[almostdone]

when will this "cultural appropriation" trend die already, its getting ridiculous at this point 

[Kim Seolhyun]

Nobody is gonna say anything because everyone on this site is so far up her ass

[Königin]

Black Egyptians exist....... but this isn't cultural appropriation 

[Green Willow]

Black Egyptians exist.......

race doesn't equal culture, darling.

[Lil Ayy Big Gay]

She looked gorgeous

[Anki_tao]

  this is getting too much

[Hizu]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

 

 

This, like every other "cultural appropriation" controversy, is a non-issue. People have too much time on their hands and decide to spend it like this, smh...

 

I want to see how people moaning about cultural appropriation elsewhere are gonna instead defend Rihanna here because she's black. Anticipating.

 

[Königin]

race doesn't equal culture, darling.

Correct. However, this isn't cultural appropriation.

 

Someone from the dominant culture must be using marginalized group's culture in a mocking way or making a profit.

There's a difference between East African and West African, just as Koreans can't claim culture from Thailand or Japan just because they are Asian.

[Yeriana Grande]

...It's for Vogue Arabia...so they had to have dressed her up like this on purpose...

 

Are people really complaining about this...really?

[snowdjinn]

you Americans better worry more about your president Trump .... and less about unimportant stuff like this.

Correct. However, this isn't cultural appropriation.

She's American, while Egypt is a third world country.

[Clover.]

But weren't Egyptian pharaos black? Ancient Egypt= Kemet= Black country. Vogue Arabia is the one that shouldn't be using such concepts, it's not their culture. Well, if we go by those tweets' logic...

[zella]

Lmao,someone thirsty for RTs but unsuccessful. :// People can be cover on different country's magazine cover,there is nothing wrong with that.

This is so DUMB.

[bluequail]

isn't she egyptian(like heritage wise)

I remember she got the egyptian goddess tattoo(Iris?) because of her grandmother who for whatever reason i think is egyptian

[Scandal101]

nvrm

[GREATtime]

Who cares what Egypt used to be, look how shitty it is now.

[Königin]

She's American, while Egypt is a third world country.

 

Are Egyptians a marginalized group in Egypt? No.

[RiseLikeACrowTit]

Was Nefertiti muslim?, because I know she was black, so there's that...... what are they mad at ....................NOW!?

[satoori]

Vogue Arabia were the ones who chose to put her on the cover with this concept...what's the problem again?...

[Green Willow]

Correct. However, this isn't cultural appropriation.

the loopholes and tenderfooting, dear lord

 

but if this was any white celebrity i bet you wouldn't try to scramble and stumble around and say "oh there's white egyptians" as if that matters. proves you can't even disconnect race from culture. your damage controlling is very sexy, keep it down next time okay boo?

[youtrieditduh]

are they talking about the  hat/head thing only cuz I dont see it otherwise . 

[snowdjinn]

Ancient Egypt was a long time ago. To be exact, Nefertiti was 3300 yrs ago !!!

 

You know how much culture gets mixed up  in over 3000 years ? There is no way you could find someone today with the same culture as Ancient Egypt Nefertiti from 1300 BC ! And also reducing it to black and white is stupid.

 

Do people really have nothing better to do than this ? OMG.
