head be it.

This. Even worse if it's not his own.

In answer to the ops question.

No, it's not.

Is it wrong that I identify as a banana milkshake?
