    To the lady who said you don't understand the meaning of the Sombrero. Let me explain, mi tio (my uncle) explained this to me when I was young.
    The sombrero is a hat. It provides shade when you are standing in the sun. Consider yourself educated.

    While I was in Japan I met a guy that was wearing cowboy hat, flannel shirt, jeans and cowboy boots. Chatted with him, and he loved ‘America’. He loved oldies and country music, and liked cheeseburgers and southern food. Was a Japanese guy who in his mind loved the parts of America he was passionate about, and obsessed over it. Was I about to school him on how just one cultural aspect isn’t all of America? No, man. He was proud to show his love for what he thought America was. I guarantee if he wore his getup and paraded his love in the US there would be a bunch of people stopping him and saying “uH AcTuAlLy, ThAts JuST TeXAs, US iS moRe ThAn THat”

Contrary to what the liberals try to tell you, most people are actually happy to see their respective cultures celebrated and genuinely appreciated by others. Let's face it - in a world in which so many cultures exist, it's gonna happen, and that's not a "bad" thing.

    I’m japanese, and one of my friends loves Chicano/Chicana culture. (It’s an ethnic identity for Mexican Americans who have a non-Anglo self-image, embracing their Mexican Native ancestry, in case you don’t know)
    She paints beautiful illustrations of chicanas, also she loves dressing up like a chicana and posting it on her instagram. Oneday, a girl from the US sent her a dm and insulted her drawing, also her being a fan of that culture by saying ‘it’s my culture! Not yours!!’
    She was shocked and sad, she even stopped drawing for a while since then.
    I was also sad, because all she does is based on her respect and love for the culture.
    In japan we love other cultures too, my college had a huge community that was called “African culture studies”, they play African instruments after classes and seemed so fun.
    Also I love Native American jewelry so much, there are many ppl around me who wears those Native American jewelry, because we love the craftsmanship.
    We just love other cultures respectfully as much as we love our culture

Cause I've met dozens of Eastern Asian, islander, white, and even European/middle Eastern homegirls that dress the part because they're down for their shit. And I wish she told my homegirl Kim that. With her big old hoops and pencil eyebrows. That looks so damn good in Loks in a flannel... What was I saying? 🤣 Tell your friend to love what she loves. Sending her Chicana card in the mail.

    Besides, there was a gigantic migratory wave of Italians, Japanese, Spanish and Germans in the 30's. Now everything is mixed and that's good, there is no cultural barrier.
    I myself have a grandfather who came from Barcelona and my grandmother is from Milan, so my mother was born in Brazil and knew my father who has Lusitanian blood.
    Even though they're from another continent, that didn't stop me from celebrating San Vito or the Oktoberfest, so why can't an American use maracas when Mexico shares a border with the USA?

      If I may add, there are different kind of ponchos or sarapes. The one on this video can be found in the native culture of Michoacan, around the town of Janitzio. Once the kids start acquiring certain responsibilities and learning some cultural habits, dances and jobs, they give them their own poncho, with a unique design. That one will be with them until it's worn out or doesn't fit anymore, which is hard because they are made very big and very sturdy. It's one way to let the community know "this boy is ready to be a man and is to be taken seriously".

    The concept of cultural appropriation is technically racist in of itself. It enforces the idea that people can't adopt or appreciate certain parts of cultures from different groups because of an inherent "ownership" of said cultures from those same groups that others cannot possess because of their inherent differences. It creates unnecessary racial tension and barriers between groups and only serves to drive people apart rather than bring together.

    Mexicans are chill. Even with violent backstory and their country currently torn apart by cartels,they still have the optimism,respect.we should be like them. because some of my people are just ashamed of the fact they're russians,and try their best to assimilate into EU,USA,Japan,Korea,Canada.

      Yeah, the people who get offended if you ask someone who happens to not be white where they're from, will insist that someone who was born in Japan, lived their whole life in Japan and was shaped entirely by Japanese culture and society isn't ACTUALLY Japanese if they're white. So... they still wouldn't have considered him Mexican, even if he HAD been, lol. Two opposite sets of rules for whites and everyone else respectively.

      I grew up with the notion that if you wore it for the reason of appreciating a cultue even if it was a costume event. That said, i do think learning about the meaning and history of the outfit would truly show an appreciation and understanding of the culture albiet a brief one. Humans also learn new things visually and a person seeing themselves as that outfit is expressing curiosity about that culture. There are those who wear to it to enforce stereotypes and mock the culture and that is why the term was coined, but it's a stifling overreaction that blocks the idea that the culture can only be appricited from a distance, and it blocks the community itself by not allowing people to wear it as he illustrated in segment.

Kids just believe what they are taught and never care to understand anything deeper. It’s especially bad when the things they are taught are also completely wrong - like the existence and evils of cultural appropriation. Their quick response was the same as stating that pi is 3.14 - they believe it’s true with all their heart but don’t know much beyond that.
