Culture Appreciation - Tumblr Posts

While seeking inspiration for my graduation dress, it dawned on me the origins of cultural appropriation. I was to be honest, quite upset that I could not wear the beautiful designs of cultures outside my origin for fear of misappropriation and yet, I was consoled by the fact that I had the culture of my origins to tap into (Chinese-Indonesian). Certain dominant cultures do not have this. I am by no means making a mockery of these cultures or giving them leeway for cultural misappropriation, but I profess, feeling some form of pity for them and maybe irony. I guess, these cultures were too busy stealing the works of other nations and forgo developing their own.

reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.
