Yeah, it's definitely all over the place, though usually I see it invoked as not much more than fun/wackiness. Certainly, it is FUN, but the exploitation is still disgusting (if not surprising). But I think that the Jamaican/Hawaiian cultural blurring is especially offensive and condescending. God forbid folks should learn about the specifics of different cultures . . . ah well, that's TV for ya. |
