Write a paper in which you analyze a contemporary example of racial
appropriation in American culture. You may use one of the cases discussed in the essays for this unit (Iggy
Azalea, Native American mascots, etc.),the episode of Atlanta assigned for this unit, or you can examine a
case of your own choosing. Please provide a clear stance on this issue. Does your example lead you to
agree with the various critiques of racial borrowing offered in the essays for this unit (you should cite from
a least a couple of these)? Or do you see yourself siding with writers such as Blay and McWhorter, who
are less quick to cry foul over this issue?Either way, please make sure to quote from the essays from this
unit by way of supporting what you say.
