Cultural and Racial Appropriation

If a person dresses like another race - they're racist...If a white man wears cornrows he's appropriating black culture and is being racist, but if a black woman is dressed as Virgin Mary she isn't appropriating a religion (even if it is her own religion) she's just being creative...

How is this fair? How is this logical? Does it make sense? Maybe for a stage anything is allowed?

You choose.

What others call appropriation some might find to be respect, love and admiration of that culture or religion > at least the aesthetics of it. It might be a homage, not a disrespect...

You decide.

Is this all about who's got the power, who's more loved, who brainwashes more people into submission?

Maybe...
