When a different culture adopts cultural traditions of another culture.
This's a very common process in diverse locations and open-minded people, in which multiple cultures accept and adopt others' traditions.
This's rarely a bad thing - examples of when "cultural appropriation" is when the Nazis adopted the Swastika (卍) from Indian religions and therefore gave it a bad name.
Barbaric philosophy of SJWs conclude that cultural appropriation is a grave sin. This SJW philosophy has very common traits with racial segregation, apartheid, racism, and likewise. Although SJWs believe that they're politically correct, this racist barbaric philosophy can easily be categorized under hate speech, discrimination, or racism, or in the support of thereof.

Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. Cultural Appropriation is the act of believing that wearing an Asian inspired dress and putting a lampshade on your head while saying 'Ching chong willy wong' are as racist as each other.
Idiot 1: Yo I just cancelled someone for Cultural Appropriation.
Idiot 2: Yo why.
Idiot 1: They wore a dress with an Asian pattern.
Idiot 2: Wow, so inspirational. You are saving the world from all this racism.

Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. The idiotic conflation of culture with racism. Essentially the absurd belief that the cultural exchange that has served to enrich humanity throughout all of human history is wrong because racists exist.
SJW: OMG, look at that white girl with dreadlocks! That's cultural appropriation!
Sane individual: Eat a bag of dicks.

Get the Cultural appropriationmug. SJW: "That white girl wears dreadlocks! She can't do that, that's cultural appropriation!"
Everyone else: "So you say she can't do something because of the color of her skin? Really?"

Get the Cultural appropriationmug. It is a Social Justice Warrior movement that is essentially segregation and extremely racist. SJWs claim that groups of people "own" their cultures and nobody is allowed to use it except for that race.
SJW: I am helping the world by enforcing the laws of cultural appropriation!

Get the Cultural Appropriationmug. The ridiculous notion that being of a different culture or race (especially white) means that you are not allowed to adopt things from other cultures. This does nothing but support segregation and hinder progress in the world. All it serves to do is to promote segregation and racism.
"That plain ass white bitch is wearing a bindi! That's classic Cultural Appropriation!"
"Doesn't Osaka in Japan have a bastardized Americanized city? Isn't that Cultural Appropriation?"
"Cultural Appropriation only applies to white people, so that doesn't count."
