I think "cultural appopriation" can be a fair complaint, like yeah you probably shouldn't make a halloween costume out of a group's traditional clothing.
why does the term "cultural appropriation" piss people off so much. -

If we can't mock each other's heritage then why bother intermixing at all?
Being mean is bad. Everything has to be positive.
Why do you hate traditional cultures OP?
My family has a proud history of killing Indians and I will be damned if I don’t continue our cultural tradition of mocking their existence
Because most of the posters on this board supposedly live in multicultural societies, of which one of the alleged claims is that inter cultural encounters can be a source of enrichment for one another and like other forms of human development it involves finding something that already exists and adapting it in some way.
It's also incredibly one sided. Speaking as an asian; look at the far east today. They all have part or wholesale adopted aspects of western culture such as music or dress and nobody cares if I wear a tux or not. But like with the now infamous "My culture is not your prom dress" fiasco the moment a white person wears a qipao or dreadlocks the woke inquisition loses their minds.
White people have a culture too and I'm allowed to adapt or adopt theirs in any way I choose but DONT YOU DARE TOUCH MY THINGS WHITE DEVILS!!!
I wouldn't be offended if someone wore my traditional dress as a halloween costume; I've dressed up as a knight, vampire and the like before because sometimes an outfit just looks pretty. But I'm not white so I get a free pass I guess.

You're right. Any white person who acts, dresses, or talks like a nigger should be hung.

I think this is as good a place as any to post this story. I met an old black man at work the other day and he and I began discussing the state of Alabama. At one point he decided to tell me about how his next door neighbor was Grand Wizard or whatever for the KKK and how he used to babysit his kids for him. He said it wasn't anything unusual because he understood that while the man he was babysitting for hated aspects of his race he didn't hate him. In fact, he went on to say that the Grand Wizard once told him he didn't even really hate black people, he just didn't want them sleeping with white people specifically. It's one of the most eye opening conversations I've ever had regarding race relations. I never thought I would see a black man whom I know to be very 'anti-racism' speak so kindly of a member of the KKK.
Because sharing elements from cultures has been something human beings do since the dawn of civilization.
I can see where the idea must have started and to be fair it's somewhat reasonable, in the 2000s you had dumb white girls with Asian character tattoos that probably didn't even know what they meant (or were wrong about what they thought they meant) or dumb frat guy types with Polynesian tribal tattoos that probably didn't even know what the word Polynesian meant.
In other words it's when white people didn't have a genuine appreciate for another culture but only adopted things as part of chasing trends.
But it quickly evolved into something unreasonable, SJWs now don't care whether you have a genuine appreciation of another culture or not, whether you're willing to educate yourself about something or not, it literally all boils down to if you're white then it's "hands off" anything is not a part of "white" culture.
But again, it's a two way street, cultures have always borrowed and adapted things from one another, it's absurd that SJWs want to try to segregate and ghettoize white people as only being able to be one specific thing.

Have you ever watched the documentary "Accidental Courtesy"? Daryl Davis has the same mindset. He initially started talking to some of them after one of his shows simply because they all enjoyed the same music and realised that a lot of the hate is simply due to ignorance and being brainwashed in their youth. Over the decades, he befriended several of them to the degree that they chose to leave the klan. One of them was an Imperial Wizard no less and asked Davis to be his daughter's godfather.
I always found it amusing that these sorts go on and on about how woke they are for having 'diverse' friends, yet most of them probably never lived in a foreign culture (or in a different environment than they're accustomed to) and only speak one language). Their friends had to 'culturally appropriate' a language foreign to them just to communicate with their dumb asses.

That reminds me of a Louis Theroux documentary where he goes to interview a white supremacist; the guy has black neighbours that he's quite friendly with and when Louis points out that they're, well, black the guy just looks at him and says "Well yeah, but they're good ones." as if Louis is being stupid.
I've met a few "racists" here in Canada and they're much the same, they take a dim view towards certain groups of people on paper but on an individual level they'll happily be polite if not even friendly with somebody outside of their race. People are strange.
I don't care if any dumbass weeaboos wear kimonos and shit, just don't steal from our culture or force your "superior" culture onto us.
Because 99% of the people that utilize the term are young urban white people that need to compensate for their latent racism and lack of self-determination, and the only way that their microcephalous minds could think to accomplish this was pretend they care even halfway about the "minorities" they'll generally lump together like they're some homogeneous "other" while oftentimes bungling history in their white savior complex (e.g. not realizing that braids have always been a multiethnic phenomenon).
Cultural appropriation in the way they want others to understand term does happen, but it's rarely a valid complaint when reported on at all. And hardly anyone cares-- even if it was able to be seen as offensive, the "minorities" they want to defend from the "bad whites" could not care enough. Far too busy either trying to survive or trying to succeed.

To be fair, though, I can understand that.
I've definitely run across groups of people that, as a whole, tend to exhibit some horrible behavior that I can't stand, and most of the members are pretty much walking stereotypes. But then I've also encountered individuals who technically belong to that group, but don't fit the stereotype at all and are generally very nice people. Sometimes it can be really tempting to just outright say you hate that group because 90% of the ones you've encountered were utter shit, even though you actually like the 10% of them that were nice.
Press F for my brother.
People don’t like being told they’re racist. And cultural appropriation is always racist.
