Hi Carmen, There are almost too many appropriations to keep track of anymore, yet everytime one is pointed out, it makes a difference. This is one I’ll mention to my kids…not line you have to be Asian to make Asian food, but you sure don’t have to be white to be an expert, either.
Musing on the McCain Campaign’s hiring of African American Obama supporters as temp workers is an exploitation of racial-cultural identity that I’d love your thoughts on, if you have the chance to come over to http://www.AuthenticOrganizations.com and check it out.
