See Cory From 'Boy Meets World' Drop The Mic ... On Cultural Appropriation. Seriously.

You may remember this really popular TV show from the '90s called "Boy Meets World," where one of the main characters was called Cory. Even though "Boy Meets World" is now over, Disney Channel's "Girl Meets World" continued the saga in 2014 with Cory as a grown man.


And man, has Cory grown up all these years. That's some wisdom he's got for this young girl here — who's, er, going through an identity crisis and taking her fashion cues from a Japanese subculture called Harajuku.


Anyway, I'll leave you to it. Thumbs-up for Cory.











So, you might ask, does that mean wearing something from a culture that's not yours disrespectful? Well, the answer's not that simple. But we should all remember that what might be a costume or a fad for you is something other people cherish and might pass on to their children.




These hilarious GIFs came from the depths of Tumblr, put together by a Tumblr user called Maria. The images and plotline shown are originally from the "Girl Meets Popular" episode of Disney Channel's "Girl Meet World."
