‘Cultural Appropriation’ is an impossible phrase.
To appropriate something is to take something that is owned by someone else for your own. But cultures, languages and religions do not have owners. Only users.
You can not take it.
Even if you use it, the originators, still have complete and total use of it.
You are correct.
“Appropriated” would mean the original owner no longer had “it”.
A better word would be adopted or adapted.
Amen
Logic like this is why liberals, dems and progressives hate you.....Wear it like a badge of honor
Excellent point. It’s a contrived, ridiculous phrase.
The ignorant and self-absorbed woke crowd is like a plague of locusts, destroying everything in its path.
I refuse to abide by their stupid nonsense, as do many others I know.
