Something that white people came up with because they have nothing better to complain about even though minorities like myself literally couldnt care less
Person: (wears something related to another culture)
White social justice warrior: OMG CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Person from that culture: Oh that’s nice I like to see other people trying things from my culture in order to break the divide between our cultures

Get the Cultural Appropriation mug.A phrase coined by F8thLeSS-Priicher meant to be a stupid way of making a negative statement with a referance to "My Hime" an anime in which one character's hair has ponytail-like things that look like sausages and is the jealous-type and when she thinks her "boyfriend" is looking at someone else her hair moves around franticly while she yells at him.
Clutz: Why won't this Computer work?!
F8thLeSS: Because The Sausages do not Approve of your methods.
Clutz: *punch*
F8thLeSS: Asshole...

Get the appropriately tasteless mug.The act of taking customs, practices, or traditions from one culture (usually by a member of a dominant culture) to either mock or simplify the meaning or significance of that piece of culture. Also, taking/wearing something from another culture and appreciating it only when it is not on the body of a member of that culture.
Examples/applications of cultural appropriation:
Giuliana Rancic: OMG Kylie Jenner's dreadlocks are so cool and edgy!!
Giuliana Rancic: OMG Zendaya must smell like weed and patchouli.
Any male or female that is NOT Native American wearing a Native American headdress because those headdresses are reserved for MALE elders after a religious ceremony; it's not just a cute hat.
Wearing bindis, dashikis, dreadlocks, saris, kilts, clogs, or any other type of clothing that is not native to your own culture without acknowledging the history these clothes come from or the oppression that some people who wear those clothes have to face because they are different from the majority culture in a specific country.

Get the cultural appropriation mug.When a person takes something with cultural significance from another culture for their own, but doesn't respect or understand the cultural significance the something has. Instead they only claim to 'like' the culture because of what they can gain from it.
Eg:
White kid 1: Ugh, Indians have such stupid customs and shit.
White kid 2: Yeah OMG!
Later
White kid 1: OMG Bindis are so cool! I love Indians! I'm all for Hindu or whateverr
Indian kid: wtf cultural appropriation much.
