@liztai The issue in the states with cultural appropriation has to more to do with the power structures rather than pure culture. White people, colonizers, take the culture away from people they have conquered and subjugated and make mockery of it.

Think about blackface: For hundreds of years white people captured and sold human beings into chattel slavery. They brought with them music and dance unseen by whites. White performers stole that, marked their faces black, and profited. (Cont'd)
