The Appropriation of Fat Culture

quote [ "We are thankful to the student who courageously brought this to our attention." ]

It's time for students to check their non-sumo privilege.

sumo has religious traditions incorporated in it, but it's also a sport. I'd actually argue it's borderline racist to say that it's "appropriating Japanese culture". It would be like demanding anyone doing yoga immediately stop.

That said, who gives a fuck what whatever-this-group-is said. They have their right to complain- and depending on the agreement between the students and the university they may be obligated to care. That said, I'm not.

Outrage junkies getting their fix in the latest round of a 'progressiver than thou' pissing contest.
