Cultural appropriation does not need to be a divisive issue. A simple law requiring everyone to dress according to their ethnic background should solve the matter. No more three-piece suits for most minorities. Loin cloths, serapes, thobes, and similar attire will be welcome in board rooms. However, umbrellas will be available only to people of European descent during inclement weather. This may cause some hardships for minority groups here and there. Blacks in particular may find northern tier winters unduly harsh. That is a small price to pay for avoiding cultural issues. Some exceptions may be made for the sake of safety. For instance, minority football players will still be allowed to wear helmets and pads, but not cleats, pants, or jerseys. Basketball players, on the other hand, should do almost as well in their native customs. Sandals may not grip the turf or the hardwood as well and will slow down some skill position players. Once again, a small sacrifice to protect their cultural identity.
