Thanks for the moment of cultural appropriation.

Species appropriation?

The idea of twerking as a joke is rooted in anti-black misogyny

Okay no. It's a bird. So that aspect doesn't even come into. This isn't cultural appropriation. This isn't species appropriation and this isn't anti blackness. Even suggesting that shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what they are.

joking about black culture if you aren't black is anti-blackness

Twerking isn't part of my culture and I'm sick of people, namely white, acting like it is. Even suggesting this is anti blackness is an insult.

Yeah but I think the funny bit here is that it's a cute brd bobbing to TWRK.

Not someone going "lol twerking how ridiculous"

Brd. TWRK. Lol?

but in the current cultural context where twerking in general is seen as a joke to white people, it's kind of tasteless. unless someone is black they really shouldn't be making fun of it.

What's missing from this, though, is the white people and the making fun.

It's a bird video that synchronizes to a rap song.

You'e right, I shouldn't have been so flippantly tongue-in-cheek. Wasn't trying to imply that cultural appropriation isn't a real thing or anything, so sorry if that's the way I came across.
