So while gay marriage becomes closer, yet more proof that uni students may have a good education but zero common sense.

Quote:
UK's National Union of Students has passed a policy to stop gay men appropriating black female culture.

Delegates at the Women's Conference today, many of them self-identified feminists, have passed plenty of motions.


- See more at: http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/uk-students-union-passes-policy-stop-white-gay-men-acting-black-women250315#sthash.ebFJ8sEl.dpuf

White gays are not allowed to behave like stereotypical southern African American Females,
"Jazz hands" should be used instead of clapping,
Cross dressing is forbidden unless the person is actually transgender.

I'm happy for these precious petals, passing so many resolutions that they can't actually enforce.

Not really relevant to the thread, but, yeah, total idiots.

If you want a real look into the heart of darkness, check out this article on the latest Australian National Union of Students National Conference from my university's student magazine:

These are our future leaders, apparently.

'Cultural appropriation' is so $£$%^%%$ stupid. Either you want multiculturalism, which implies melding and 'assimilating' aspects of each culture or you $£$%^%%$ don't, which is it?

It's like the whole 'race doesn't exist but here's some special something for races X, Y but not Z... but race doesn't exist'.

The left is $£$%^%%$ schizophrenic.

At least on the Labor side of politics. Student politics is how many of them get their start (and more than a few Liberals, too).

No disagreement there.

Into what? If you want to create a new one where we can laugh and cry at the collective self entitled twats that are student union representatives, go for your life.

There'd be less that 5 people on this board who have practical experience of student unions this millenium so it should be a retro blast.

Been a while...

College bans Yoga due to 'Cultural Appropriation'. These are the people who'll be running the show one day.

Haha, that's a classic. Thanks Wokko. I liked this response from a yoga practitioner.

http://www.ottawasun.com/2015/11/23/is-yoga-cultural-appropriation-well-maybe

Quote:
"It is true that some Indians, both in and outside of India, do consider modern-day yoga practice, especially in the West, as a cultural appropriation," wrote Ram Vakkalanka from Thailand, where he is currently on a teaching tour of Asia.

"They think Asana (yoga postures) is being taken out of context by the West, separated from its spiritual roots and being used only to look good in tight stretchy pants!"

However, Vakkalanka said the ancients who first conceived the craft "did not intend yoga to be only for Indians.

"Everything that is useful and beneficial, no matter invented by whom or where, belongs to the entire humankind."

...

"Indians getting possessive of yoga and Westerners 'de-Indianizing' yoga -- both of these are (examples of) ignorance driven by ego," he said.

"Yoga is about union, coming together, practising and growing together. Yoga is about uniting, and anybody who uses yoga to divide is ignorant and needs to be stopped."


Cultural appropriation police are the worst.

Someone posted on Facebook the other day that yoga, or maybe yogis?, was dangerous!

Nuts.

I find it too boring, I prefer Pilates, and seriously, they should teach it in schools. It's awesome stress release, and so good as you get older for lengthening those failing muscles.

it would be interesting to be able to track some of these self absorbed imbeciles and see what happens to them once/if they ever actually leave the uni.

Paying back HECs debt won't be high on the agenda. Most will try for a PHD in some self indulgent topic with no relevance or interest and then come out complaining about lack of public funding for same sex IVF, public housing (in inner city areas) for same sex couples and a myriad of other issues. And then try for jobs in the education industry because they are not up to anything else.
