This has been in the news over the last couple of days.
I don't want to start a contentious thread. I really want to understand this. I think I might have unwittingly done this in the past and maybe still am.
Ive always worked in mukti-ethnic schools and mostly lived in multi-ethnic communities. If I saw something I liked I adopted it.
For instance learned how to use spices properly and my cooking definitely tends to Southern Asian rather than traditional British.
The music of Southern Africa appeals to me and it was played at my husbands funeral. He was white British like me.
When Im invited to Diwali celebrations I go in a sari. But now I'm wondering if I've been making a mistake.
I'm looking for guidance from someone who understands cultural appropriation more than I do.
As well as starving the NHS, Education has been starved by this government too.
