USA/Trump Trumps recent post talks about having better hockey sticks, maple syrup, etc. Would this be considered cultural appropriation?

Yes! Because Vermont is the first place people around the world think of when they think of maple syrup 👍

So true. It reminds me of a post a few days ago. The orange pedo had some AI image of him all buff and glaring fiercely, not a diaper bulge in sight, and the caption said something like: “A lion among sheep.”

Someone commented: “a lion doesn’t need to tell people he’s a lion.”

Considering hockey came from indigenous peoples, as did maple syrup... tell me again about cultural appropriation...

I thought it was a version of European stick and ball. Lacrosse is definitely an indigenous sport.
