I agree and I think it suggests an inverse relation with empathy (a trait also shared with narcissism).

I think a bigger part of it is the location he gives.
Take a look at this video of Tony Robinson. In the video, Baldrick does a Fat Tulip while walking around Melbourne. And if those five minutes are anything to go by, he’s a white person in a sea of white people (although if my own memories and Facebook timeline are anything to go by, the occasional Asian is there too). ...what do you mean you don’t know British comedy or kids shows? |

Frat boy wearing an Indian war bonnet: Cultural appropriation, because it takes something held as sacred and reduces it to a dime-a-dozen accessory. That is a legitimate concern. Woman bleaching/dying hair: a thing that is done all over the world. It has as much cultural relevance as owning a cat. |

I would like to issue a correction regarding my previous post, as I don't mean to give the impression that I (or anyone should) assume the worst of the cartoonist and hold the most charitable interpretation of his actions to an especially high standard of proof. Just that there are a range of negative attitudes one could reasonably see be conveyed by the cartoon in question, regardless of the cartoonist's intentions.

That would only be an effective argument if you hadn't ignored the people who've explained why your ideas are wrong. And you weren't repeatedly rejecting everyone else's explanations.

Yes, but you’re in a thread with people from multiple countries, almost all of which only share a majority white population and English speakers.

The trouble is that this implies that since Diane Kruger is white and her biggest role in English has been Sonya Cross in The Bridge, then she must be American. To get to that conclusion, you have to ignore that the character is supposed to be from Texas and that Kruger is actually German (she affects a strange “generic” accent, which is noticeable when the show is set in El Paso and Juárez). |

Note that damian's two assertions here which kicked off several pages of hijacked discussion actually have nothing at all to do with the question of whether the depiction of Williams was racist or not, they were just pure Whataboutery and are therefore attempting to muddy or distract from the actual discussion rather than contribute to it.

Perhaps you could instead counter with an actual example and show how so-called appropriation, as widely recognized by "SJWs", is either a) totally not harmful/margianalizing/demeaning to the source cultures or b) how those negative effects, while real, are outweighed by other positive effects or c) cultural appropriation is bad and you feel that... dare I say historically privileged, populations (like whites in America or Australia) have been harmed by it as well and here’s some example. |

Why do you assume I was talking about you? And where did I say only my ideas should be "used"?

Most people who complain about cultural appropriation are from marginalised cultures. Since you believe complaints about cultural appropriation are just whining, I wonder what your explanation is for the fact that it's people from these marginalised cultures who are most likely to engage in what you call whining. |

However, I am getting the impression that damian is trying his darnedest to ignore what racism looks like. Here are a few cartoons that may help: All This And Rabbit Stew Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs Goldilocks and the Jivin’ Bears |

Not at all. I have come to the conclusion that if you have decided it is racist, then nothing will change your mind. And I won't try any further. If you are offended, then be offended. That is your right. Your insistence that you are right is equal to my insistence that you are wrong. Let's just agree to disagree.
