Cultural Appropriation and
Actress Donkeys
If you think of it as an ancestor, or a descendant, the domestic donkey (Equus africanus asinus) is one of the hoofed mammals that belong to the family of Equidae. Originating from Africa, the domestic donkey is derived from the African wild ass. Depending on the species,
British-Amateur the domestic donkey may be classified as a subspecies within the wild ass or
Swiss as a distinct species.
Arse vs. ass
"Arse" is a British expression for a "stupid person" However, it can also be a synonym for "ass". There's a bit of confusion, as both are derived from horses as a group of animals. 'Ass' is also the correct term for a donkey in the USA.
The word arse was originally an innocuous name for the body part however, it has since become a vulgar term. In the 19th century, the word 'ass' developed as a variant of arse. It was originally a term used to describe horses or
deep-throat other animals However,
Squirters by the 1860s, it evolved into the term used to describe a posterior. It's also used in the phrase "to snort about". "To make an ass of oneself" also makes use of the word "ass", which is related to "to arse around". However, there are many threads of meaning from arse that are not present in the word 'ass'.
Appropriateness in popular culture
Oftentimes, we see cases in which a dominant culture adopts elements from the culture of a minority group. This practice, known as cultural appropriation can result in feelings of disdain in minority groups. For example, whether you wear an Native American headdress at a music festival or wearing blackface for Halloween, a lot of Black people feel that it is an act of patronizing.
A dominant group may also take elements from minority cultures. However,
Hospital they could also utilize intellectual property of the minority group. This can be done by blackfishing for instance. It is crucial to remember that people of colored skin have a history of being excluded and marginalized. Think about, for
British-Amateur instance the history of black people being marginalized when you see someone wearing costumes in blackface for Halloween.
