One of the best ways to divide us humans even further, by telling to ourselves that sharing cultures is a threat to a nation, even with the reality that all cultures must be welcoming what other cultures can offer for mutual growth.
If you believe a white man for example can not be inspired by cultures made by blacks/yellows/whatever just because his skin is white, you are a threat to the survival of culture itself, as assimilating good values of other cultures to improve yours and sharing your good values to those interested as well is vital to humanity's growth as a whole.

Jane, the Woke SJW: You can't wear a Salakot, you cis white man! That's cultural appropriation! You're endangering Filipino culture by wearing that!
Dylan, A Filipino born in the US: Yes! It is not appropriate! Salakot is for Filipinos only! *takes it from the white guy*
Sean, the white guy: WTF!
Teodoro, a Filipino from the Philippines: *grabs the salakot from Dylan and gives it back to Sean* What are you guys talking about? It's fine! Nothing's wrong with a white guy wearing our creations, as it promotes and shows the capability of Filipino weavers, idiot! Also, it's art, and art must be shared, bobo!
Dylan: *confused on what bobo means*

Get the Captain Appropriatemug. Not in the same vein as an over "exaggeration" or an "under exaggeration."
In the act has a similar result to regular exaggeration, but when stated causes the "Oh yeah, I guess I can see that... " response in those who hear it.

Person 1: Ugh, that person ended up keeping me up all night last night! I didn't get to sleep till like 3 in the morning...
Person 2: That's not really all night.
Person 1: It is when you have to wake up at 5 for work the next day, dude. It's an appropriate exaggeration...
Person 2: Oh yeah, I guess I can see that...

Get the appropriate exaggerationmug. Social Repose thinks him dressing in a native american headdress isn't cultural appropriation because he's a dumb emo white boy who knows everything...

Get the cultural appropriationmug. When white people cash in on things invented by cultures that they normally make fun of. For example, hiring British white actors to play ancient Romans and The Mummy in the Mummy movie. They call the actual members of that race the "ghetto" Egyptians. Like not ALL Egyptians are ghetto (For example the British actors that play them). After they do that they start yelling at strangers on their TV news saying stuff like "Let me guess are they offended???" Even though they know they did it because they are white supremacists and would refuse to watch a movie with the actual race in it.
"The only reason Despacito made it on the white people radio stations is specifically and only because of Cultural Appropriation by a white guy."

Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. Something is too appropriate when it is accidentally extremely inappropriate, usually initially intended as something entirely innocent. Mistakenly thought to be synonymous with 'inappropriate', when in fact there is a very fine line between the two.
Inappropriate: rocking up to Michael Jackson's funeral dressed as a Thriller zombie.
Too appropriate: rocking up to a zombie-themed costume party as Michael Jackson from Thriller, only to have him die later that night.

Get the Too appropriatemug. When a man/woman adopts performing typical roles of the opposing gender. I.e. a man who starts washing the dishes or a woman who mows the lawn.
