Cultural Appropriation

Is it okay to wear bindis? Or how about Indian headdresses? I think there is a final line between demoralising someone's culture and respecting it. 

In my opinion (yes, I went there), people that wear a bindi, an indian headdress or anything else like that aren't trying to offend anyone. I would agree that there is a time and a place to wear these things but, is it really such a big deal to wear them to a festival or a fancy dress party? I'd say no. I've found that anyone who has ever worn anything like that has worn it because the appreciate the culture so much and want to know more about it or visit the country it originates from, not people they're wanting to make fun of the culture. 

If I'm honest, the only people I've ever seen complain about this issue are people who have no right to complain on the matter and, by that, I mean people who wouldn't wear such items in day to day life. They claim it to be "disrespectful", but do they really have any right to comment on the matter? I have friends who wear bindis or have the option to wear one who honestly do not mind if other people wear them, as long as they're being respectful and not demoralising the culture.

Asian Bad Drivers

I don't wanna be discriminating, but Asian really don't know drive. The thing that kills me is that, especially here in California, even though they are bad drivers, they have just super and fast cars. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy???

Mammy Stereotype

The Mammy stereotype was the main way white Americans looked at black women from the early 1800s to the 1950s.
The Mammy pictured female household slaves as: fat, middle-aged, dark-skinned, underiderable (at least to white people), happy to serve whites, always smiling, white teeth.
Even after the slaves were freed the Mammy stereotype continued to put a happy face on black women’s lowly position in society, helping to set at ease the hearts of good white people everywhere.

Actually, I'm italian, and my dad and I use to call my mother Mammy. She's little fatty, she never had a job to take care about four of us daugthers and the house. In addiction, she loves cooking. That's why we call her mammy, and i like it. =)

Outing

Sadly, gay discrimination can be still found in workplace. The choice of the picture above isn't just based on a Boss that is firing an his dependent, but of a Unhuman Boss that is discriminating and firing a his dependent in front of his colleagues. Outing is pretty rude, and though. If he was a dumbass and deserved to be fired, ok, but because he's gay not. It's his private life and his own business. 

Gay Discrimination

Honestly I totally agree...
I think everyone has to respect others people private lives, either we like or not...
What would you do if your child will be gay? will you discriminate you own blood?

Gender Inequality in vote

        WOMEN STILL CAN'T VOTE, SOMEWHERE. 

 

As of early 2012, women are not allowed to vote at all in Saudi Arabia and Vatican City, and both women and men have a limited vote in Brunei and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Though all other countries allow women to vote in some elections, some countries have a traditionally low turnout of women voters because of social conventions. The most recent country to allow women the full right to vote was Bhutan, which changed from a family voting system to an individual voting system in 2008.

Even countries where women are allowed to vote may not have a very high percentage of women who actually turn out. This sometimes happens because of social or cultural traditions; for instance, women in a very traditionally patriarchal society may feel uncomfortable voting. Education is an issue in other areas, where women often don't vote because they don't know or understand their voting rights.

We are in 2016, isn't it the time to make some definitely change about gender inequality?

Gender Inequality Online

Women Harassment on Twitter 

As the use of social media has become an intrinsic part of our everyday lives, so also, has the visual presence of abuse. As a result, the violent and persistent harassment of prominent women online has been covered substantially in the media. This harassment is neither recognized as sexual harassment nor as a societal problem, as it is often viewed as an unfortunate side effect of the anonymity offered by the internet. This harassment should be seen as an example of gender inequality as it discredits and silences women’s voices online and halts the process towards equality by creating a hostile and misogynistic environment, which renders the online sphere, solely available to men.                                                To find out in what ways sexual harassment online could be seen as evidence for gender inequality, the study used critical discourse analysis on fifteen Twitter tweets judged to be sexual harassment. By looking for representations of self/other and the use of governmentality, studies found that the tweets conjured up a discourse of patriarchy which adhered to stereotypical gender definitions, only leaving one subject position for females – that of a sexual object.

Gender Bias Between Blacks and Whites in Music

As shown above in the graphic, in the years the Music World has faced gender bias between blacks and whites. In today's society, being omnivorous is a form of cultural capital. Cultural exclusivity is no longer valued as it may have been in the past and is more often a sign of ignorance rather than status. People in the years have been discriminating black voices, and i have a question, Does anyone and everyone who call themselves white have the right? Does it matter? I say that it most definitely does. Your answer depends on where you stand in the debate. And I also say that is curious that whenever white mainstream culture develops an affinity for a particular type of Black music, this music suddenly becomes 'universal'. Now, Black people and white people who value genuine Black expression are all told that the 'race' of the performer doesn't matter. 
Playing music is a good thing. The real problem is the claim that culture and history don't matter. That the sounds of 400 years of tragedy and triumph make no difference in the music. White wants to discriminate Black, but can white people play and sing the Blues? We can't deny that not everyone gets the blues in the same way as Black folk. Despite this, i never heard about a black discriminating a a bad white Blues voice. 

Gender Biases in Advertisement

        Sexist Concept of Women




The range of female images in advertising has no doubt expanded. This does not mean, however, that anything much has changed in the underlying pattern of role expectations and ascriptions.
Women are commonly portrayed in one of the two following ways: either in their traditional role as a mother (as natural, caring, helpful and supportive) or as the exact opposite, the object of desire, the “feminine” being a symbol of eroticism and female accomplice to man’s heterosexuality. Both of the above images of women in advertising are linked to beauty, youthfulness and fragility and serve as decorations for various products. 

Here's following a baby girl's rant about gender roles and toy marketing. She needed just 3 years of her life to understand that the world doesn't need gender roles, and anyone, male and female, are free to express their feelings in which color or figure they feel comfortable into. So my question is "Why the big corporations keep insisting on giving to male and female different rights and roles?
