Is learning karate cultural appropriation?

[Bargain Bin Laden]

I want to learn karate to protect myself from niggers in the cold alleyways of my hometown of Detroit

Karate is AKSHUALLY something the Japanese appropriated from the west because boxing was starting to become popular in the west in late 19th century and the nips wanted to have something similar because they thought boxing is cool

No but if you wear a fucking rising sun headband and talk in a fake accent then you deserve your ass kicked

What the hell, what's the point of learning karate then?

Next you'll be telling me you don't get to wear a yarmulke if you learn krav maga.

Every sport that involves men touching men is inherently gay and degenerate.

You're better off learning muay thai or straight up boxing (mma gyms are nice if you have them) if you want to learn to defend yourself. It only takes a few weeks to learn enough to defend yourself, and if you get better, you can clear out a whole alleyway of niggers in record time. If you're looking for a competitive combat sport to practice for years, pick up brazilian jiu-jitsu. It's going to cover up striking's biggest weakness : getting taken down to the ground, which is incredibly easy to do.

It is cultural appropriation, but if you master the art, who’s gonna stop you?

 

[Soup Sammiches]

Not at all, I know Karate and like 3 other Japanese words.

 

[Fascist Frederick]

No but talking about cultural appropriation is cultural appropriation.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I hope so, that would make me want to learn karate.

 

[DankSmoker]

You need to learn kung fu for when the chinks take over.

 

[Moths]

No but be like based chink man and learn MMA and then beat up eastern martial art grandmasters

 

[Pruto]

I hope so, that would make me want to learn karate.

You must be a very open minded multi-cultural guy.
