"A white comedian has been taken off the bill at a Montreal club because he has Dreadlocks, a hairstyle associated with Black culture.
The Coop les Recoltes excluded Zach Poitras, saying it wanted to be "a safe space, free from any link to oppression," and
described cultural appropriation as a form of violence." But blacks can have straight hair and thats not racist or cultural appropriation. Pi** on them and their safe spaces. |

"One could just as easily say blacks speaking English is cultural appropriation."
Exactly. And them wearing blue jeans or eating hamburgers is cultural appropriation.

Anyway it would be surprising if the people behind this decision were actually black. I would bet it’s uber liberal middle class white people.
My hairdresser does locing and I have seen her dreadlocks on white people. It never seems to bother her.

What are you talking about whether or not China / Chinese people refer to things as cultural appropriation (and there wasn’t much to discern from that photo.) What does that have to do with what a club in Montreal chooses to do? It’s wholly irrelevant to anything. (And who on earth says “blacks” - Jesus man it’s 2019, they are people.) |

I say "whites" sometimes, too (when in the grips of self-racism).

White US privileged mentality at work. Apparently they were shouting “build the wall” at that Native American guy which tells you all you need to know about the mindset that is pushing for the wall. |
