  1. So now this postmodernist rubbish has infiltrated the older gen in Japan. So sad.

  2. @Trinity M your comment doesnt even make sense. Anyone who grew up around the music or hanging out with black people grew up with the culture. I grew up with it since the age of four. Not sure why you're associating me with people who dont care about black people. Getting me mixed up with someone else. I dont know what "exist in a bubble outside of us" even means. Or what you mean by "not one of us". I'm def not one of you. The black people I grew up with arent either. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guessing you're Gen Z, grew up on social media or are an American. I've never encountered black people like you until social media and by that time I was fully grown and well into my 30s and spent basically 30 years around black culture and more than half my life around black adults/nightclubs and dating black men. I dont know what weird, extremist culture you come from but it isnt the one the vast, vast majority of black people come from. I hope you get help for whatever happened to you to make you view life in such a way. You're hostile, racist and dont seem to have an understanding of how cultural assimilation works seperate to skin tone. You're very damaged. Good luck with that and whatever social group you move with. None of the black people I've come across think like you so you're random opinion has no bearing on real world interactions. :) .

  3. 90s kid here and I started clubbing mid 90s with black people and they taught me to canerow my hair and I used to canerow, braid and dread their hair and it wasnt a conversation past "your hair looks nice, who did it? Can you do mine, how much do you charge?". This "cULtUraL ApProPrIAtIoN" has only become a thing really 5 years ago. Fed up as now I have to worry when I go out with my hair canerowed. Or when I wear my clothing that has foreign influences.

  4.  @bear4045  is Tweet fully black though. She may have mixed lineage in her ancestry. And god, what a throw back. Forgot about her. The 90s singer who did that "rude" tune about touching herself. 😂 That was the era when TLC bought out the same type of tune.

  5.  @AngelicoCiudad  woke isnt a good thing. Woke has caused more racism and set race relations back by 40 years. UK wasnt woke and we were doing just fine. We had a great race relations here and people of all races. Then woke culture got transported to UK over the last 5 years and now its completely set us back.

  6. You had that Irish guy collab with Laoshu. Xiaoma, Frankie and Steve all wanted to meet Laoshu. Aswell as the others I imagine. I'm a learner but not a Youtuber and I imagined meeting Laoshu and Xiaoma. And I cried when Laoshu passed and still get choked up.

  11.  @elizebeths.8880  how so what?

  12.  @elizebeths.8880  there's very little diff. You appropriate when you assimilate. It's basically the same thing.
    1
  13.  @elizebeths.8880  I'm not looking up a video that some layman made. Amyone can make a video on YouTube. Fake news. Im going by the etymology of the word. To appropriate means "to make ones' own". I'm not going to give you credit for getting your definitions off Buzzfeed. And you used a fallacy saying it matters if it comes from a famous person. Famous people get things wrong too. And I dont know who that ref you suggested is nor do I care. I care about what the word it means and not what some racist academics have twisted it to mean. Either way copying cultures isnt wrong. We all do it and I've been canerowing mine and black peoples' hair for nearly 3 decades. So SJWs who have made this an issue the last 5 years can get bent.

  14.  @ruinaar2495  one African woman was getting ganged up on on Tik Tok for speaking her Jamaican husbands language. This is when The Left eats itself. What woke black people started has now come back around. Unfortunately its innocent black people feeling the brunt. I hope the ones being gatekeepers get a taste of their own medicine. Especially Kpop fans who love their K dramas and kimchi. I'm waiting for an Asian to give them hell so they know just how racist and exclusionary it feels so they learn to stop this nonsense.

  18.  @sazji  ahh. Yeah. That's crazy. They read too much media or prob did a liberal arts course. These people need to try living in the real world and base their beliefs on that.

  19. It encourages peope to learn a language. Frankie Light is the perfect example. People dont have to approach languages the same way. There is no rule. .

  20.  @lyn3325  nothing wrong with accidentally bowing to westerners. You're part of that culture and like anyone from said culture you're mannerisms are part of you. Ignore postmodernism. It's clearly messing up your thought processes and giving you unnecessary hangups

  21.  @geoffreyryan5846  what is wrong with people wanting to touch you when they might have not seen many foreigners. Asians can be like that. They're curious. They stare or touch. That's not uncommon. Ita diff cultural norms. In UK that's not strange either but I always hear Americans complain about being touched like that have this weird hang up over it.
    1
  22.  @geoffreyryan5846  you sound unhinged. There is nothing wrong with touching other people. It's about HOW you do something. People touch people all the time, like when they pass each other on the street and put their hand on someones back to gently usher them to move. There are diff contexts and ways to touch people. Your thinking isn't normal and it's funny I never heard any of this crap until the last few years on social media. Try not to let the internet brainwash you.

  23.  @kaseyc9459  the context you used it was woke. You also mentioned minorites, another woke term. We didnt have a concept of minorities growing up and still didnt until about 5 years ago. Before that we were all the same. Any of us could experience racism in any given situation. You indentarians have switched up perceptions and created a false reality
    1
  24.  @kaseyc9459  you used them in a woke context which was what I was contesting. The concept of racism was always in existence but not the weird spin people have done to it. When a concept has been a certain way for decades to then suddenly change it (to woke racism) to exclude one set of people in a means to be racist scott free towards them then it doesnt reduce racism. It increases it. Woke ideology helps noone. unfollowing

  25.  @Catlily5  I'm not from The US. In UK we never used that term until maybe 5 years ago. I have since seen it in police writings but the average Joe wasnt privy to those. I grew up predominantly with black people and we just didnt use that type of terminology and we never saw black people as weaker or lesser or whatever the term minority implies. We were all equal but came in diff percentages which was always totally irrelevant when it came to racism. We were never diff or less capable or any of that. Minority denotes oppression or weakness. Us average people just dont speak that way. Its academic jargon.

  26.  @Catlily5  it should mean that but it's now being used to mean supposedly oppressed races.

  27. @John Jane the whole world doesnt hate you guys. And I dont know what white propaganda you're referring to. The only thing that would make me hate a black or latino person on this topic is if they're being racist, a bit like how you're being.

  29.  @WovenOcean5605  in my experience growing up with black people for 30 years and canerowing my own hair and canerowing theirs and being paid for it they never said anything about it. The extent of the convo was "your hair looks nice. Can you do mine? How much do you charge"? To me its def people being racist not liking white and asian people copying them. Ironically black Kpop fans are known for this with many having been doxxed as a result. They're busy "profiting" off asian content yet get mad when asians have a career based on black culture. Height of hypocrisy

  30.  @shy8054  they conflate appropriation with misappropriation.
    1
  31.  @cl3menti74  People from said cultures profit of badly made products aswell though. I know black people who have black hair salons who cant canerow for shit. Someone I know personally. I dont personally know of any examples where someone does canerow but hates black people. I see people make this stuff up all the time but never any evidence for it. Seems like a lot of passed on rhetoric that people picked up off others doing the same. Like when people lied about Jay Park being against black people. A ridiculous claim to say the least. You misunderstand what appropriation is. Appropriation means "to make ones' own". Every human being in existence appropriates. The thing is that term is an extremely new word in the public sphere and it gets used diff by diff people. People should just speak in plain terms instead of people talking past each other with diff definitions. I'm someone who prefers to stick to the etymology and first usage of the word. Not the recently conceived pop culture version. So in plain terms all people copy each other and not everyone imitates as good as the next person regardless of race. That isnt a diss to the race. Idol rappers arent dissing black people anymore than Migos is. All races do piss-poor imitations and profit off them. I rarely see Kpop fans call out the wack black rappers. I also often see Kpop fans conflate pop and r&b with hip hop. I find that more disturbing as they use their race as a means to claim spokesperson for hip hop despite they dont understand anywhere near as much as many Korean rappers.

  32. To be fair you did make a video having a stab at those speaking multiple languages on low levels. Ok they used the word "fluent" but still...

  33.  @AngelicoCiudad  yep. We've really been hit bad. Have you heard of Youtube channel Triggernometry? Watch the most recent episode with Harry Miller about the war vet who got arrested for a meme and ex-copper Harry Miller had to step in and help because these new breed of officers are so incompetent and arresting people for memes instead of solving murders and rapes.

  34.  @Catlily5  you'd be wrong. I grew up on black music since I was 3. I'm now in my early 40s. I worked in urban clubs for nearly 20 years and I've dated black men for nearly 30 years. 9/10 of my exes are black and I was in urban clubs most nights of the week. I grew up immersed in black music culture, speaking Jamaican amongst my peers, canerowing mine and my black friends and black strangers hair. Just the other week a mixed race girl took my number at work as I said I can canerow and she wants me to do her hair. I'm guessing you're Gen Z or American so have a very diff view on race to older millenials and Brits. On top of that I also grew up with Arabic people, dated and worked with arabic guys. And I now hang out with oriental people, speak basic Korean and have worked promoting Kpop events.

  35.  @mocmocmoc13  I think he spoke it for a couple years but he was also studying other languages whole he spoke that. He used to hardcore study one language for 3 months and then go from there so he was using multiple at a time. He had to stop at a point or it starts to get too complex and he spoke 70 languages. So there is only so far you can study when you know that many. He was happier to communicate at basic level with 70 diff cultures rather than be fluent in a few

  36.  @GiggityCrabbityGiggity  nothing wrong with blackface. Black comedians and actors were in those shows. I'm going to guess you are young because you can go back just ten years and see comedy with blacked up comedians and black actors in those sketches. Same with asian make up and asian actors in the same sketches. This is all utter lies peddled by SJWs. One only need look at S'Mouse sketches with Beyonce's dad in those sketches. Or Little Britain or Bo Selecta or as far back as The Minstrels show with black actor Scatman Crothers laughing up in the background at the comedians. Sick of the lies. The video evidence is there. And black people get a ton of recognition for their cultural creations/contributions. Another lie to claim otherwise.

  37.  @AiyameXi What is your problem? I was using an example. And you're mad because it's not the "right" example? Even though it completely refuted your point so that you had to admit black culture IS widely consumed by the world and not held back the way you claimed? This is mental illness, you do know that dont you? I'm well aware black culture=/=hip hop. You're talking to someone who grew up for the last 30 years with black people and most my exes are black. Not all black people even like hip hop. But stay being an insufferable twunt who complains about absolutely nothing. Let me guess, you're American arent you? Even other black Americans have had enough of types you like. A blight on the earth who do nothing but destroy race relations. You're the type to be racist to a black person for not spitting the "right" narrative. Get a life, love. muting

  38.  @cottoncandykawaii2673  same as when they lump all white cultures under one.

  39.  @loriannrichardson7644  nope. Aiyamexi is NOT correct in claiming 'respect for black culture is kept to a minimum'. That's a complete and utter lie as shown by how popular black culture is. Nobody with a working brain takes you guys seriously. And what are you on about in regards to stealing? We weren't talking about inventions or works of art. We were talking about cultural practices like hip hop and hairstyles. This isnt the same thing. You cannot steal open and voluntarily shared culture. It doesnt matter how many times you kids keep repeating this trying to gaslight adults. We were there. We have lived sharing the culture for years. How in the actual f**k do you think you can come along after 50 years of hip hop and start saying it's being stolen or credit isnt being given? To whom? Do you realise even amongst hip hop heads its contested who started hip hop. You've got Hollywood (I realise I have to point out he is a dj as you likely never heard of him) contesting Herc being the creator. You are talking to a 40 year old hip hop head who has spent most her life growing up with black people part of hip pop culture and black hair culture. Been wearing my hair in canerow since the 90s and doing black peoples' hair since the 90s. The conversations of "stealing" didnt exist ATALL. You kids need to stop trying to rewrite history, sit down and listen to how things actually are. Not how your sjw fantasies would like them to be.

  47.  @minyaw1234  Americans dont either though. I grew up on hip hop and they always accepted other races. Yes, you had some racism but latinoes and blacks grew up alongside each other. You have all races in DMC (hip hop deejay comp) and BC One (breaking/breakdancing comp). CA is a fringe thing in America. You always have latinoes in all the old hip hop movies and all races in the music videos doing the same things. The "trying to be black" slur was rare. I think it was when Em came out that there was some fuss made because it was rare to see white emcees aside from latinoes and Beastie Boyz.

  48.  @ILoveTokioHotel.  other races wear braids as a protective style. That's the whole point. It isnt bad for other peoples' hair. It protects it the same way. And how is it relevant if black American slaves were the first in America to rock a particular style of braid. Its conpwlrely irrelavant. They werent the first to rock braids. Nobody knows who was. The earliest depiction we have were the Greeks. We also copy buns and pony tails from the Greeks. Should black people stop wearing them or stop being so damn racist and petty..

  49.  @sakuraknight1508  "falsely mimic"??? What does that mean? And many Japanese people like weaboos. Its complimentary. It's only the over the top ones who are a bit embarrassing. Be grateful people like your culture so much they want to copy it

  50.  @Sonnenanbeterin1991  but that's the thing, isnt it. Why would someone wear something of another culture if they thought it was funny? Also people make fun of diff aspects of their own culture and should be able to do that equally with other cultures/races because you dont have to like the whole culture. I love Jamaican culture but I can simultaneously make fun of parts of it because it isnt making fun of people for their race and I'm under no obligation to like all of their culture same as I dont like all of mine. I love aspects of Korea/Korean but I cannot wrap my head around their general fashion styles. I find them unfashionable and frumpy and irritating. Its something I'll likely never get used to as I grew up with that style being deemed unfashionable in my own culture. It doesnt mean I'm racist. It doesnt mean Jay Park was racist for hating Korea's food and culture when he first moved there.
