Agree.  It is time to end this debate.  The issue of cultural appropriation has been well discussed from virtually all angles.  Hard to see what more can be added to the discussion.  Those who agree it exists and needs to be stopped are in one camp.  Those who believe it is a non-issue and should be ignored are in another. The lines are pretty much drawn.

 I happen to disagree with notion of cultural appropriation and think that any author should be free to write about whatever they want.  Don't disagree that first nations writers may well be better at writing about first nations experiences, but that should not preclude others from trying or from taking a different perspective on it.  The market place of ideas (and book sales) will judge whether they have done a good job. 

But where I  really disagree with the author is on her view that those who oppose her do so because they are refusing to listen.  Cant speak for everyone, but I have listened, and I still disagree with you.
