This is why the whole fucking ecosystem pisses me off.

GROUP A: "Hey let's do something awesome and multicultural!"

PERSON B: "You are offending my culture."

GROUP A: "But we don't mean offense!"

PERSON B: "But you are being offensive."

GREEK CHORUS: "because he is offended they are offensive"

And you know what? It's one thing if I don't know you and you don't know me and it should be pretty f'n obvious that Black Pete is not going to be charming to anyone African American.

But you know what you never.fucking.see?

GROUP A: "We are being multicultural!"

MEMBER OF GROUP A: "You are being offensive. Stop it."

REST OF GROUP A: "We do not mean to be offensive!"

MEMBER OF GROUP A: "Seeing as I have more of a stake in this culture than you, and a strong affinity for you all, the following ways are options to celebrate my culture without being offensive."

ALL OF GROUP A: "We are multicultural and inoffensive!"

Know why it doesn't happen?

Because fuck multiculturalism.

If you are a minority, and there's something that's yours, fuck everybody that isn't a minority that uses it. If you are a minority, and there's something that's yours, nobody else better so much as talk about it. Haft shin, not haft sin.

So here's the real undercurrent:

GROUP A: "Hey let's do something awesome and multicultural!"

EVERYONE THAT ISN'T IN GROUP A: "Fuck you, that's my culture, don't so much as fucking talk about it, eat shit."

GROUP A: "Why are you so bent out of shape that we're trying to understand your culture?"

EVERYONE THAT ISN'T IN GROUP A: "Because everything in the world belongs to you, this is the only thing in the world that belongs to me."

GROUP A: "Never fucking mind then, your kids will forget your language, your stories and your customs and since you're lashing out at us for trying to be nice we won't even feel bad about it."

EVERYONE THAT ISN'T IN GROUP A: "And that's why we hate you."

GROUP A: "And that's why we invade, rather than colonize."

Yay melting pot.
