Cultural Appreciation 

Cultural appreciation is taking the time out to learn about different cultures and their traditions. To become more open in understanding the truths about a culture and embracing them in a respectful manner.

Every culture is absolutely beautiful and unique, and it's no wonder other cultures want emulate that.

Unfortunately, Cultural Appreciation can get confused with the term Cultural Appropriation

Cultural appreciation is enjoying foods and music from different cultures, and giving credit to the source.

cultural cross-pollination 

The way and extent that cultures influence each other. Gained some notoriety on the internet when used by Garnt on episode 23 of the Trash Taste podcast. Note that he didn't invent the term.

There has been some cultural cross-pollination between Japanese anime and western cartoons when it comes to visual styles.

Cultural Catholic 

Someone who identifies with at least some Catholic teachings and traditions, likely because of upbringing, but is not active in the Catholic Church.

A "cultural Catholic" was raised in a Catholic family, probably attended Catholic services as a child, and possibly attended Catholic school for at least a few years. Catholic teachings and traditions may influence the person's behavior, decision-making, and holiday celebrations, but a "cultural Catholic" no longer attends Mass or practices his or her faith. The person may continue to attend weddings, funerals, and other events that take place in the Catholic Church but does so out of consideration for family and friends rather than as an expression of his or her own faith.

That family goes to the movies rather than to Mass on Christmas Day, but they still incorporate a manger into their holiday decor because they're "cultural Catholics."

cultural genocide 

Cultural genocide is a term used to describe the deliberate destruction of the cultural heritage of a people or nation for political, military, religious, ideological, ethnical, or racial reasons.

Usually this is an attempt by the government to suppress the people of any nation into believing their distorted history.

Tearing down that historical building was cultural genocide and the government is covering up.
