The latest fad of the Western-culture-hating Marxists in academe,
television, the media, etc., etc. is “cultural appropriation.” Adopting
or even imitating non-American cultures is a grave sin. At least one
university has even prohibited the wearing of sombreros on Cinco de Mayo
Day (today) or calling it “Drinko de Mayo” (which would seem more
appropriate and fitting, by the way).
OK. In the name of egalitarianism, equality, all men are created
equal, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, then neither should foreign-born people
in the U.S. “appropriate” our culture. Like speaking English,
for example, or playing or watching American baseball, football, and
basketball. Not to mention NASCAR. No listening to or playing jazz,
Motown, Country, or Lynrd Skynrd music. No reading novels by American
authors or purchasing artwork by American artists. Talk about
appropriation! Or even wearing clothing with American sports teams
logos on it.
We also have a culture of capitalism that is more pervasive than all
of the “Third World” countries that a lot of immigrants come from (which
of course is why they are “Third World” economically). So it stands to
reason that only native-born Americans should be allowed to participate
in American capitalism. If you come from a country with a dictatorship
and essentially no civil liberties (Venezuela, for instance), then of
course you should never be allowed to appropriate our democracy by
voting here, and you should not have any of our civil liberties, either.
This is just a very short list for starters.
