Why I can no longer identify as "liberal":

Because if you can't understand that your stated goal of "promoting an actively anti-oppressive space" isn't advanced by telling a burlesque performer that she can only perform dances appropriate to her race, you have serious problems. Not least of which is five or six too many multicultural studies classes.

Ritual chanting of the sacred words "appropriation" and "colonialism" will not change this fact, no matter how hard you believe in your moral superiority.
