Opinion of Iggy Azalea

[Filuwaúrdjan]

This is one of those irregular verbs things isn't it? My work is cosmopolitan and international, Your work is the product of cultural exchange, His work is disgraceful cultural appropriation.

The trouble with it is as a concept is that unless you are being really careful there's a risk that you start heading back into a previous and rather less enlightened era of cultural criticism; the idea that certain forms of culture are entirely the property of certain peoples (and may actually be innate to them on some level), that culture can be 'polluted' by outsiders and so on. It's not a very long journey from there to Das Judenthum in der Musik, and it should be noted that there are stations further down the line than that...
