Before I too am protected from cultural appropriation by the most common method proscribed by enthusiasts enthralled by the goal of preventing anyone from using in any method or situation a culture of anyone else by forcing everyone else to not mention the culture again, let me tell you the culture of which I am a part. .............
The following is secretly released by me: It's too late. I've been culturally protected (erased). Along with the infinitely endless list of unnamed cultures they are protecting from appropriation. None of which, as a result, will mankind ever hear about forever more. Just as diamonds, it is rumored, are forever. (1)(2) So too is the protection against cultural appropriation.
Yes, logic & reason do not exist in this ideology. Perhaps this intellectual field should be called Appropriation Ideology (AI). No one would get that confused with something else.
If you ask these courageous defenders, what is their culture? Anticipate a confused look on their faces.
Note: In this cultural appropriation section:
(1) Diamonds are Forever, the movie: the 7th James Bond movie produced by Eon Productions. 1971.
(2) Diamonds are Forever, the song/title track for the movie. Sung by Shirley Bassey, Music by John Barry, Lyrics by Don Black. EMI 1971.
Sub-note: My mind is in a mental whirlwind resulting from the effort to prevent the cultural appropriation of language.

It struck me that the result from the effort to rid the past of the history of slavery now may come to the perfect ending with the elimination of a past problem that doesn't exist now. That itself deserves the "Go figure" award.

Many threads of wisdom flow freely, constantly or is it just reality like that expressed in lyrics in the Simon & Garfunkel song, "The Boxer" wherein stated: "All lies in jest when a man hears what he wants to hear and forgets all the rest". So, history is guided to the next round of mental boxing. With others sometimes?
