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.A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.
By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.

Get the Cultural Appropriation mug.The family friendly show/celebration was not age appropriate because of overt (dildo attached to singer screaming SEX! SEX! SEX!) sexual content.

Get the Appropriate mug.when someone appropriates their own culture for attention and monetary gain. In contrasts to sell outs they are selling in. They are selling goods, particularly through the media, within their culture for a profit. They have little interests in their personal lives. They will normally end up marrying outside their race and living outside their community. However, they believe they are making a positive in their community. Instead they are sending conflicting messages.
Donald and Jordan are not aware of their conflicting appropriation. They want to bring awareness to racial issues through entertainment. Yet they show little interest in their personal life.
