Cultural appropriation lunacy proceeds apace

20-year-old young woman accused of cultural appropriation for her Irish dancing.

At some point in May she started posting videos of herself dancing in traditional Irish style to non-Irish music by artists like Beyonce and Michael Jackson. Those videos got a big response from people around the world, some were viewed over a million times. Most of the reactions were positive but because Bullock is black a subset of scolds also began saying what she was doing was cultural appropriation of Irish dancing.

There’s a happy ending to this nonsense, fortunately, with an invitation from the director of Riverdance to join their tour when it resumes after COVID, and even the Irish Embassy in the US chimed in with its support.

Still, Mickster, you should be ashamed of yourself.
