Arse vs. ass
"Arse" is a British expression for a "stupid person",
Girlfriends but it could also be a synonym for "ass". There's some confusion because both are derived from horses as a group of animals. "Ass" is also the correct word for a donkey in the USA.
The word arse originated as an innocuous name for the body part however, it has since evolved into an unpopular term. "Ass" was an abbreviation of the arse term in the 19th century. It was originally used to describe horses-like animals. However, it was transformed into a slang word for an arse in the 1860s. It is also used in the expression "to snort about". "To make an ass of oneself" also makes use of the word "ass" which is closely related to "to arse around". However there are numerous threads of meaning that come from arse that do not appear in the term 'ass'.

Nordic Halloween.
In addition to adopting elements of minority cultures A dominant group may also use intellectual property from the minority group. Blackfishing is a prime example. It is important to keep in mind that people of color have a long history of being marginalized and disenfranchised. Think about, for instance, the history of the marginalization of black people when you see someone wearing an outfit that resembles blackface.
