You have a point there. And yes of course, people are free to be as educated, or as ignorant. - but being ignorant just brings up this whole debate over nothing. And when the debate starts, people tend to take sides and use race an excuse to argue about things. It wouldn't even be part of a controversy if people weren't ignorant, but that's just how people are.
Also, maybe to back your argument, the fact that cultural trends that have been there for decades get rebranded only to make it more appealable to the mass isn't quite right. Why not leave it as it is? People whichever race can still use these kinds of "trends" without giving washing it out from its origin. @hippie-with-a-gun states my commentary. It's all about acknowledging the other half and respecting them as equals instead of dividing them.
Thank you for replying.
