Wanna Join Us for Cultural Appreciation Day on May 12?
If a Chinese dress gets you worked into a tizzy, this probably isn’t your bag
Saturday, May 12 is the first official Cultural Appreciation Day here at Legal Insurrection.
If you’ve followed the news lately (and we assume that if you’re a regular reader, you do), you’ve been MADE aware that something as innocuous as a thrift store prom purchase triggers half the internet. The social justice warriors beam in from social justice utopia to be judgy, vile, and completely ignorant bullies over something they call “cultural appropriation.”
I’m so old, I remember when our elementary teachers taught us America was a great big ol’ melting pot made of people and cultures from the furthest reaches of the globe. Put together, the cultural cocktail made for something admirable and unique.
But anyway, on Saturday, May 12, we will celebrate our celebrations of other cultures. Look for pictures and stories from LI authors appreciating other cultures, a social justice sin these days.
Because we know the best way to enjoy and respect a culture is (in most cases) to partake of it.
And also this (I apologize in advance for the rap part):
We cordially invite you to join us.
“BUT HOW?! I’m not a blogger!!!!!”
I’m glad you asked!
To participate, please send the following:
- Pictures (of you and/or yours dressed in distinct cultural attire), videos, stories (short!), anything else you think might be relevant
- Name you wish to use for attribution (pseudonyms are just fine)
- Send to: newsletter -at – legalinsurrection.com
Entries are subject to editing for readability and length, but we won’t bastardize your handiwork. Pinky promise.
By submitting photos, stories and so on, you give us permission to use them.
It’s been a while since we devoted a day to something special (past days being Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day and Empty Chair Day) so now seems as good a time as ever to celebrate how we celebrate cultures. Plus, it was Leslie’s brilliant idea and we all loved it.
Remember —> Saturday, May 12.
Can’t wait to hear from you! Questions? Email me here.

Culturally appropriating liberalism. Feel free to post it.

I guess everyone knows that tomorrow is a Mexican holiday: Cinco de Mayo. Another ’empty’ Mexican holiday where the Pedro’s whipped the buns of the French.
As they say at Gonzaga University, it’s time to party and enjoy the cultural appropriation.
Mexicans have chosen to celebrate their own cultural appropriation of their Indian heritage by wearing T-shirts with a large red/yellow target on the front and back. This in sympathy of all the native American tribes the Spanish enslaved or murdered in cold blood. Those Conquistador’s were not following in the footsteps of St. Francis – rather they behaved like sailors in a whore house, grabbing everything they could grab. Rape and pillage…a good time had by one-and-all!
Thanks for reminding me. I’ll make sure I wear the T shirt with this on it.

Note the fact the Mexican squadron if flying USAAF Thunderbolts. Note the U.S. flag. Note the prominently displayed 5th UNITED STATES Army air force insignia.

” A Mexican Air Force P-47D surmounts a monument at the Santa Lucia Air Base near Mexico City in memory of the seven Aztec Eagles who lost their lives in the line of duty during the Second World War.”
It pisses all the right people off. In fact, I’m amazed I haven’t been killed. But if I’m going to celebrate Mexico, I’m going to celebrate the Mexicans that fought with us.
Hope I can find the t shirt. Haven’t worn it for a year. I don’t normally wear t shirts.
I’m not advocating anybody do what I do, or a product. But you can get the t shirt here:

How dare the Mexicans culturally appropriate* our P-47 Thunderbolts? Why, why, I may just start up a food truck business selling breakfast burritos.
*No doubt evil American capitalistic patriarchal imperialism was involved. But I’m still selling the breakfast burritos in reprisal.
P.S. I love dating liberal chicks. When I get tired of them I just have to yell out, “Look over there, it’s the patriarchy,” and then while they’re searching for the patriarchy I can run the other way.
Can anyone tell me where/who that picture is/from?
Looks just like someone I know but I figure this pic is way older.
Would really like to know.
It’s LI’s very own Leslie Eastman! Doesn’t she look amazing?
Is this a trap? If I agree she looks amazing will I be sued as racist mysogynst bigoted misgendering scumbag?
I’m going to need a release form written by by the ungendered post-racial individual who may or may not identify as a member of the human species but does teach law at Cornell aka William Jacobson before I can offer an opinion on “She looks amazing.”
Please deliver it to my multi/non/anti/post-sexual bathroom by next Friday. I’ll be holding diversity training sessions in there all week.
Hee! We’re strong women here at LI, and we can take a compliment. 😛
