"Cultural Appropriation"

[Thumpalumpacus]

I think it's perfectly apt to speak about what we think of as the OP's misunderstandings, and I don't have a problem with people bringing their own definitions to such a fucking murky term.

I may well be misspeaking when I use the term "cultural genocide", but the way I see it, even those genocidal cultures (America vs the natives, for example) adopted the cultural practices of the vanquished, even as the victims' cultures are eradicated in practice (perhaps to assuage guilt? Who knows?) But that's okay -- I think the practice is more important than the parlance.
