I think a good rule of thumb for getting offended is to first ask yourself: does this really offend me, or am I acting offended on behalf of some other theoretical person who's not actually here? And if it's the latter, then you probably shouldn't be offended.

It's just a rule of thumb tho. Like if someone is saying "death to jews", you still have every right to oppose that even if you aren't a jew of course.

OK. But can we NOT ethnically clense Hispanic people? Please?

What everyone forgets on both sides is it is about NON-ETHNIC companies making profits on ETHNIC traditions.

Imagine if your uncle Jeffy, a staunch republican who is against native American rights to their lands, starts using his multimillion dollar garment company to make native American headdresses and sell them on Amazon. THATS the root of the cultural appropriation craze.

Naturally both sides have descended into idiocy.
