The idea that you are insulting another culture by learning and practicing some aspect(s). I’m not talking about ridicule or inaccurate claims. I’m not into yoga are meditation, but I find food from many nations. In high school everyone participated in different Mexican dances which failed to provoke any more outrage. The same was true for Mexican clubs where food and music was fun. I guess I’m guilty of micro aggression when I ask my wife to cook her Thai food.

And yet, those perpetually offended by whites will move on to further offenses. What is left to provoke outrage is left is unclear when blacks are now deeply angered and offended by the sight of a white person.

The ones offended by whites "cultural appropriation" tend to be mainly white liberals or some blacks

Indians are happy that Westerners try to follow yoga -- it shows India as a source of something good and that is extremely flattering. Ditto for kung fu from China or a BBC accent from the UK.
