This college had their yoga classes cancelled because yoga comes from India.

Anyone who thinks that cultures don't interact and share practices needs a history lesson. The idea that all cultures should be segregated is less-tolerant than sharing them. Really sick of colleges that pander to these tumblr activists.

Cultural transmission is what it is called. It is why the US and Mexico have colorful pinatas :)

We would have a white girl riot in my college if they tried to ban yoga. It would be all pumpkin spice and pepper spray.

Well, I guess everyone needs to stop practicing Christmas and Halloween, which have Celtic and Pagan roots, since nobody's a pagan or considers their self to be Celtic anymore.

I'm all for "social justice" and cultural understanding.... when it makes sense. But god damn, some of this politically correct bullshit goes too far and starts to look like something from a South Park episode. I bet somewhere out there, some idealistic know-it-all college shithead is probably writing up a paper on how using chop-sticks is culturally appropriating Asian culture. My generation is becoming Generation Whine.

The white guy in dread locks with a full rasta getup who sells yoga mats at our local farmers market will be very upset, I know he would never do anything that could be seen as offensive cultural appropriation.

Okay, that university is just bat-shit crazy in general. Wow. I skimmed through the comments and saw something about how a fundraiser was refused because the victims of the disease were perceived to consist of too many Caucasian men (even though experts disagreed). In other words the disease lacks diversity and they felt it lacks political correctness and research for it isn't inclusive enough for their diverse community. It's like saying we should invest into research for sickle cell because it only affects Sub-Saharan Negroids.

There needs to be a new word or term to describe these people. I always get annoyed when some self-proclaimed "conservatives" or republicans sneer to themselves "liberals this and liberals that". They're not what I consider to be "liberals" at all. They're like.... neo-liberals or something.

Welcome to the plight of the responsible conservatives/republicans. I can't even read through a single conversation on here without finding out how racist I am.
