#i will reblog bail organa every time he comes across my dash#EVERY#TIME#you understand#in revenge of the sith#he is the only one who tries to help#he is the only one who sees the temple burning and tries to help#not even padme goes#padme’s life is in such a shambles by that point that she can’t do anything but stare#but bail organa#who isn’t even as CLOSE to the jedi as padme is#who doesn’t really have a personal stake in it like padme does#he goes#the temple is burning but nobody comes for the jedi’s children#except bail organa#who has to be forced away at gunpoint from this spectacle#who sees a ten year-old jedi child gunned down on the steps of the jedi’s own home#bail organa tries#he’s the only one who tries to do anything#and that’s why i love him#star wars (via panharmonium

Cultural appropriation is a form of colonialism where cultural elements are copied from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture and used outside of their original context. The original meaning is lost or distorted, and such displays are viewed as disrespectful, or even desecration, by the originating culture.

Cultural appropriation differs from equal cultural exchange due to an imbalance of power from oppression. The imitator can temporarily “play” an “other” without experiencing the daily discrimination faced by that people. Traditions, symbols, and art with deep meaning may be reduced to “exotic” fashion or toys.
