Ladies, gentlement and genderless intersectional beings. Here is another great moment in social justice.
What do you get when you combine leftist crybullies with Cinco de Mayo, drinking and ponchos? You get self-righteous cretins out to "educate" Mike on his racist poncho-wearing ways. Like most intersectionalists, they can't explain what cultural appropriation is or what's wrong with wearing a poncho. But what they lack in reason, they more than make up for with anger and amusement value.
"Are they the only people who were ponchos?"
"You're perpetuating the stereotype that Mexicans wear ponchos and drink for a living."
That's one of those Rorschach racist accusations that says far more about the accuser than the accused.
"Your president claims that Mexicans only come here to drink and steal your jobs. By wearing this (poncho), you're perpetuating the stereotype."
"I wore this last year before Trump was president."
Also, if you only wear a poncho on Cinco de Mayo, you're appropriating the culture not appreciating it. But if you wear it every day, you're appreciating it?
"Celebrating includes drinking and dressing up like a different kind of person?"
"Yes."
"No!"
"Why couldn't you dress up like Mike?""Mike wears whatever he wants."
That's a battle cry of freedom for the new age of P.C. Mike wears whatever he wants.
The video apparently comes from Danique Montique at the University of New Hampshire.
Dear UNH,
For an institution that claims it encourages diversity, where were you yesterday when we needed you the most? Why do you encourage us to come here? Yet were forced to defend our existence every day on this campus.
I was utterly disgusted with students who chose to demean and appropriate Mexican culture. I walked on campus miserable as if I didn't belong. As a black woman, I was forced to become the very thing society deemed me to be; angry.
Danique was "forced" to be angry. She didn't choose to angrily berate random students on behalf of cultural appropriation from a culture she isn't even part of. And those ponchos made her feel as if she didn't belong. And made her feel she had to "defend her existence" from the ponchos.
