allforyou Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 Cher: Gwen: So who do you choose? I personally pick Gwen
Lament Posted August 13, 2022 Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I love them both but Gwen. I fail to see any cultural appropriation in the Cher pics: she has Cherokee roots and the Ancient Egypt pic is a reach and is kind of ignorant. I'm part Egyptian and people don't dress like that at all anymore, even for traditional ceremonies. It's an ancient civilization. No one claims Ra as their god. Edited August 13, 2022 by Lament

It was when she was with Tony Kanal, and wantng to learn more about his culture. Plus it isn't exploitative, disrespectful or stereotypical.

She doesn’t actually have any Cherokee roots, she just claimed she was 1/16 Cherokee when Half Breed came out then said that was false years later
