Written language? Well, that's not really cultural appropriation, so screw the Sumerians. Yeah, just screw them. The Zero? Babylonians and Mayans (sorry, India, the dispute over whether you appropriated it from the Babylonians can't be resolved so - NO ZERO FOR YOU!) Powered Heavier than Air Flight? Well, there's some dispute over whether it was the Wright brothers or not, but it was definitely an American invention. Sorry world, no more trotting off to your latest outrage fest in anything other than Zeppelin's (if you're German) or Hot Air Balloons (if you're French).<br /><br />This gets really ridiculous, doesn't it?Stan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431525171296921684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-59663876405802457682017-05-17T19:10:14.514+12:002017-05-17T19:10:14.514+12:00The Outrage Industry is busy again.The Outrage Industry is busy again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32538379.post-77181846373342778242017-05-17T02:03:05.381+12:002017-05-17T02:03:05.381+12:00Waiting for all the Third Worlders and their sycop...Waiting for all the Third Worlders and their sycophants to repudiate everything they've "culturally appropriated" from the West.
