As Twitchy reported earlier, hard-hitting news source CNN picked up on an op-ed in Time magazine entitled, “Dear White Gays: Stop Stealing Black Female Culture.”
Actor Dax Shepard, who graduated magna cum laude from UCLA with a degree in anthropology, decided to add his two cents to the debate.
This notion of "stealing" or "appropriating" culture is crap. There is one big salad bar of American culture, and every can build a plate.

Sincere question to "appropriation" defenders, is dressing in green on St Patricks Day stealing and appropriating Irish culture?

It's encouraging to see that the far left likes calling people "idiot" as much as the right. Could this be the great unifier? #peaceatlast
