Agreed. When I hear "cultural appropriation!", I hear that 5 year old in the school playground who says "that's only cool when I do it".
You can't steal culture. Just because a person from "outside" the culture does something, that doesn't mean you can't do it anymore.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
