Funny thing (or not funny at all) is that there's not a single trace
of ancient egyptian culture that survived on modern egypt. And also
everything we know about them comes from the greeks and from
archaeology. But what do reality means for SJWs? They have an agenda
and they push it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">A thought occurred to me as I heard of a U
of Michigan frat having to cancel its party with the theme
“Make Ancient Egypt Great Again.” Students were encouraged to
come in costumes, such as Cleopatra, mummies, King Tut, do
that sideways walk thing, etc. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The campus (actual) Egyptians were offended
at the cultural appropriation. Party canceled, hapless
fraternity bros remained painfully sober. (How shall they
cope?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This notion that cultures can never be
appropriated can only spread. This leads to an
easily-foreseeable future trend such that frat parties will be
compelled to cut the Greek cultural appropriation (can you
imagine?) as well as all the others including a frat party
classic: the Irish theme, featuring… well, I forgot what Irish
frat parties do.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further thought: there is a culture (of
sorts) for which no one will object should it be ridiculed and
parodied: cave man. I hereby take up the cause of being
distressed and offended should frats or anyone else choose to
have fun parodying Neanderthal culture. Who here will stand
with me, defending the downtrodden prehistoric humans?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hear that Universities? No cave-person
parties, none!<o:p></o:p></p>
