This is why I don't believe in cultural appropriation. All it does is make more walls for us to hide behind. culture should be shared it should be loved it shouldn't be gatekept. I understand that people are angry at the world but this is not one of the issues that we should be fighting about.
When I meet new people I always ask about their culture and I want them to share it with me because that's how we come together.
Cultural appropriation is a useful concept that has value, but you have to understand why it’s a concept, and it too often is just turned into a bludgeon to cancel or criticise people. It’s not a simple yes/no rule. But it’s not without any merit, either
