"The cultural appropriation debate is over."

This is an utterly embarrassing statement, and laughably ironic to see coming from the Globe and Mail, which has done its best to present only one side of this debate, over and over (with the exception of one eloquent image by your political cartoonist).

None of the arguments decrying "cultural appropriation" have even approached logical validity: educated critical thinkers, philosophers, constitutional lawyers, high school debate club geeks, all must look at all the blatantly incoherent rhetoric pumped out by your paper and literally cringe.

Some suggest that we liberal-thinking Canadians who value everyone's rights to free expression should just simply back away from these cultural apartheid promoters, ignore their ranting as we would the grumbling of the Westboro Baptist Church, or ISIS, or other such terrifyingly ignorant but motivated groups of censorious cultural conservatives.
