Question

[soyundorito]

So someone (from the USA) posted a video saying how Asian women were "stealying" and culture appropiating latin culture by dressing like "Latinos" (wtf is that even) Honestly it bothers me more than someone think that we latinos own certain clothing style and that no one else should dare to use it rather than someone actually appreciating it and using it, to me that cultural apropiation thing is only USA problem, we live in the global connected era, it is mean to share and unite the cultures not separate them more, idk if its because I'm from "Latin America" and we do not use the same terms than in the USA but here pretty much everyone is chill about things like that, and rather than by colors we adress each other by nacionalities, you will never see anyone from here say "im an African Peruvian or Chilean, Argentinean, Uruguayan, etc" it'll just be "i'm Peruvian, Chilean, Argentinean, Uruguayan, etc" yet in the USA it happens and whie people too when the say they're German or Italian.

btw we "latinos" come in different forms, there are Indigenous, White, Black, Asian, etc, so no, there's not a certain way that we look because we are all different, we don't even get along that well either anyway, the term was just created to put us in a separated Americans bag

What do you think about that? help me understand the US pov

A korean couple came to my country (romania) and had a traditional romanian wedding, in traditional clothes and everything. Everyone here found that really cute and were happy that our culture is appreciated. The cultural appreciation thing is just some american bullshit thing invented by people who don't have real problems anymore.

America loves to pawn of its problems with culture and identity onto the rest of the world
