Moronic idea that takes guilt by association... And uses it to justify literally segregating culture by race. The concept is believed to come from Western academic circles, now it's widely used by anti-white nationalists as a way of gaining power.
Person A: Hey, don't use that word! You're white, so that's cultural appropriation on your part!
Person B: Wait, I though you guys supported racial equality. Now you're trying to gatekeep culture by race, blood and soil style. Would MLK be proud of you?
Person A: He would agree with us! You whites were oppressing us POC for so long! Now you're trying to steal our culture!
Person B: How do you even steal a culture? Do you, like, lose an access to words when I use them? And besides, what "you whites" are talking about? I for one did nothing against your people, I wasn't even around during the times of slavery. And even if I was, I would likely be a serf. I'm from Russia.
Person A: But if you'll come to US, you'll benefit from the racist system. So it's only fair to compensate for it in advance by treating you as an oppressor, limiting your right for self-expresson, and...
Person B: ...and this is why I'm not coming to US anytime soon. Not until you guys come to your senses.

Get the cultural appropriation mug.The experience one gets when waiting to use the microwave oven at companies that employ workers of various nationalities and denominations.
I got a micro-cultural exposure when I went to heat up my mac'n cheese. There was so much spice in the air, I felt like I was in a Turkish market.

Get the culture-in-law mug.The campus culture of IIT Kanpur; usually characterized by making freshmen sit in a circle and forcing them to hold each other's dicks and justified by the senior batches in the name of increasing senior-junior interaction. IITK culture continued to deteriorate over the recent years and met a horrible death in 2017.
Y15 : These Y17 guys have really destroyed the IITK Culture.
Y14 : True. How are we supposed to interact with them when they can't even hold each other's dicks?

Get the IITK Culture mug.noun: A workplace environment characterized by behaviors and attitudes similar to those stereotypically attributed to a 'Karen.' This culture includes employees' strong sense of entitlement, a tendency to escalate minor issues to higher management, and frequent involvement in HR complaints over trivial matters.
Karen's Work Culture is marked by a collective adherence to specific social norms, prioritizing personal inconvenience over team collaboration and productivity, often resulting in a toxic work environment filled with unnecessary disputes and micromanagement.
