Definitions by Andy Eier

cultural appropriation 

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."
