But I worry sometimes the appropriation accusations go too far from a practical perspective. Like how Jeremy Lin was made to feel bad.

I feel like from a particular perspective sometimes the accusations serve to divide us. But sometimes it feels like they’re warranted too.

Sounds like the slow boat to nowhere on racial justice, though you might get some "racial harmony," but only of the "negative peace" kind.
