Trashy but Classy: Appropriating Miley Cyrus
On the one hand, calling Miley trashy because of twerking, and leaving twerking to blacks, is not a critique of cultural appropriation. It only sends out the message that twerking does not suit white people. It is an element of a lesser culture and should remain within those subordinate peoples, where its practice actually makes them look good. (Image from billboard.com)
