November 1, 2013--HALLOWEEN PARTY COSTUME

Halloween Party Costume:

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!

(When my girlfriend and I were trying to look up how to say "cultural appropriation" in sign language, we couldn't really find it, so we broke it down into it's basic meaning: Culture Theft. So our interpretation was her as a stereotypical "thief" stealing items of culture from me, the Earth.")

(In case you don't know, here is the detailed definition of Cultural Appropriation from the Wikipedia article: Cultural appropriation is the adoption of some specific elements of one culture by a different cultural group. It describes acculturation or assimilation, but can imply a negative view towards acculturation from a minority culture by a dominant culture. It can include the introduction of forms of dress or personal adornment, music and art, religion, language, or social behavior. These elements, once removed from their indigenous cultural contexts, can take on meanings that are significantly divergent from, or merely less nuanced than, those they originally held.)
