They're white. They're Western. They just have conflicting loyalties.

I mean ask China or Japan if Russia are a bunch of white people. And "a bunch of white people" is exactly what the West is.

I fully do. I've literally said that it's from hip hop and white trash culture. Mine are much more white trash though. Not that it makes me look better. Well, at least not in your ironically superficial & prejudice hierarchy of culture which is more evidence of how phony your obnoxiously pious attitude is.

Either way, I'm not leaching off of or stealing the culture. I'm a guest in that culture and I have profound respect for it.

If you really want to talk about being a vulture we can discuss how the two people who openly exploited Chula's mental instability for their own amusement like to pretend to be compassionate and understanding of mental illness for the perception of it. That's you exploiting mental health for your own gain with no real respect for it. You didn't just do it to Chula, you did it to Kiiii as well. Then you actively trash the idea of getting help and tell people to just accept their problems as who they are. Because you don't have any actual respect for it. You like to pretend sometimes, it's part of your piousness, but you don't actually care.

Neither of us, elph. Neither of us are vultures.

Consider this, though.

The way you and others treat people for having different taste is just as hierarchical, bigoted, prejudice and superficial as the oppression that comes from classism. You guys routinely show me just how you'd be exactly the same if given the same power through your actions.

I'd argue that some of you actually are just as classist. Consider every punchline at me has to do with some kind of white trash, wigger stereotype. It's not only culturally bigoted, but it's down right the same exact oppressive attitude you're claiming to hate.
