What qualifies as "cultural appropriation"?
How would you define it?
What is the difference between cultural appropriation and plain old disrespect? Do the intentions matter?
Is it cultural appropriation when a white person has dread locks? When a white person runs a food truck that sells Mexican food?
Can a minority appropriate another minority’s culture or does it always have to involve the majority?
Does cultural appropriation clash with the concept of a multicultural society? Seems like a tall order to expect cultures to live together but not borrow from each other.
I’m asking all these questions because I genuinely find the concept of “cultural appropriation” confusing. If someone who understands it better can explain it, that would be great.
