White girls should stop Twerking AIBU

[Thepowerof3]

To find this comment offensive? A FB (sorry!) friend has posted this comment on a video. I have never twerked nor do I intend to but find it outrageous to be told I shouldn't because I'm white

I think my sciatica would play up something rotten if I tried to twerk or twunk or whatever it is lol. I will play safe dancing around the hoover like Freddie Mercury haha!

Twerking 9 til 5 me

That video looks like an instructional video for how to use a portaloo when there is no loo roll

Pervs tend to lurk when I start to twerk.
I flip over my back and show them my crack.

I'm not going to learn it, I once spent aaaages learning that soulja boi dance only to find that by the time I was any good the whole craze had passed.

I'll stick to bad ironic dancing and miming the words to the songs to convince everyone I'm enjoying myself, thank you very much.

Doesn't matter if you're black, white, or green. EVERYBODY should stop twerking. It's a stupid made up word and doing it makes you look like a giant tit.

I bet being an expert twerker would help child birth - much as a background in belly dancing is said to...

Have visions of Miley Cyrus visiting the osteopath whilst reminding herself to buy some tenna pads

Yanbu. We should have equal rights to make utter twats of ourselves regardless of skin colour.

Buzza

they should all stop doing just stop it THEY ALL look daft ,

Woah double post!

I think as said up thread I dont even think it is a real thing it is a made up word

I want the boundaries better defined too. What if I'm European? Can mixed race girls twerk? Is your Facebook friend a racist misogynist tosser? Should you unfriend him? Should this be in 'Etiquette'? All these questions...

Oh, is THAT what twerking is? I thought it meant pissing around on Twitter in the office all day or something. My back is so fucked it went into spasm at the thought of sitting at a desk for 8 hours, never mind jiggling about like a novelty fairground ride.

He is a she, she is mixed race with a white mother and a black father so by her own rules she do half a twerk? I have unfriended her

Properly laughed at 'whistle while I twerk' SP :)

I think giving twerking that much thought would be a reason to unfriend her

Anybody with a toddler, persuade them they really want to be an orthopaedic surgeon. They'll probably have just qualified as a consultant when all this lot start having back and hip problems.

All girls, white, black or sky-blue pink, should stop twerking. Except possibly Beyonce.

Sorry, I don't know how to make or clicky. This is an interesting article about twerking and "cultural appropriation".

Maybe she just wants to make sure her mum doesn't twerk... I stand by racist misogynist though so the fact she's a woman of colour is

I've read the Guardian article and whilst it is interesting I am so uncomfortable with someone saying certain races should be barred from certain dances/activities by virtue of their colour

shakeandvac hear!

Riotsnodiets i tried to learn the soujaboy dance as well, I got my church youths to teach me, still can't do it (legs get all tangled up/stamped on) so you did well!

The souljaboy lyrics are appalling
