"woke" Idiocies – Now in Switzerland

White reggae band silenced by dreadlock row in Switzerland.–

Swiss reggae band "Lauwarm" was forced to halt a gig after being accused of cultural appropriation by audience members who complained about two of its white (!) members wearing dreadlocks.

The organiser of the concert in a restaurant in Bern, Switzerland, stopped the performance saying that a number of listeners had complained they felt “uncomfortable” because the band was committing cultural appropriation.

Evil cultural appropriators: Swiss Reggae band "Lauwarm"

The cultural purity which those wokies demand is not far away from "racial purity". 75 years ago, the ancestors of those "woke" idiots felt "uncomfortable" when white people played jazz, (because N word music).

@MrAverage1965 Really scary. When I was in Tunisia, I purchased a beautiful traditional costume. So I would no longer be allowed to wear it – that would be "cultural appropriation" 😐

@helenS I read about a teacher here getting disciplined for refering to her class (in an all girl school) as girls and not students. Apparently it's wrong for her to assume they all identify as girls.

@MrAverage1965 To quote you, "The world really has gone crazy".

@MrAverage1965 How times change. When I was at school we were boys (sometimes “you ‘orrible boys”) or occasionally pupils, never students. Students were at college. And if at school someone had said they wanted to be called something else because they “identified” as something other than a boy, they might have been caned, or beaten up by their fellow pupils!
