Wasn't there an article or something recently that explained that the native American headdress isn't a good example since it was the equivalent of a knights armor or something? And so if one is CA the other should be as well? I read it awhile back so I'm a bit fuzzy on what was exactly said

Its like playing the race card. People use it when they can't come up with anything better. I'm not saying that they don't face racism, never claimed that, i'm saying that its a dumb thing to claim when there's more legitimate issues going on. You have people bitching about clothing in museums or people using words from a language whe you have legitimate prejudice.
Like I said with the race card, when I was a cashier I'd have black people try to pull the " its cause I'm black " when I couldn't do something for them, even though the area is HEAVILY black. You have people claim cultural appropation to bring their issue to light, but if its a stupid issue like that people aren't gonna take you seriously.

" In fact, the whole world hates Americans more than we like to think. And Japan still hasn't gotten over Hiroshima or Nagasaki "
My dude. We know the world hates america.
And yeah no shit? It was a tragedy? But the Americans that did that are super old or dead. Be mad that someone killed your family but if their kid or grandkids didn't do anything to you your beef isn't with them.

And that's just your one friend. I don't know her or her situation but just because she finds it annoying doesn't mean I have to listen to her when there's plenty more Japanese people who wouldn't agree.
Also " cool to steal Japanese culture " no on goes " oh look at this japanese thing, I like it, its mine now " no, they do what people do with media, they consume it. Just because they see someone say Kawaii on something and start saying doesn't mean they're stealing or appropriating Japanese culture.
And if Japanese people weren't cool with Americans doing any of that stuff in the first place, why would they make it over here? Japanese shows wouldn't get subbed or dubbed, kimonos wouldn't be able to be bought by foreigners, etc.
And I can complain about Americans all day stealing from Irish culture but does that make it anything more legitimate than complaining? No.

@hopeforall that's not what a weeb is? A weeb is one of those crazy anime fans that think Japan is exactly like anime portrays and that the streets are paved with waifus and use badly broken Japanese. They're annoying to everyone, not just the Japanese, and the majority of them are like 12,13,14.

I mean its hard to make a solid rule when, like you said, its not ALL. If I grew up around Hispanics and sugar skulls ( which I did) would that make it cultural appropation? Cause I lived in the culture but I'm not Hispanic. Even then, there's plenty of people who DON'T live the culture and feel they can make rules just because they're racially apart of it ( like when Japanese people in Japan not caring about white people wearing kimonos or getting lucky cats but Japanese Americans who's parents don't even know any of the language act as if they're the rule makers for Japanese cultural appropation)
If anything, since its not agreed upon what we should do, shouldn't we be allowed to do something as long as its respectful? Girls wearing bindis to coachella isn't hurting the thousands year old Indian culture, people doing sugar skulls isn't anything other than people doing sugar skulls, its not doing anything negative towards Hispanics.

Not really. There's plenty of Hispanic and Indian people who really don't give a shit. Those a surface things for the most part, and even though they may not know the origin or every aspect of it, they aren't being racist.
If we're counting those as cultural appropriation then everyone but Irish descendants need to stop all Halloween activities and you better not ever make a meal if that meal isn't from your culture ( so no more fried chicken or ice cream if you aren't Scottish or Chinese)

My issue was mainly with the people who would slow waaay down or stop and barricade traffic in the hall because their classroom was right there and they didn't want to leave their friends and they just don't move and you have to fight them or the oncoming mass of people from the other side

Wasn't there a study proving the " wine conesseurs " we're full of shit and they figured it out by giving them cheap wine and glasses from the same bottle saying they were vintage and expensive?

I mean, there's a difference if they know the person and they're trying to get both sides of tbe story vs they don't know the other friend who got so mad after a disagreement he sent me a literal short story length message about how I'll never be shit and I'm terrible and my SO of 5 years should leave me and then the person going " oh well maybe they just had a lot on their mind/bad a bad day " trying to justify such a shitshow because " they had their reasons "

But no one said marriages are all happy fairytails?
All kissalinda said was that if you think marriage is the end or that its automatically terrible, you shouldn't get married and you owe it to your partner who doesn't find their commitment to be " death "
And you can DEFINITELY speak on the nature of marriage if you're saying something that's true for ALL marriages. Like if you say you shouldn't abuse your spouse or have multiple affairs.
