Cultural Appropriation and
Titjon Donkeys
No matter whether you see it as an ancestor
Party or
Massage as a descendant,
Titjon the domestic donkey (Equus africanus asinus) is one of the hoofed mammals of the family Equidae. Originating from Africa,
cunt the domestic donkey is derived from African wild ass. Depending on the species that the domestic donkey is a part of, it could be classified as a subspecies belonging to the wild ass or a distinct species.
Arse vs. ass
"Arse" is an British Slang term for a'stupid person',
Teen-Ass but is it an abbreviation for 'ass'? This is where there is confusion,
Titjon since both are based upon horses as a species of animal. In the USA, the correct term for donkeys is "Ass".
The word"arse" was initially used as an innocuous name for the body part, but has since become an unpopular term. In the 19th century, the word 'ass was developed as a variant of arse. It originally meant a group of horselike animals but by the 1860s it was transformed into an expression of an afterword. It is also used in the expression "to go around'. "To make an ass of oneself" also makes use of the word "ass" which is closely related to "to arse around". There are many meanings to arse that aren't found in 'ass.
Appropriateness in popular Culture
We frequently see instances in which a dominant culture adopts elements of a minority's culture. This practice, which is known as cultural appropriation can cause feelings of disrespect from members of minority groups. Many Black people consider this patronizing behaviour, whether wearing an Native American headdress to a music festival or wearing blackface on Halloween.
In addition to incorporating elements of minorities' cultures the dominant group may also benefit from intellectual property of the minority group. Blackfishing is an example. It is important to remember that people of color have a history of being marginalized and disenfranchised. Think about, for instance, the history of the marginalization of black people when you see someone in a blackface Halloween costume.
