A common comment I receive about cultural appropriation is, “Well, PoC in X country don’t find cultural appropriation offensive so why do PoC in the U.S.?” Here is my response:
Funny how people will say they can’t identify with a character because they’re black, yet they manage to identify with billionaires, super geniuses, spies, alien and super soldiers.
Chidera Eggerue, 23, used to resent her drooping breasts and dreamed of the day she could get a boob job. Now she is encouraging women to love their bosom buddies – no matter the size or sag.
“For the women who look like me: Your saggy boobs matter. And from now until you die, what’s going to matter, ultimately, is your character. Sometimes people are scared of what they haven’t been taught to accept. We still have to exist loudly, though.”
