I also think that these articles show the fight of different groups to create a culture through language and to keep a culture to themselves. Language impacts the way we are portrayed and is sometimes a certain choice that is made with a lifestyle. I chose these articles because to me it explores how language and rhetoric is truly a cultural thing. The first article is Dear White Gays: Stop Stealing Black Female Culture by Sierra Mannie and a response article called You can’t ‘Steal’ a Culture: In defense of Cultural Appropriation by John McWhorter.
