Adding one more thought:
Some of the confusion around “cultural appropriation” clears up I think when people remember what happened with the success of peformers of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis for repackaging the music of poor African Americans for a white audience. Anthony Bourdain and Jaime Oliver are Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. The are repacking the food of the world’s loser in globalisation and imperialism as a fun thing to do on a Saturday night. Nobody would honor these foods if the people who actually made them and ate them every day were given televison shows to talk about them. They don’t look like the kind of people we find glamorous and autoritative and masculine.
So a whole lot a shakin’ goin’ on to rethink the sheer immaturity of all this would be helpful I think.
