Who are you?- ode to Cultural Appropriation
Who are you
To criticize her
And wear her clothes
To make fun of her culture
But look in the mirror
And say "it looks good on me"
And wear it the next day, just because you can.
Because black people aren't pretty
It's just their
full lips,
dark eyes,
noses,
curves,
Brows,
hair and hair styles,
and music that is.
Because Indians are only 7 eleven cashiers
Definitely not the people who
Do your beautiful henna
Have cultural significance with the bindis
you love to go to Coachella with
Make beautiful music
And are beautiful people
So maybe before you sport generalized Native American feathers or dress up like Pocahontas next year, think about the parts of your culture you hold most dear. If someone sported it just because it's fun, that would be offensive if you were the one being made fun of.
