  • Weekly Radio: You Are Now on Treaty Land
    By now, we are used to attending public events that begin with an

  • Cultural Diffusion and Cultural Appropriation
    Among the silliest of current left-wing demands is that white people cease “cultural appropriation”, that is, the borrowing of styles, foods, dress, or art of other cultures. A Latina student in California insisted that hoop earrings were an invention of her people and should not be worn by those with paler skin.
