Hmn, nobody owns culture? Maybe you ought to tell that to the people taking back america, in order to make it great again.....?
Funhouse mirrors.
I have to ask, though, is there anything in your comments that disputes that this -was- cultural appropriation..or are you content with calling "sjw's" hypocrites while we raid and pillage?

Quote: If they were consistent they wouldn't, among countless other things, wear blue jeans - the product of working-class Italian immigrants who sewed their pants out of blue-dyed denim from Genoa (from which we get "jeans"). Nearly all forms of pop-music in the West are derived from Afro-American influences. Guess they'd have to stop listening to those or even composing music in Western chord structures, too. No more yoga classes for urban yuppie types. How dare anyone learn another language other than their native tongue! Or even use loan words from other cultures!Why, why wouldn't they do or buy any of these things? All that's required to fulfill -actual- sjw logic is some recognition of how we ended up with those things. Not all of them, ofc, were cultural appropriation. Some were cultural exchange. Pop music..is this country, wasn't one of those things. It was an issue of a performers whiteness being the only difference between commercial success and failure. Elvis, were he actually black or gay...would have been a commercial failure.
