I Am Going to Say Something Controversial
Cultural appropriation is not a thing.
In the extremely rare cases of say, the Nazis co-opting the swastika, I could make an exception. They literally took a symbol from another culture and made it their own. It was deliberate. And let's be clear: there's a difference between disrespecting/mocking someone's culture and "cultural appropriation". The latter usually refers to an unintentional "misuse" of something that belongs to another culture. But define "belong" and define "misuse". You'll find fewer and fewer examples fit the bill.
