Jeez, sad case that I am I’ve just looked at winners of the premiership and remarkably few teams have won the thing. In the period 1987 -2010 who are the only 2 teams apart from Liecester, Bath & Wasps to have won the thing? (only once each)

Sale and Newcastle?

Correct. Your prize is not a ‘pffft’

Quims, Sarries & the cultural appropriators have also won it since 2010. Wasps, Leicester & Barf have fallen off the pace somewhat

A presenter on a radio station here today wondered out loud if UB40 would be accused of cultural appropriation if they were around today. It was on a serious talkshow station too. And he was serious. I give up. Seriously.

They could be accused of being shite deebs. Shirley that is a more substantial claim.
Also, no, not really. They aren’t replacing/erasing a musical style but contributing to it. Bad Brains contributed to 1980s NY hardcore and I would be racist to make a similar accusation against them.
Something about a melting pot.
clings on to collection of two tone, ska, ska punk and other crossover styles not necessarily performed by the original ethnic group who invented them

It’s weird, growing up we actively celebrated diversity in the ‘scene’ rather than trying to make everyone stay in their (skin colour defined) lane. Like this band for example:

I imagine a band with an ethnic mix of members such as UB40, The Specials or The Beat are faced with the problem that each band member can only play the musical style as dictated by their ethnicity.
The solution is quite simple. The black members play reggae while the white members do a waltz or summat. At the same time.

The Waltz is Austrian.
The Campbell brothers would have to play music from Birmingham. Like Steel Pulse.

I’ve been thinking about the German band pretending to be Irish. I think it’s because they pretend to be Irish (I.e. ‘I went out me house’) that I don’t like them.
But maybe German’s would say that? Seems unlikely but I could be wrong.
