Cultural Appropriation  [ Fri Oct 5 2012 11:34 AM ]

Yes there is a test for verifying “Raza-ness” as public commenter PB5000 asks in the Alibi online comment section of my “Butt-Hurt About Lynette” (for the record- I didn’t title it that) letter to the editor. And that is to simply ask a person if they are (Raza, Hispanic, Chicana, Mexican etc) and that is what I simply did and she simply said no. I’m not stereotyping my regional language nor am I “claiming” my “native culture”. I’m just being me and raising a point about cultural appropriation. And no it is not racist to ask someone how they identify themselves or to call out someone or an institution for being racist.
