(THE COLLEGE FIX) – A professor at Northeastern University says that, like with cultural appropriation, “whiteness” also is behind religious appropriation.
According to Liz Bucar, whiteness becomes apparent when “practices associated with bodies of color are adopted by white agents, when histories of racism are erased, and when forms of appropriation position white Americans as the proper interpreters of the ‘true’ meaning of a practice.”
Bucar (pictured) told Religion & Politics that progressives aren’t as in tune with appropriation of a religious nature as they are with that pertaining to culture.
