Cultural Appropriation and new Hair Update

We can’t assume it’s an accident and we can’t assume it’s divine. Both of those points are irrelevant.

Its not an accident, no one ended up where they are by accident. Its all part of a divine plan.

Are you serious now? This is exactly what she/he said.

That’s just as motivated as saying it is an accident. If you’re going to dismiss her point, you need to dismiss your own otherwise you’re being hypocritical

Because they said divine? Anyone can say divine. Non-religious people say divine. Divine is not a religious word.

That’s why I said personally. I don’t say it is 100% truth, it is just how I see it with my knowledge and POVs

And she’s also personally allowed to disagree.

This is true… the saris are cute and stylish but there are times when I see stories that wear out of context… Saris are attached and embedded to the Indian culture. Other cultures can use it too on certain occasions like Deepavali Racial Harmony Day because it reality most of the world is homoginised westernised we don’t wear our culture clothes anymore.

From various perspectives it can be right but it can also be wrong. Especially the hijabs… I have to politely correct couple of authors who may not realised but its not their fault. its cool they want to use these clothes :smiley: Its alright for stylish purposes but a call of sense of ethic awareness before using these things though because these clothes are sometimes worn for culture or even religious purposes. If we are to use something that is not a part of our daily life, it is on us to research and educate so that we would not portray others in the wrong way especially the groups who are marginalised badly in today’s society…

It’s neither though. Maybe a little spiritual not really but not religious. Don’t use those words for something it’s not.

You dismissed it, which would mean you’d be dismissing your original point too. If it’s not a legit argument that we’re here for a purpose, it’s not a legit argument that our culture is an accident either, which ruins your own point!

Then let me rephrase it a bit.

The fact that you were born in some specific culture, is not your achievement.

If being part of a divine plan isn’t a valid point for this argument, neither is the counter argument that we are here by accident. You can’t dismiss one without dismissing the other in a fair debate.

It’s also not my achievement that my parents earned money to pass onto me. That doesn’t mean I don’t inherit it.

Oh gosh. Divine “informally” means delightful, sure, but divine definition is “Godly” or “Godlike”

It can be used otherwise, but the first thing I think of when I hear “divine” is also with a religious or spiritual connotation >.>

Don’t equalize material things and non-material things.

They have a lot in common. You’re born into wealth and a culture. You inherit these.
