What’s bizarre is when people start throwing the label “Cultural Appropriation” around without thinking it through. I remember reading about a Kimono exhibit up in the Boston area being protested because people thought wearing Kimonos were a type of Cultural Appropriation.
Lord knows there’s been enough racist Halloween costumes to last a lifetime, but trying to learn and involve yourself (respectfully) in another culture isn’t appropriation. Especially when people from that culture are trying to expand awareness of it.
