Cultural Appropriation and Donkeys
No matter whether you see it as an ancestor, or a descendant domestic donkey (Equus africanus asinus) is one of the hoofed mammals of the family of Equidae. Originally from Africa,
Bbw the domestic donkey comes from the African wild ass. Depending on the species, the domestic donkey may be classified as a subspecies of the wild ass or a separate species.
Arse vs.
"Arse" is a British slang word for a'stupid person But is it an equivalent of 'ass'? This is where there is confusion, since both are based upon horses, which are a kind of creature. 'Ass' is also the correct name for
Bbw a donkey in the USA.
The word arse originated as an innocuous name for the body part however, it has since become a vulgar term. "Ass" was an alternative to the arse term in the 19th century. It was originally a term used to describe horses or other animals However, by the 1860s, it developed into an expression of the posterior. It is also used in the phrase "to get arsey about". "To make an ass of oneself" also makes use of the word "ass" which is associated with "to arse around". However, there are many threads of meaning from arse that do not appear in the word "ass".
Appropriateness in popular culture
We often see cases where an dominant culture is able to adopt elements from a minority's culture. This practice, known as cultural appropriation, can lead to disrespect from minority members. If you are wearing an Native American headdress at a music festival or wearing blackface for Halloween, a lot of Black people believe that it is an act of patronizing.
In addition to incorporating aspects of minority cultures, a dominant group can also make use of intellectual property belonging to the minority group. Blackfishing is a prime example. It is important to keep in mind that people of color have a long history of being marginalized and disenfranchised. For instance, if you see a person of color wearing a costume of blackface it is important to consider the history of black people being marginalized.
