Supplementary #BrandTechSocialMediaYahooBethGreenfield "Part of the problem is how people discuss such instances of appropriation -- being reactive, case by case, rather than looking at the systemic inequalities behind the issue, the researcher and many others say. '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

@DomenicYacker [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : 2 years after I gave up my regular column, i’m busier than ever guesting for holiday season! Here I’m talking about why I’m ditching #filters, how I’ve been trying to get a Coleen to join #Tinder, why #Woke is a joke & how much I’m going to miss #WinterWonderland ...

Presumably the #PleaBuyAPaper hashtag is a response to #CauseActivismEnvironmentalExtinctionRebellion blocking the printing facilities for a number of #CharacterisationRightWing tabloid and newspapers on Friday night (4 September 2020) as a knee-jerk reaction to the protest. #_Riled
