What on Earth is the matter with this country? Seriously, what is wrong with Canada?

For crying out loud, anybody can write or draw or paint about anything they want. If a Chinese Canadian wants to write a short story about a Jewish family facing bigotry in 1920s Montreal, go for it. If an Inuit poet wants to write a sonnet about WASP bankers on Bay Street, go for it. If an Irish Canadian wants to carve totem pole figures out of pine logs, go for it.

I have zero patience for any of this "cultural appropriation" nonsense, and I put the phrase in quotation marks to emphasize that it is nonsense. Sorry, folks, but the rights of OTHERS to free speech ought not be trumped by YOUR capacity to whine.

And that's all it is, the phrase "cultural appropriation", it is a whining term that ought properly be rendered POWERLESS.
