There is nothing wrong with everyone enjoying each otherās cultures so long as those cultures have been shared.Ā
Eating Chinese food, watching Bollywood movies, going to see Cambodian dancers, or learning to speak Korean so you can watch every K drama in existence is totally fine. The invitation to participate in those things came from within those cultures.Ā The Mexican family that owns the place where I get fajitas wants me to eat fajitas. Their whole business model kind of depends on it, actually.Ā
If you see something from another culture you think you might want to participate in, but you donāt know if that would be disrespectful or appropriative, you can justā¦ask. Like. A Jewish friend explained what a mezuzah was to me, recently. (Itās the little scroll-thing near their front doors that they touch when they come into their house. It basically means āthis is a Jewish household.ā)
āOh, cool,ā I said.Ā āCan I touch it? Or is it only for Jewish people?ā
āYou can touch it or you can not touch it,ā she said.Ā āI donāt care.ā
āCool, Iām gonna touch it, then.ā
You want to twerk, twerk. Iāve never heard a black person say they didnāt think anybody else should be allowed to twerk. Just that they want us to acknowledge that they invented that shit, not Miley fucking Cyrus.
