If we're gonna talk appropriating culture, I think I'd be on thin ice talking about most of them; so I'm taking a different approach and and saying that I'd choose skater culture.
Oh wait, I'm just now skimming the other posts... and I guess I'm going with the more controversial topic. If I had to choose cultures that I respect/like... that's another story. I mean, I would like to respect all cultures, but if we're talking cultures I've learned a bit or more about, that narrows things down. Since I was just talking to Naoni about wanting to visit Copenhagen still, I'd say Danish culture :D The whole hygge thing is pretty neat and I support that. I also really appreciate Black American culture since, ya know, so many "American" cultural things should really credit this. Music and food and clothes etc, it's all admirable! And I know this might be "fair" to say, but I also respect Korean culture a lot. I don't know a lot of things about it, so I think I can say that... I know some people think it's irritating/unequal to have honorifics, but I think it's cool (Mickey mouse meme)
But ANYWAYS, I don't want to appropriate those cultures necessarily. But I will say that I'd appropriate skater culture :D Skate or die, am I right? I don't like skaterboi culture that much, but I think roller derby is super cool so that's more what I'm talking about. You guys ever seen Whip It? Yeah, that movie's stuck with me for a while. I always wanted to do roller derby, but... it kinda seems scary that you have to bump people and stuff. So I'll just be a wannabe in the meantime. Have you ever thought of what your derby name would be?
Sorry this post isn't that thoughtful or developed... I don't really have an excuse but :) sometimes that's just what you get.
I like this post, it was very stream of conscious. I like your safe approach to this week’s theme as well! I don’t know much about skater culture outside of going with my friend to the skate park and seeing people fight and insult each other but I guess it’s pretty cool. As for derby names, I never really thought of one. What are some sample derby names you got? Korean culture is pretty cool— tbh any culture other than my own I find very neat unless I notice is appropriating something and claiming it as there own. And yessss! Let’s hygge it up next time we hang ;)
I like your approach very unique. But i love the mickey mouse reference. Anyway BLACK POWER forever lol. I really don’t know much about korean culture as much as I should tbh since I’m around it so much. I need to stop having a nonsensical aversion to the culture and dive into it!
