How STUPID And RACIST Is "Cultural Appropriation"?

Is it "cultural appropriation when black actors play the part of white Founders of the United States like in the painfully stupid musical "Madison"? Would it be "cultural appropriation" for a black man to play James Bond when Ian Fleming created him white? Does cultural appropriation mean NO black or Asian actor can play ANY of Shakespeare's lead characters, because they were all white, and can only Jews play Shylock?

Africans did not invent the violin and Asians did not invent the piano - should ALL blacks and Asians who play in classical symphonies be accused of cultural appropriation and be banned? In fact symphonies and the tone poems themselves were created by white Europeans; should an American Indian be prevented from ever conducting one at a concert?

Careful what you wish for Social Justice Maniacs...you might just get what you demand.

This left wing garbage will have very negative consequences if it's allowed to proceed. In a few years the left will be saying damn those repubs for dividing everyone into little groups and not allowing them to integrate. I guarantee it. It's what they always do. They get a wild hair up their ass, devise a plan, insist on implementing it and when it hits the fan they stand there and, without shame, blame the very ones who warned it was a bad idea. I'll give you a couple examples. One, and most won't remember this cause they weren't alive in the late 70's but the left fought very hard having temper tantrums i order to get the dangerously mentally ill let out of mental hospitals because they "deserved to be free". Well, that backfired. Can't put the genie back in that bottle. Another example was the left's crusade against competition. OMH there had to be a loser, how dare we teach kids that sometimes they might lose in life. Now look what we have, morons who get violent if they don't "win" their way.

@katielass Their focus appears so trivial but it never is. It is just insidious

@Abrienda Well the bigger picture is the ones pulling their strings want an uneducated, unable to think for themselves, mediocre population. That is so much easier to control. And when I say uneducated, I mean uneducated to the historical realities, uneducated to real critical thinking. Regurgitating what you've been indoctrinated with is not educated and it's not critical thinking on display. It's robot like.
