How STUPID And RACIST Is "Cultural Appropriation"?

Is it "cultural appropriation when black actors play the part of white Founders of the United States like in the painfully stupid musical "Madison"? Would it be "cultural appropriation" for a black man to play James Bond when Ian Fleming created him white? Does cultural appropriation mean NO black or Asian actor can play ANY of Shakespeare's lead characters, because they were all white, and can only Jews play Shylock?

Africans did not invent the violin and Asians did not invent the piano - should ALL blacks and Asians who play in classical symphonies be accused of cultural appropriation and be banned? In fact symphonies and the tone poems themselves were created by white Europeans; should an American Indian be prevented from ever conducting one at a concert?

Careful what you wish for Social Justice Maniacs...you might just get what you demand.

I don't get it. If a Native American eats a Big Mac, is that cultural appropriation?

@Karlbodge YES! Even more if EITHER of them eat French Fries - Pomme Frites! But if you don't believe me there is someone here who thinks only Mexicans should run Mexican restaurants or else it is cultural appropriation...and being an SJW she is the expert!

@Abrienda I remember being told that we called them Freedom Fries after 9/11. Is that cultural appropriation?

Sorry for the questions but you seem real smart and I am real confused. I might not wanna eat Mexican food if it's been appropriated by Mexicans.
