Ongoing Cultural Appropriation Masterpost

thecuriousviolet:

This will be an ongoing list of informative and educational posts by
not only myself, but other members of the POC community. They are all
properly credited and when you click on the link, it will take you to
their post and their blog. Please support POC bloggers and give them a
follow!

Also, if you have made posts or know of really good
cultural appropriation posts (please send me actual links) that you would like for me to include in
this post (because my search skills can only extend so far haha), please
shoot me a message with a link! Since I make posts only on ndn issues
(since I am ndn), there might be a few more posts on that subject until I
can find more posts to even it out! Thank you for reading!

12/3/16: I fixed the broken links and removed the inactive ones! Added a Pasifika Cultures section!

12/13/16: Added on to all existing sections and made Central/South American cultures their own section.

12/22/16: Expanding the Roma, Asian and Pasifika sections a little.
