RE: Culture Belongs to Everyone
The only thing I think is worth calling appropriation is when people actively try to cash in on a certain culture. If our culture didn’t encourage the commodification of everything down to our very personalities, appropriation wouldn’t be a problem, we’d all look at someone who had dreadlocks or a nose ring or whatever else in order to create a kind of image as a bit of a tool. Authenticity makes the whole issue redundant.
