[QUOTE="sawdust, post: 1326544, member: 11613"] there are (IMO) certain "cultural appropriation" arguments that have some merit (or at least are not unreasonable and deserve honest consideration), but, as with most things, it gets taken way too far. the problem in this context is that EVERY GROUP borrowed/stole something from some other person/group. if you take this nonsense to its logical conclusion, we'll be left with no language, art, music, architecture, science, etc. and our ability to live together will be fatally eroded. it'll be like the Tower of Babel, except applied to everything, not just spoken language.
