None Dare Call It “Appropriation”
By Mitch Berg
Nor would I care to try.
But this Fox9 piece from last week tells the story of a Minneapolis organization – “Melanin in Motion” – which is teaching urban kids “of color” to ski and snowboard.
Now, cringey name aside, I do applaud the group’s goal; skiing and other snow sports are among Western and Northern Europe’s greatest exports.
It’s just curious how the culture cops haven’t jumped out and called this “cultural appropriation”.
Weird.
