A term used by people who try to make someone feel guilty about their discovery of another culture different than their own. (It's usually used by a white person or a radical sjw doing it to a white person) In general, it has no basis since no human within the human race can truly appropriate another culture. We are all related.
Person 1: Look at your hair! Why do you have braids? That's cultural appropriation.
Person 2: I like it. I think it's cute.

Person 1: So? It's still cultural appropriation.
Person 2: Braids are universal. They belong to several different cultures - just like humans do.
