Cultural Triggering

It is not wrong to be white and to have dreadlocks Though, you may look like a pleb but you offend me not Nor would it offend a black rastafarian man of a temperate manner I don't know any women with white skin and straight hair that get offended by afro-caribbean women wearing a straight weave You're all just too soft now, you're all just pet peaves Stop getting offended on behalf of other people that don't even take offence Excuse me, whilst I build a fence around myself hombre Not to keep me here but to keep you at bay Cultural appropriation doesn't exist Cultural misappropriation doesn't exist You're all just champagne socialists You should get over it Yes, you mate The one that thinks he's above everyone and must decide what is politically correct and whose life matters In the end all this is is a series of cultural exchanges and we're all wading through shit Face it.
