16-year-old 'Hunger Games' actress makes cultural appropriation video
Lily Grant @lilygrant UDK
On My Cornrows," Stenberg explains how black culture is adopted by people who don't belong to it and gives several examples of cultural appropriation in pop culture.
"What would America be like if we loved black people as much as we love black culture?" Amandla Stenberg asked in her viral video about cultural appropriation. The 16-year-old actress, best known for her role as Rue in "The Hunger Games," made the video for her high school history project. She posted it on Tumblr in January, but it has now captured the Internet's attention.
Stenberg received backlash from some "Hunger Games" fans when she, a black actress, was cast as Rue.
In her 4-minute, 30-second video titled, "Don't Cash Crop
Stenberg centers her argument around black hairstyles and how they've been adopted by white people and glamorized. She uses cornrows as an example, saying that black people wear them as a functional and stylish hairstyle, but when white people wear them, it's considered cultural appropriation. She shows how over time, cornrows have become a high-fashion statement when worn by a white woman. For example, Kendall Jenner wore cornrows in Marie Claire magazine, where they were labeled
a "new. urban hairstyle."
Miley Cyrus "twerks and uses black women as props," in her music videos, according to Stenberg. Katy Perry "uses Ebonics and hand gestures, and eats watermelon while wearing cornrows," in her video for "This Is How We Do." Stenberg said.
"As you can see, cultural appropriation was rampant," Stenberg said.
Stenberg points out that while white celebrities like Mackelmore and Iggy Azalea were rising to fame for imitating black culture in their music and their aesthetic, police brutality against black people was also getting media attention.
While white celebrities
are profiting from adopting "blackness" as a part of their image, some are failing to use their fame as a platform to speak out against racism.
"The line between cultural appropriation and cultural exchange is always going to be blurred, but here's the thing: Appropriation occurs when a style leads to racist generalizations or stereotypes where it originated, but is deemed as high-fashion, cool or funny when the privileged take it for themselves," Stenberg said. "Appropriation occurs when the appropriator is not aware of the deep significance of the culture that they are partaking in."
