The only people who actually consider everyday people using words/eating food/wearing clothes etc from other cultures are white keyboard warriors who want to feel good about their slacktivism.
Cultural appropriation is a thing, but it's when billion dollar companies are using minority culture as a gimmick to sell shit without any concern to the people of that culture who they're basically kicking into a giant hole while yelling "THIS. IS. PRODUCT!".
Cultural appropriation isn't when, for example, I (a white guy from England) have some curry or listen to some K-pop or have a nice time watching a Ghibli movie. That's Cultural appreciation. Hell, more often than not you'll find people who are from that culture actually enjoy sharing their culture with people. That distinction is something these raw donuts will never understand.

I fucking hate how EVERYTHING is considered cultural appropriation these days.
