What's interesting is that you never see the same mob attack say a Native American for wearing Levi's or Blacks for watching TV shows made by whites. That's because by definition only minorities can have their culture appropriated. Hence a white girl wearing a Chinese styled dress is evil but a Chinese man owning a McDonalds franchise is great.
The reality is that the whole culture appropriation racket is nothing more than one more leftist attempt to generate hatred between Americans.
Honest and sane people realize that when a white woman wears a Chinese style dress she's complementing Chinese peoples fashion sense. But how can complementing someone be evil?
The Left can't win if Americans are united and hence it does everything possible to cause us to split into little tribes that all hate each other. The cultural appropriation lie is one of the Left's attempts to convince anyone who isn't white that white's hate them and are exploiting them.
The very fact that cultural appropriation is only bad if it's done by white people shows the bigotry and hatred of the Left. What other sin do you know of that is only bad when done by one race? Murder, rape, theft, hatred are all bad no matter what the race of the person committing the crime; Mao's mass murder is just as bad as Hitlers even though Hitler was white and Mao was Chinese.
But making sins dependent on race is a standard technique for the Left; that way they can condemn whites while excusing minorities for the exact same actions. For example the Left says that minorities can't be racist. Hence if some Black men kill a white man because he's white that's not a racist event but if some white men kill a Black man because he's Black that is a racist event in the eyes of the Left.
The "rationale" that the Left uses is that since the minority doesn't have power they can't be racist. The problem is that by that criteria the Democrat founded KKK and neo-Nazi's can't be racist either because neither group has any power--neither group could get their candidate elected to dog catcher much less to any powerful political office.
The truth is that whites use elements of minority culture out of respect and admiration. We listen to the blues because it's great music and we eat Chinese food because it tastes great.
Even the Left, by its actions, admits that cultural appropriation is complementary. When's the last time you heard the Left condemn whites for becoming Buddhist or wearing a man bun?
Man buns are clearly Chinese in origin since they've been an element of Chinese men's hair style for hundreds of years yet we don't hear the Left declaring that leftists with man buns are evil.
As with most leftist arguments the whole tirade by the Left about cultural appropriation is just an emotional scream of hatred with no rational content. Using aspects of other cultures is obviously a complement to that culture; no racist Southerner for example would put their hair in corn rows for example.
Next time you're discussing cultural appropriation with some white Buddhist man bun wearing leftist call them out and demand that they become Christian and get a crew cut since they're white.
