Cultural Appropriation and Donkeys

The domestic donkey (Equus Africanus asinus) is a hoof-mammal in the family of Equidae. Originating from Africa the domestic donkey comes from the African wild ass. Depending on the species the domestic donkey can be classified as a subspecies within the wild ass or a separate species.

Appropriateness in popular culture

In many cases, we witness instances where a dominant cultural group adopts elements from the culture of a minority group. This practice, which is known as cultural appropriation, can cause feelings of disrespect among minority group members.

In addition to incorporating elements of minority cultures A dominant group may also take advantage of intellectual property from the minority group. This can be done through blackfishing, 4K as an example. It is important to remember that people of color have a long history of being marginalized and Hairy denied rights. For example, when you see a person of color dressed in blackface for Halloween You should think about the history of black people being marginalized.
