Au contraire, it <i>is</i> 'cultural appropriation' to learn a
foreign language. How could it not be? I'd suggest that the people
who harp on about this new sin, stop wearing trousers immediately,
and apologise for their trouser-wearing in the most abject fashion,
but, well, why feed the trolls? The whole concept is ludicrous.<br>
