The appropriated life for me

Classic piece of writing, type that made newsprint worth buying in old days.
My nephew tried to school me on cultural appropriation. It didn't end well.

Plan on sending this to my daughter who just started college as an inoculation against this insanity.

Great and funny read.

Only perpetually enraged liberals could make "cultural appropriation" a thing. Now I agree, in some rare and ridiculous cases, culture is really appropriated and not simply borrowed. But in almost all cases, humans do what humans have been doing from the beginning--copy each other. In art, music, fashion, food, technology, sports, home decor...just about every endeavor you can name.

It's so stupid. To quote an old saw, the stupid actually hurts.
