Who is the victim in cultural apropriation and what is it about the adaption of their culture that caused them harm?
And I'm not talking about theft of land, rape, theft of specific intellectual property like song lyrics or musical riffs.
Those people are victims of rape and theft, not having their culture appropriated.
Who are the victims of people from one culture adapting or using methods from another culture in the way people style their hair, play their music, build their buildings.
The only people who are harmed that I can think of are the people who are doing the apropriating, when it comes adapting harmful aspects of certain cultures, such as genital mutilation, drinking, gambling whatever else.
I don't catagorize white people enslaving black peoples and selectively portraying their history as good or bad cultural apropriation.
It has nothing to do with cultural apropriation.
It's slavery and selective history portrayal.
Nothing to do with the topic which is use or adaption of elements of one culture by people of another culture.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
