Interesting practice

Cool dude for sure!
Not bad at all.
Imagine that, he is hyphenated and abbreviated ...........
send your money to him and be a sucka
cultural appropriation .
We can’t expect them to be consistent. Logical consistency is basically white supremacy.
As a Buddhist Lama, he's apprenticed for at least 5 years with another Lama, which is not at all what cultural appropriation is, this is not commodification or stereotyping the culture of marginilized people. He's literally a practicing Buddhist.
@@baldwintheanchorite so it's OK as long as you spend five years with a 'lama'. Is someone gonna tell 'beyonce' she needs to spend 5 years with Johnny Cash?
@@SofaaKing2If he's culturally appropriative then so is any Western Christian alive today. The reason we don't say that is because practicing Christians understand the cultural symbols and their significance in Christianity, much in the same way that Rod being a practicing Buddhist makes him a steward of Buddhist culture, not an appropriater of it. Learn to understand the definition of things before you attack someone for the strawman of "okayness"
