I don't think she should have had to apologize. SJW's are practically terrorists in their own right; certainly bigots.

 

[Revoltingest]

Tis weak to apologize.

Except for in a small minority of cases which are overtly disrespectful, cultural appropriation is simply a manufactured problem from people looking for something to be offended by.

I've also never seen anyone hound an Asian for having a "western style" wedding. This is a sacred ceremony after all so should be the most egregious form of appropriation...

The focus on vapid trivialities is often cognitive window dressing to obscure their egos from realising that while they don't like the status quo they don't really stand for anything.

Perhaps Karlie Kloss self-identifies as Asian? Racist, xenophobic, intolerant communists (aka "SJWs")!

Quoted from the linked article:

In 2017, Karlie Kloss is featured in US Vogue in yellow face. Absolute madness but I can't say I'm shocked. — Christiana A Mbakwe (@Christiana1987) February 14, 2017

"Christiana" should apologize for using a language which rightfully belongs to the English, and for appropriating a Western/Greek name (Christiana). Outrageous!

Emma Stone, Scarlett Johansson, and Tilda Swinton turn to Karlie Kloss. "Your turn, girl." Karlie on phone: "Hello, Vogue? Make me Asian." pic.twitter.com/zgUWIB022Q — Ira Madison III (@ira) February 14, 2017

Looks like the same goes for "Ira Madison". And, how dare xe call Karlie a "girl"!

 

[Quagmire]

Hey, know what? Mel Gibson isn't really a Scottish Highlander! He needs to apologize for Brave Heart!

Marlon Brando isn't really Sicilian! They need to apologize for the Godfather!!

Andrew Lincoln isn't really a Georgia Good 'ole Boy! They need to cancel the Walking Dead!!!

And this! John Wayne as Genghis Khan! They need to . . .

. . . well OK, someone really should apologize for that one.

But the others are valid sarcasm.

As @Augustus said, in all but a tiny handful of cases, whenever I hear the term "cultural appropriation" these days I just assume the speaker is crazier than a **** house rat.

I made Thai rice and ginger pork (with pineapple, snow peas and asparagus) for dinner... sue me.

 

[Glaurung]

The fact that she apologised offends me.

Surely the name "ira" belongs to the Irish and represents their struggle for national self determination and freedom from the yoke of English colonialism.

Adopting it as a first name trivialises the struggle of generations of Irish people who have fought and died for the cause.

Pathetic attempt to gain maximum publicity for a rather mundane and disinteresting event.

Most any actor takes on other cultural roles hour 2 hour films, not a couple of photos.

What is the matter with SJW? They suffer from GHD and PFR in my opinion, but there you are.

Don't you dare say that Kirk Douglas isn't Spartacus!!!!!!

 

[Flankerl]

This just in SJWs are insane.

 

[HonestJoe]

I think the people that get all het up about “SJWs” are not really any different themselves. The apology has no more impact on your day-to-day life than the photoshoot had on theirs so why should your objection be treated any differently?

SJWs are practically terrorists? What on Earth are you talking about? Let me know the next time one blows up an abortion clinic.

 

[Father Heathen]

Yeah, I wouldn't have apologized. So are they going to start whining about kids dressing up as ninjas for Halloween next?

That's one thing that separates a "social justice warrior" from a legitimate activist; they fabricate controversies instead of addressing real and occurring cases of discrimination.

I mean really, did any actual Japanese take offense to the "geisha" costume, or was it just some whities getting offended on their behalf?

 

[fantome profane]

As a proud card carrying SJW, I don't even care about this. It's fine.

Terrorism does not equal extreme graphic violence. Terrorism, by it's very name, is the infliction of terror upon a person or peoples. Harassment, blackmail, and I would argue even the SJW's tendency to enact "mob law" to ruin careers and lives of people they deem "villainous." I couldn't tell you when they'll blow up a clinic, but I could let you know the next time they absolutely (and possibly wrongfully) ruin someone's career and reputation because they said the "n-word" thirty years ago, or said that Caitlyn Jenner isn't brave.

Well I think this is an unreasonably broad usage of the term 'terrorist'. It's lumping such people in the same category as Al-Baghdadi, Osama bin Laden and Joseph Kony.

I know; uncomfortable though that may be. Yet how many SJW's have literally been calling for the deaths of people like Milo Yiannopoulos? Quite a few, and all he does is speak his mind. How many have "pounded the pulpit", calling for an armed overthrow of the US government because their president didn't win? Sarah Silverman and Rosie O'Donnell certainly come to mind. How many college students have to live in stress and fear that the slightest fart is going to be misconstrued as a "microagression", and they'll have to speak with the school authorities and possibly be expelled or - as we've seen with many teachers - fired? (And relevant: that talk is being had in Kansas right now, upping "micro-aggressions" as grounds for expulsion and termination as early as Kindergarten. Catch 'em while they're young, right?)

The SJW warcry has growingly come to be "think like us, or we'll ruin your lives" through evidence of how they treat those they disagree with. Which is quite bigoted, given their purported mantra of tolerance. How dare a white guy dress up in a sarape for Halloween, but it's okay for them to harass, berate, and even assault him for his cultural affront that not even Mexicans seem to care about.
