The Myth of Cultural Appropriation
Scenario #2 The Jenners - Recently, Kendall and Kylie began selling “vintage” band T-shirts on their website (for a cool $125), featuring their faces superimposed over various music legends, including Biggie and Tupac.
Scenario #3 - The novelist Lionel Shriver caused a sensation earlier this month when she spoke at the Brisbane Writers Festival on the subject of “fiction and identity politics.” She began the talk with several farcical incidents involving “cultural appropriation,” including college students who were criticized for giving out sombreros at a Mexican-themed party and a yoga teacher who was reproached for exploiting Indian culture. Shriver warned that this kind of political correctness now threatens a literary world in which charges of cultural appropriation allegedly punish white writers for writing about people of color or other people not like themselves.           Here is the link to her speech https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/13/lionel-shrivers-full-speech-i-hope-the-concept-of-cultural-appropriation-is-a-passing-fad
