Thanks Dean!

7 Things You Might Not Realize Are Cultural Appropriation That Are

Sorry but don't agree with most of what was written in that article, especially the examples they use. It is quite obvious the person who wrote the article and yourself don't understand the real definition of cultural appropriation. There is absolutely no exploitation done in those photos it looks more a tribute to the beauty of the Geisha. Which should offend no one.
Cultural appropriation is the new thing to be offended by. The true definition has been bastardized.
Since the beginning of time people have borrowed styles, clothing, music, etc from other cultures. It happens when cultures mix. A lot of the music, fashion and food we have come to love over the 100's of years wouldn't have happened without this "borrowing".
The Japanese themselves since the 50's was "appropriating" western cowboy culture. Should Americans be offended by this?
But these days people not black can't even style their hair in corn rows or dreadlocks because its considered "black culture" and cultural appropriation, even though dreadlocks were not only done by black people but in middle eastern and Scandinavian countries as well.

I don't want to mess up this guys thread with a argument over this but if you want to start a new thread to talk about it I would join in. Cultural appropriation and political correctness have just gone too far these days.

The second shot is my favorite. Very compelling.

Why is it that there is someone in every thread hunting for a reason to be offended or tell someone that they are breaking some sort of made up moral code? If you feel the need to be a social justice warrior, just send the person that offended you a private message.

After readin Derrel's comment went to flickr to see more of them. Nice set. I do like the original over the slective colored one better.

Only nit picky one I have is where she is by the wall with the english writing on it. It just doesn't mix for me. I think that seen with her further from the wall and it oof would have been much better. Similar to the selective focus one. It's not one you posted. But thought I'd comment anyway.

Thanks Ben. Appreciate the affirmation!

Yeah I know what you mean about the background being a little off from the concept. I'll take note!
