lol I thought that was a troll but apparently she meant what she twatted. The reactions/comments are gold!

Dear Kirsten, you are clearly a racist colonial oppressor for appropriating an Irish holiday for your own political ends.

What’s ironic about all of this is that almost all of these Yale students, though desperate to prevent racist and insensitive cultural appropriation, would later go on to engage in insensitive, racist cultural appropriation themselves, as they have done year after year since early childhood.

Let’s be clear: Halloween is for Irish people and for Irish people only. Or, more precisely, it’s for people who are of sufficiently robust Gaelic descent. If you are not Irish, but you celebrate Halloween, then you are engaging in racist cultural appropriation.

Lol, that page mentions the term "Grievance Studies” witch is spot-on.

I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!

What about Asians wearing jeans-is that racist? Liberals are nuits-I can't believe they are looking at taking the house?

Happy Halloween to you too!

These Fucksticks can say some fucked up Bullshit like that but have a heart attack when My President Says he's a Nationalist.
I think Trump is working up to the next part at his next rally. He will clarify while he's a Nationalist. Nazis were Nationalist Socialists.
Nazis have more to do with Socialism than it did National Pride.

Great, all we need now is Elizabeth Warren telling us about her Irish heritage, and Hillary explaining how she always travels with a bottle of Irish Parsley sauce in her purse.

Lastly, Kirsten the Irish are not a bunch of pussies and we will celebrate our holiday any Fing way we want. I think his %50 Irish blood requirement would leave too many of us out- I am %25 and it was my great grandmothers who were %100.Really, if you want to be Irish, welcome.

Does Kirsten know she's WHITE PEOPLE? Maybe she was just being extremely introspective.

I notice a phenomenon of minority women dying their hair blond.
Cultural appropriation!

What should the French and Italians say?

Heraclitusstudent "What should the French and Italians say."
They may say whatever pleases them. Anyway, I am Buddhist and about 3/8 German and you can eat all the pretzels, schnitzel, and wurst you want. I just dislike presumptuous simpletons taking it upon themselves to dictate things far above their purview. I suppose my Buddhism is cultural appropriation?

Lattes, sushis, pizzas, "french" fries, wine, bread? Christianity, Christmas? Eating with a fork?

All these cultural appropriation are perfectly ok for Halloween.

And btw did Italians invent coffee? Nope. Most of the culture of most countries is borrowed from others.

The Italians did invent espresso though. So now are we appropriating two cultures by drinking espresso?

What’s with all the minority women dying their hair blond and culturally appropriating Swedes? Why is this ok! lol

If she squashes me while singing "white Christmas I'll let it slide..

Show some common decency.

Not if you call it 'expresso'. lol

Dear Assholes I'm White remember we don't give a fuck about cultures that want to drag us three centuries backwards, have to say about a goddamn thing! Especially not no White Race Baiting Commie Shithead Liberal. The worst of all the races.
Say it loud and proud assholes, I'm White and I'm Proud. Erh!!! Say it again! What? I'm White and I'm Proud! God Gawd Ya'll!
Erh! Erh! Erh!(doing the rain bird sprinkler...)

Oh my bad I said I wouldn't culture appropriate but I got a little carried away trying to Pwon commie cracker shitbirds. Muh Bad!

Kirsten talking always reminds me that she dated Anthony Weiner. Can you imagine?

This is all bullshit; I have discussed with several black females who are constantly trying to get hair extensions to have straight hair that they are making too much effort and spending too much money.

They don't stop however; notice Oprah and Michelle have had their very curly hair either straightened or more likely, have had hair extensions tied onto their real hair (a tedious process) I once told my friend she is trying to achieve "white" hair which is straight but she shouldn't go to such trouble.

Chinese co-worker: Oh, I see you have "appropriated" my chopsticks for use with your lunch today.

Me: I'll dump these chopsticks in the trash if you dump your clothes in the trash too. And your car. And your desktop computer. And your glasses. And your cell phone. And your...

"Cultural appropriation" is about 99% in reverse from what the Halloween-gate people would like you to believe.

TwoScoopsOfSpaceForce says

white people

It's addressed only to white people, i.e. only white people can be guilty of "cultural appropriation."

She should say rather that everyone who is not an Arab should renounce Islam. She can start by telling white people to renounce Islam, but she should really proceed to Africans, Asians, Australians, Europeans, and North and South Americans to be inclusive. If Islam can be reduced to its original peninsula, that would be a really good start towards ending it.

I don't know if you want to start that with the Chinese. They basically invented the gun(gunpowder) and writing. And don't forget Kung Fu movies!
