@crate249 No, that's cultural diffusion. Cultural diffusion and cultural appropriation are very different. Cultural diffusion is what we saw in the ancient days and what we continue see today. The spread of customs, traditions, languages, scripts, music, literature, food, architecture, clothing, belief systems, philosophical beliefs among others are all part of cultural diffusion. Cultural appropriation is very different and is nothing like cultural diffusion.
It's controversial to adopt traits from a minority group because the group is marginalised or judged from the dominant society's perspective. For example, if Black American women are continued to be asked to have straight hair and use hair relaxers to abide by the standards of US society in corporate positions and other white collar positions yet a White American woman is allowed to adopt hair styles suited to Afro textured hair without any penalty then that's problematic. It isn't fair for society to continue to ask Black American women to straighten their hair or wear wigs to be "professional" yet allow White American women a pass because it's "exotic" or "trendy". There's no fairness in that. That's why cultural appropriation, in this context, is problematic. These days it seems like everybody calls everything "cultural appropriation" but there are specific details as to what constitutes cultural appropriation. This is an example. I hope you understand the difference now.
