I feel in a globalized world,we are international citizens and not confined to national borders.There is no need to have superiority complex being white,brown or yellow supremacists.Its only skin deep.
Being adaptable and broad minded,we can adopt and adapt to diverse languages and cultures.That way,there shouldnt be shaming on cultural misappropriation but a sharing of diverse food,music,art and language.
The fusion of culture enriches our lives like food.The Nyonya cuisine embraces Malay and Chinese ingredients.Hong Kong cuisine melds east and west as in truffle flavoured abalone that is delicious,truffle xiao long bao,Polo buns and almond egg white tea.Look at how the Japanese popularized anime n manga and cosplay.Look at how Taiwan popularized bubble milk tea.Look at how Korea popularized K pop.
We need to innovate and create to reach global market.Glocalization is the future as in computer online gaming with local contexts.the videogame by Hong Kong creatives set a stray cat trying to survive in Kowloon Walled City.Thats creativity.or Malone uses steam punk puppets to create a dream fantasy world.And the youths in China recreate Tang dynasty dances based on historical paintings or a classical ink painting come alive using computer animation.The traditional is revived using modern technology.i find it enriches our lives and makes it more interesting and vivid.
EAST IS EAST AND WEST IS WEST
AND WE GET THE BEST
WHEN IT FUSES WITH THE REST.
