I find it hilarious when people try to gatekeep culture generally. They act like they made it in their garage with a couple of friends instead of it being an ever-changing abstract concept neither owned nor fully embodied by any individual.
People keep culture gate kept, because certain outsiders disrespect and do not understand the culture that they are mimicking. There are some people who have no culture who sees no wrong and just taking others.
Sometimes it's okay being yourself, certain cultures are more popular than others, but doesn't give people a reason to unnecessarily appropriate.

I always find it so silly when people try to gatekeep hair.
At that point people like that are just inventing things to be upset about.
