That is an extremely narrow view of the First Amendment that goes against over two centuries of judicial precedent. Only a Clarence Thomas-level originalist would make such an argument.
This is also not a requirement. I'm just going to stop talking to you. Virtually everything you have said so far has not been true and you won't even acknowledge any of it.
Wait, does this mean I might have to walk in the shoes of a MAGA Evangelical? Because I don't know that I can learn a lesson from being someone incapable of learning lessons.
I feel the same way about Roald Dahl. He was a virulent antisemite, meaning that he would have hated me, but I can't give up those books I grew up with.
But at least I'm not giving him money directly if I buy one of his books.
It's my understanding that black Latinos feel the same way that you do. People look at you like you're crazy when you call Sammy Davis, Jr. Latino despite that he always made sure everyone knew he was Puerto Rican. He used to regularly call himself “the only black, Puerto Rican, one-eyed, Jewish entertainer in the world.”
Edit: Apparently, Sammy was actually Afro-Cuban, but he called himself Puerto Rican because he was worried about anti-Cuban sentiment. TIL.
Or to make it more modern for the kids today- telling a lot of people that Zoe Saldana is Latina doesn't click with them because she's black. Even if you tell them her parents were from Cuba. Even though her last name is fucking Saldana.
I understand what they're trying to say, though. There is a lot of overuse of the term 'cultural appropriation,' but blackface was definitely a form of it, as was always casting white guys as Charlie Chan but making them speak in a fake 'Chinese guy who talks like white people think Confucious wrote' way. There was a shit ton of cultural appropriation in Hollywood and there really still is with some cultures. Mocking South and East Asians, especially Hindus and Buddhists, still seems to be okay in a lot of American media.
There doesn't seem to be an issue in America talking luridly about the Kama Sutra or reducing Buddhism into a bunch of bullshit aphorisms that Siddhartha Gautama never said. And rather than diversify The Simpsons when they stopped having Hank Azaria voice Apu on the show (all the way back in the less enlightened era of 2019), they just retired Apu completely. Notice they did not do that to characters like Dr. Hibbert, who was revoiced with a black actor.
