Eek!
Apologies for the unintended hiatus. But, we’re here, and gearing up with some new posts/submissions/questions for the queue, I PROMISE.
In fact, we’ll do a better job at taking advantage of the queue to keep things fresh! That’s what Tumblr is for, right?! *facepalm*
Keep it fabulously un-culturally appropriated, hipsters -

tomfooolery asked: i dont understand, why is every person wearing a headdress or sombrero racist? maybe im getting it all wrong but isn't it good to celebrate each others culture and try to break down barriers between ourselves which would make us scared of different traditions. This could apply to absolutely anything as race is like gender and gender like sexual orientation, we don't choose any of these...

Anonymous asked: yer kind of ignorant.
lots of people have pointed out your usage of stereotypes whilst decrying stereotypes. add in the use of ableist terms such as "dumb" & "stupid" and slightly sexist terms like "chick" & "girl" and you kind of wipe away your mission.

Anonymous asked: I can't tell you how much I have been interested in cultural appropriation and white priviledge recently. I've been thinking about it a lot actually and one of the examples I want to bring up and hear your thoughts on concerns the protests, rebellions & revolutions taking place in the Middle East at the moment. As an ethnic woman with Middle Easten roots brought up in the UK, I...
Anonymous asked: Do you think calling every fair-skinned young woman "white girl" is offensive? The term implies a vast degree of naïvety and ignorance, and if "white girls" are only thought of as such, why bother to change your attitude and be more conscious of your aesthetics? "White girl" enforces the patriarchal view of young women as incredibly dull-minded, curbing their...
Regular posting frequency to begin again soon....
I’m back from a refreshing visit with family in South Dakota. Refreshing seems like an odd choice of words, as Pine Ridge isn’t necessarily “refreshing” in terms of its systemic problems, but I miss them every day as I get lost back here in the city.
We’ve got a lot of questions and queued submissions to get through, and we’ll be posting those throughout the...
colormeradical asked: I dont know whats more FUCKING irritating.
The fact that the anonymous poster (that I just read below) insulted your education, or basically anyone who is getting a degree. Like wtf?
Or the fact that they are trying to tell you that you ARENT making a difference. "Stop it. Dont do that. Its a waste of time."

We've been a little busy at Hipster Appropriations...
Marquita’s going home to South Dakota for a few days and I’m swamped with thesis work.
Bear with us - we still have a backlog of questions and submissions to sort through. We’re not ignoring you, I promise we’ll get to it.
See you in a few days.

i found this thing and thought, my god, it’s like this shit was made for hipster appropriations:
