So I was talking to this progressive and started out by saying "how you doing chief?" He immediately recoiled and said "you can't say that" Say what? "Chief" Why, I asked? Because its not only racist, its also a cultural appropriation. Haven't you been paying attention to what is going on in this nation with the gallant efforts to right wrongs by removing Confederate Statues, anything connected to the white racist Columbus and even Francis Scott Key? Well I...........he interrupted.

Chief is a term that was once exclusively belonging to the American Indians until the Pilgrims misappropriated it.
Today we find abuses with "Chief Executive or Operating Officers, "Chief of Police. Fire "Chief" Navy "Chief Petty Officer Kansas city Chiefs, and don't get me started on the Indian Braves or the Washington Redskins

Well, I asked do you suppose that when people, using your term appropriate, or mine adopted things as customs, foods titles that it may be a good thing because as they say "imitation is the best form of flattery".

Do you see the cultural appropriation of Italian, Mexican, French, German,.... customs, foods etc as a bad thing?

More to the point, when was the last time you ordered a pizza?

Well...last night. did you enjoy every slice of that cultural appropriation, pisano?

"So I was talking to this progressive and I ended by saying cultural appropriations ( adoptions of) is why America is called "the great melting pot"
