If a black dude PERMED HIS HAIR, ADOPTED A JAPANESE NAME AND STARTED SPEAKING IN A JAPENESE ACCENT ONE DAY when he lived in The Bronx, NYC then yes that is cultural appropriation and being a culture vulture...I don't know if they'd be a c00n yet but it clearly doesn't show the best pride in black culture.

The black dude who is the only black dude in Germany or the black dude in 1933 adopting white mannerisms did that for survival. That is assimilation.

Assimilation is when you HAVE to adopt a culture to fend in a society..this is not the case here You do not need a mexican identity to survive in Compton LA :/

Hell, if he adopted a white persona, your argument could have been more valid since they are the dominating race in the USA.

A black man who wakes up one day and feels he should be 'mexican' and proceeds to don outfits and fake accents is a culture vulture

He did this for women. He said it his damn self. Stop making up reasons for him when he already told his own story.

Dapped.

No point in even debating with them, they are making excuses that the man himself didn't even make.

This is cultural appropriation, period.

Once again your argument is flawed. Mexican Culture has nothing to do with race as mexican is not a race. The argument can be made dude is a lame, but Mexican is not a race so dressing in their clothing and having the accent has nothing to do with being black as there are black natives of mexico. Not shure what it is you dont understand about this.

This is not a surprise. Compton mine as well be annexed to Mexico at this point. Compton is damn near 70% Mexican. For some reason, everyone from outside of Cali thinks Compton is still like how it was in 1988. :snoop: And let's face it, So Cal nikkas are basically Mexican nikkas. dikkies, Cortez, Chucks, lowriders, gang banging is all Chicano culture.:sas1: All of the big celebrity L.A. dudes (K Dot, YG, Game) basically look and dress like black cholos. :upsetfavre:Where I'm from in the Bay, brothers don't do none of that shyt. Mexican culture is dominant in L.A., period. L.A. mine as well be in Mexico for God's sake. :pachaha:Bruh just took it a step further by becoming a blaxican mariachi singer. :mjlol:

There are black natives of mexico... he is not one of them.

If a white person came up to me saying that their heart was in Nigeria and they were trying to do everything to become a Nigerian, I would say that they were appropriating my culture. Nigerian is not a race, but we do have several distinct cultures. They weren't born here, they have no roots here, they just saw something they liked and wanted to become it.

I'm not going to lose sleep over this, but its still cultural appropriation, no matter how you look at it.

why do you keep bringing up black messicans like there's a significant population of them . yes they had influence on Messican culture but Messico destroyed their communities and erased them from history and their culture is now predominately a fusion of indigenous American and European culture. the logic of "well there's black people" isn't sound because you could use that for everything since black people live damn near everyhwere now

There are so white brazillians but if an english man tried to get in touch with his 'true' brazillian heritage i see people lambasting him.

His 'dream' of being a 'mexican in his spirit ?!'

You're really comparing a man who woke up in the 2000's and wanted to live his destiny of being a mexican man and bagging mexican chicks to a black man who lived at a time where blacks had to assimilate to avoid harrassment

He lived in Compton in the USA in the 2000's he did not do this for survival. It was because he felt it in his spirit to be mexican.

He was never going anyone happy w/ his path in life if he just stayed in California not singing mexican music. He found a path to do it, yes, he did it for his survival as an artist to express himself the way he wanted to express himself. That means he wanted to be adored by Mexican audience that just so happened to be women. Where is the harm in this that he wants to live life like this? He's marketing himself and catering to what he loves..

This world is exploiting, he exploited it back because he saw his value as an entertainer. Now if they make him dance w/ watermelon and eat chicken on stage, that obviously should be shut down. But for now, he's singing Mexican traditional music and getting love for it. It could be worse, he could be in Afghanistan singing on the frontlines hoping he doesn't get shot by the enemy. Yea, I think he made the right choice if he's happy.
