I actually think most cries of cultural appropriation are garbage, from the prom dress to hand wringing about gross white dreads, or people mad about fusion dining (lol).

There's a pretty clear line between actual racist behaviour and passive appropriation, but I also think there's a valid conversation to be had about where that line is and how much it's shifted in the last 30 years. That said, I don't really get to decice how other cultures may feel about what they see as appropriation, and i definitely feel like oppressor/oppressed situations are a bit more egregious.

It's a shame that the posters on this forum are more interested on scoring cheap likes and virtue signaling to one another rather than acknowledging the conversation.
