Cultural Appropriation – what a nonsense idea! It’s all the rage with the PC college campi and Social Justice Warrior jihadists in that one culture (generally white because RACISM!) decides to seriously or lightheartedly take some aspect of an oppressed (generally non-white because RACISM!) culture (oops, I just appropriated “jihad” from a culture that is not my own). Like simply using their language (“putz”) or some other artifact (eg. that college president that threw a Mexican party where attendees donned sombreros, wore fake mustaches, and probably sang “Ay yay yay yay, I am the Frito Bandito”) – oh, the absolute horror of it all!
Well, in this light, I thought this was just grand, in the lane of “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Speaking of cultural appropriation, keep your mitts off mine. OK, fair is fair. As a white Christian, I won’t eat halal. I won’t eat Thai. I’ll even give up General Tso, which is something I actually do eat. Now give me back the polio vaccine. It is part of the Judeo-Christian tradition. It was developed by Jews (there are two vaccines).
Also, give back pasteurized milk.
The automobile. The airplane.The train. Electricity, the Internet, skyscrapers, radio, television, and the cellphone — or any other kind of phone. Transistors, too.
Jews and Christians have done more positive good for the world than any other group.
Slavery? Don’t go there. Slavery pre-dated Christianity and even Judaism. The Indians practiced it long before Columbus arrived, and long after. The only continent that never had slavery was Antarctica. . . .
If Jews and Christians are so evil, why is the migration to our countries? Don’t like cultural appropriation? Then get the hell off the computer.
But stay. We are Jews and Christians. We share.
Maybe we do. Sometimes, though, to stop a bully you have to go right up to them and punch them in the nose (sometimes figuratively and sometimes literally). Then they learn their lesson (sometimes) and behave themselves. Sometimes, you have to keep doing it over and over again.
And sometimes, with SJWs, all the time. Pretty much, they need it as they are as stupid as bricks. But sometimes, it’s also fun and gives new meaning to the phrase “hilarity ensued”.
