Oversensitivity or disrespect?

Sometimes I wonder if we have become too overly sensitive and PC about life in general?

This young Kiwi dancer in the New Zealand Herald article link above has made the big time and good on her for it, in my view.

Parris Goebel is now backup dancer and leading choreographer for the likes of Justin Beiber and Jennifer Lopez.

Her decision to use another international cultural dance style seems to have brought some controversy.

I'm sure Parris is aware of cultural sensitivity and its importance to the various communities from which it belongs.

Let's applaud and encourage her progress on the international stage and screen because it was probably not easy to have made it as she has.

Well done Parris and Beating the Odds wishes you well with your own incredible talent and on your continued journey in supporting these incredibly talented singers.

What do you think about dancers and singers using cultural dances and songs from other cultures?
