   Has anyone yet argued that we shouldn't have interfered with, or   
   objected to, Germany's native Nazi culture?  Isn't objecting to   
   millions of innocent civilians being murdered the same sort of thing   
   as saying that kimchi smells bad?  Of course I'm not suggesting that   
   anyone outside the German culture should kill millions of innocent   
   civilians.  Not because it's inherently wrong, of course, but because   
   it would be cultural appropriation.  Just as eating Korean food is,   
   unless you're a Korean person living in Korea.   
      
   Can I get a DEI job now?  Or am I still not Diverse, Equitable, and   
   Inclusive enough?
