WALSH: Cultural Appropriation Is A Ridiculous Myth Used To Divide And Control People

British pop star Adele is the latest celebrity to get into trouble for the imaginary sin of “cultural appropriation.” The singer stirred up controversy this week when she posted a picture of herself sporting Bantu knots, which is a traditional African hairstyle featuring multiple buns or knots. Adele has, presumably, worn many hairstyles over the years. All of those styles have origins somewhere, and it’s doubtful that any of them originate in modern Britain. Is she supposed to check an encyclopedia every time she wants to put her hair up to ensure that she does not fashion it in a way that bears similarity to hairstyles worn by non-white people? Apparently so. Racial justice demands it.

So, as cities burn and our country deals with multiple major crises at once, our friends on the Left still had time to worry about the way a woman across the ocean fashioned her hair. Ernest Owens, a self-described “award winning journalist” and rich guy on the Forbes list, spoke out valiantly on the issue. “If 2020 couldn’t get anymore bizarre, Adele is giving us Bantu knots and cultural appropriation that nobody asked for,” he tweeted. “This officially marks all of the top white women in pop as problematic.”
