Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. The act of contaminating white culture with outside influences.
Proponents of this term demand that customs, practices or traditions that originated in a non-white culture be kept out of it.
Increasingly, the term is used to purge non-white culture altogether.

"You can't wear a colombian costume on Halloween, that's cultural appropriation!"
"I am colombian."
"That doesn't matter; it might trigger the other white racists."

Get the cultural appropriationmug. when white people thinks it's okay to steal all the ~~~pretty~~~ or appealing things from cultures and use them for attention (i.e basically every white female celebrity with a bindi or miley cyrus and 'twerking') . It's pretty annoying and i ask you to please stop
example of cultural appropriation:
miley cyrus: i may be a hill-billy but i can twerk!!!
white audience: lmao raise da roof!!!!!! holla!!
black audience: "hysterical laughter"
miley cyrus: i may be a hill-billy but i can twerk!!!

Get the cultural appropriationmug. The adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture. Many people mistake cultural appropriation with Cultural Appreciation. As there is a difference between taking the time to learn about a culture and taking a culture's traditions, clothing etc. and misrepresenting them.
Cultural Appropriation: Wearing a Native American costume is offensive because the clothing in that culture is very sacred
Cultural Appreciation: Taking some time to learn about Native American culture (traditional dances, clothing, foods etc.)
Not to mention some cultures have a dark history attached to them and they still face present-day issues.
So if you truly want to embrace a culture, then do a bit of research on the culture and do it properly.

Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. Cultural appropriation were first used by Black Americans to negate White Americans from stealing their culture and making it fashion among themselves; especially, without giving credit where credit was due. The reason why Black Americans call White Americans out on this is because America has a nasty history with slavery, stealing the land, civil rights, and so on. Moreover, Black Americans suffered the most and were made fun of through minstrel shows and lynching. Hence the reason why Black Americans used cultural appropriation against White Americans.
Black Americans may also used this terms against other ethnicities because sometimes other ethnic groups may not be aware or ignorant to Black Americans' history.

Example 1 Cultural Misappropriation:
White Person: What are those nasty looking things in your hair?
Black Person: They are called dreadlocks.
White person: Do you wash them?
Black Person: Of course it's my hair (DumbAss).
Example 2 Cultural Appropriation:
White person: Wow, what are those in your hair? It so unique!
White person: Oh, they are called dreadlocks.
White person: Wow, I want some too!
