Cultural Appropriation and Donkeys
The domestic donkey (Equus Africanus asinus) is a hoof-mammal that belongs to the family Equidae. Originating from Africa the domestic donkey is derived from the African wild ass. Depending on the species domestic donkeys may be classified either as a subspecies or as a distinct species.
Arse vs. Ass
"Arse" is an British word that means "stupid person" however, it could also be used as a synonym for "ass". There's a bit of confusion due to the fact that both are derived from the horse-like animals. "Ass" is the correct word for donkey in the USA.
The word arse was originally an inoffensive term for the body part however, it has since evolved into an unpopular word. In the 19th century'ass was developed as an alternative to arse. It was originally a reference to horses or other animals, but in the 1860s it was transformed into an informal term for an afterword. It is also used in the expression "to go around'. "Ass" is also used in the phrase "to make an ass out of oneself as an association with the word 'arse about'. However,
Lesbos there are many threads of meaning from arse that do not appear in the word 'ass'.
Appropriateness in popular culture
In many cases, we witness instances where a dominant cultural group adopts elements of a minority group's culture. This practice, which is known as cultural appropriation can lead to feelings of disrespect among members of minority groups. For example, whether you wear the traditional Native American headdress at a music festival or wearing blackface to Halloween, many Black people feel that this is an act of patronizing.
In addition to incorporating elements of minorities' cultures the dominant group may also use intellectual property from the minority group. This is possible through blackfishing for instance. It is important to consider that people of color have a long history of being disenfranchised and marginalized. For
Lesbos example, when you see a person of color wearing a costume of blackface You should think about the history of black people being excluded.
