“Coconut Trees, Ocean and Palm Leaves” UC Irvine Resolution Against Phi Gamma Delta Fijians and Cultural Appropriation
Friday, May 30, 2014 19:19
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The insanity found on most campuses have also enveloped UC Irvine, usually one of the saner schools in the county. That was until Phi Gamma Delta, nicknamed the Fijians, hosted a Fiji-themed party. Never mind that many of the students fall under the category “Asian-American Pacific Islander”. They are guilty of “Cultural Appropriation”.
Now comes forth the UCI student government with one of those resolutions or proclamations, or whatever you call it.

“Whereas, the materials included the event title on a background of ocean and palm trees and;“
“Whereas, these actions sanctioned and promoted by the fraternity are egregious acts of cultural appropriation of both the name and culture of the indigenous people of Fiji and; “
It gets better……
5) There is a UN convention of the Rights of Indigenous people that recognizes the need for natives to preserve entities that are endemic to them and this includes their cultures, language, and most importantly EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP TO THEIR IDENTITY! What you’re doing in your event by using Fiji Islander is committing group identity theft which is subject to legal ramifications under international law.
A violation of international law, be jeezus!!
I’ll bet at least half of these people don’t even know where Fiji is.
