The worst aspect is that it's a moving goalpost. This "I'm not a costume" bullshit is basically a new thing. I get blackface, but the rest of these folks really don't have much of an historically valid argument. At some point, it's just people being offended or feigning it in order to control the behavior of others.
What's next? Is someone going to accuse me of cultural appropriation and being offensive when I play in the Nutcracker this December? Should I think a Russian saying that's offensive has a strong argument and should be respected?
