A consequence seems to be that "They bark at you because you're noticeably queer. Me and my friends, who are all trans and emo, get barked at all the time for it. It's become a trend on tiktok because straight people think LGBTQ+ bark like dogs, or think they are dogs." [commentary]

"Florence Mills (1895 or 1896-1927) was a popular African-American revue artist of the 1920s. She is credited with being the first woman to be publicly called beautiful in the racist United States. After she died young in 1927 after a European tour, the Afro-American community in particular was shaken. As a result, Duke Ellington wrote 'Black Beauty' for her, immortalizing her musically.
The photo shows Florence Mills in an Indian costume. One could now assume that Woke leftists consider this behavior to be racist according to the ideology of cultural appropriation. This is not the case, however, because Florence Mills herself belonged to a discriminated minority. It's only cultural appropriation when 'whites' adorn themselves like that. It is about an inherited collective guilt of all whites, even if their respective ancestors had nothing to do with conditions in the United States.
Just so we realize how profoundly racist this ideology is..." #IRLArtistCabaretFlorenceMills #IdentityAmericanBlackAndAfrican #TauntLeftist #PhenomnWhiteGuilt

Addendum: first of all, are the Goignans German or not i.e. are they 'inside' or 'outside' the culture they're referencing? While there are clearly nuances to this, I think it would be safe to say that the meme's intention is to evoke a #PoliticsNationalismEthno position i.e. that being black disqualifies you from being German (that Germans are ethnically homogeneous). As per the above question, "Kingsley Junior Coman is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the France national team" and Sephora is Canadian i.e. neither are German - both are 'outside' the culture they're referencing in this image. This said, cultural appropriation tends to have an 'exploitative' dimension to it i.e. that those appropriating tend to be doing so to gain advantage (from those whose culture is being appropriated) - so, in the sense, any such appropriation would be deemed trivial (surely). #ToponymEuropeGermanyBavaria.n costume.

Stereotypes are also prevalent in the quest to sell a product, again by depicting simplistic cultural derivations, as well as explicitly derogatory and racist. Then as now such depictions of often marginalised people and the attitudes these depictions represent, are deplorable and unacceptable." https://collections.museumsvictoria.com.au/articles/13230 #OtheringStereotypeSocialIdentityImplicitBias / #PhenomnCulturalAppropriation

It's also intended to make people think about and question their surroundings. 'We like the idea that is it's called 'Fecal Matter,' even if we are labeling it as something disposable,' says Bhaskaran. 'The relationships that humans have with material possessions is something that we are trying to play with.'
The two had come up with the manifesto about two years ago during their last year in fashion school in Montreal. 'It's things that we don't like in the industry, like the child labor, the waste that goes on in the fabric industry, the dyes that are harmful for the environment,' says Bhaskaran. 'By talking about that, that is how we became friends. Through that, we decided to a platform of how to discuss uncensored ideas and promote critical thinking.' Another facet to the idea behind the platform? One has to really like the clothing in order to buy it. After all, 'Fecal Matter' doesn't exactly roll off the tongue when someone asks where you got that great jacket from. (For the record, the line does offer several great jackets.) 'You have to really like what you're buying into and you really have to love the design and the textile,' says Dalton. '[As] opposed to just buying it because it is Dior.'" https://www.vogue.com/vogueworld/article/fecal-matter-instagram-duo-to-follow #PhenomnEntrepreneurship #CauseActivismBrand #BrandMatieresFecalesHannahRoseDalton #BrandMatieresFecalesStevenRajBhaskaran https://matieresfecales.com/

"Black American folk singer-songwriter Huddie Ledbetter, a.k.a. Lead Belly, uses the phrase near the end of the recording of his 1938 song 'Scottsboro Boys', which tells the story of nine black teenagers accused of raping two white women, saying: 'I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there-best stay woke, keep their eyes open'. [14][15] Aja Romano writes in Vox that this represents 'Black Americans' need to be aware of racially motivated threats and the potential dangers of white America.'[16] J, Saunders Redding recorded a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940, stating: 'Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer.'[17]
By the mid-20th century, woke had come to mean 'well-informed' or 'aware', [18] especially in a political or cultural sense. [9] The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest such usage to a 1962 New York Times Magazine article titled 'If You're Woke You Dig It' [19] by African-American novelist William Melvin Kelley, describing the appropriation of African American slang by white beatniks. [9]

Context: #WebsiteSnopes "The word 'woke' is broadly used to describe a state of being 'aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues especially of racial and social injustice' according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. While it originated from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in the early part of the 20th century, the term has become a common part of American slang.
Its usage has evolved and grown so much that conservatives now use it as a pejorative to refer to progressives or left-leaning liberals." [fact-checked]

'I don't find there to be a sophisticated debate about cultural appropriation in the media,' British critic and writer Afua Hirsch told George Chesterton in a GQ UK in a September 2020 story prompted by Adele being photographed in a Jamaica-flag bikini and bantu knots. 'It's less the act and more the ignorance behind it that is the issue,' Chesterton wrote, further quoting Hirsch, who said, 'I'm often asked to come on TV whenever a pop star wears cornrows and defend the idea that I would like to police their hairstyle. There is little interest in the broader picture of imperial racism and white supremacy that forms the context. So it ends up being a reductive conversation about whether it's OK for white people to do something, which is not my business.'" https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/non-black-celebrities-olivia-rodrigo-blaccent-appropriation-135706807.html #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianAfuaHirsch #IRLScholarDeandreMilesHercules #MagazineGQUKGeorgeChesterton #IRLSingerAdeleAdkins + #SymbolEmblemFlagJamaica.bikini + #SymbolHairstyleBantuKnots
