No action yet. He's just a male so-called neo-pop artist-provocateur pondering what some powers-that-be are saying:

If rhapsodizing over a Yoruba artifact is “a neat distillation of cultural colonial and racial appropriation,” isn’t a review of a contemporary Yoruba artist the same thing?

If the “Western gaze” has for 100 years “flattened” the “colonized cultures” of Africa, how does posing in African masks and fabrics today show they “possess their own spirits”?

Author Lionel Shriver dons a sombrero to lament the rise of identity politics in fiction

By Constance Grady @ Vox.com, Sep 14, 2016

Lionel Shriver, the Orange Prize–winning author of We Need to Talk About Kevin, is turning heads with her latest speech.

Delivering the keynote address at the Brisbane Writers Festival, Shriver gave a talk called "Fiction and Identity Politics," in which she argued that the concept of "cultural appropriation" was a made-up concept, one that she hoped would be a "passing fad," because it "is part of a larger climate of super-sensitivity, giving rise to proliferating prohibitions supposedly in the interest of social justice that constrain fiction writers and prospectively makes our work impossible."

Shriver argues that fiction writing, by its nature, demands that writers step into shoes that are not theirs, that they inhabit identities that do not belong to them. She worries that in a culture that demands authenticity in its depictions of marginalized peoples, writers may be more unwilling to try to write from those perspectives.

She herself, she says, gets anxious about writing in the voices of black characters, despite the fact that she grew up in the American South and has "a pretty good ear" for "black dialects."

Throughout her speech, she wore a sombrero, a reference to the mini controversy that came out of Bowdoin College last year when students at a tequila-themed party wore mini sombreros. ("We’re not saying it’s a fiesta, but we’re also not not saying that :) (we’re not saying that)," the invitation said.) Those students were later denounced by the student government for performing cultural appropriation [....]

The cultural appropriation

In reply to Appropriation in action

The cultural appropriation debate will continue because the true core is a discussion about white supremacy. Watching the Ford-Kavanagh hearing, the real-life double standard was apparent. If Ford behaved the way Kavanagh behaved, she would’ve been labeled hysterical. The cultural appropriation debate centers on ethnic minorities being criticized while whites receive praise. Black women are ridiculed for thick lips while white women feel free to get lip injections. Black buttocks are ridiculed while white women get butt injections. The debate about a double standard expands into pushback when whites wear hairstyles clothing clothing that would be criticized if one by black person. The cultural appropriation discussion will continue.

Social media allows comments made by ethnic minorities to reach the ears of the majority community. Some react with shock, how dare some of these minorities refuse to participate in our joy of appropriation.

The next James Bond director

In reply to Anybody up for a black James

The next James Bond director has been chosen, he is a multi-multi-ethnic American, pretty well qualified as one of them new non-tribal cosmpolitans (I should add that once upon a time Barack Obama was a very strange name, too). My underlining because: Hollywood can see that multi-ethnic globalism is the future, the money they are after is always with the teen and 20-something generations:

Cary Joji Fukunaga is directing the new James Bond movie. Here are 3 things to know about him.

He’s one of the most eclectic and sought-after directors in Hollywood today.

By Alissa Wilkinson @ Vox.com, Sep 20, 2018, 12:20pm EDT

[....] 3) Fukunaga has an eclectic personal background too

Fukunaga has spent much of his life moving between cultures and absorbing them. His father, a third-generation Japanese American, was born in an internment camp in the US during World War II; his mother is Swedish-American. His parents split when he was a child, after which his father married an Argentinian woman and his mother married a Mexican-American man. Fukunaga is fluent in French as well as Spanish, the latter of which he learned during summers in Mexico with his mother and stepfather.

Fukunaga grew up in the Bay Area and once wanted to be a pro snowboarder, something he actively trained for, eventually living in Japan for a year. He majored in history at UC Santa Cruz and studied political science at the Institut d’études politiques in Grenoble, France [....]

Absurdity of Cleese's comment hits hard here, the global Borg didn't just appropriate the empire's best feature, it assimilated it:

Tiny island should be proud. Where is Latin now, for example? Nobody cares if someone tries to appropriate it.
