It seems that you either don't know what that is, or are using your own "mystical definition"

You're the one making the claim that I'm wrong.

And yet you're reluctant to explain how and why you think I'm wrong.

Besides, what difference does the dictionary definition make if it's not the one used by the SJW types across the media, web and college campuses every day?

It may behoove you to know them

Then again, it may not if you're not willing to have reasoned adult discussion about the topics

Though I agree we should all be having an adult discussion, your condescending reply to that poster was not helpful.

Just because liberal malcontents make up new reasons to divide people for their own purposes does not mean their claims are valid.
So just because a new or different phrase is concocted to try and justify said grievance, does not mean it's "actual definition" has validity.

I am reminded of this scene in a movie where the person goes from being normal to being convinced they are a victim;

I'm saying that what you're claiming is cultural appropriation is not actually cultural appropriation per the accepted definition,

And yet you're reluctant to explain how and why you think I'm wrong.

I just explained it, again.

You're aspiring to use the same rationale as people whose rational you disagree with?

So why not just tell me what your accepted definition is?


Because I'm not the one claiming the examples I used are actually cultural appropriation.....


The SJW types protesting those things are.

Personally, I think the entire concept is a crock of manure.

But, you don't even know what it is
