I hear all this uproar all the time about people who use cultural appropriation, yet sometimes I just don’t see what the problem is. I get that it has been done for malicious intent before and I’m not defending that or suggesting I agree with doing it for such purposes, but is, for example, a chef cooking a certain dish that originates from a land that is not his own, or other examples, really worth the same uproar?
I put it to you that cultural appropriation doesn’t exist. Someone either borrows from a culture because they think it’s beautiful or they maliciously make fun of it.
