I am a white, Middle Eastern woman. I would love to do this hairstyle on a wig to wear to an event. Is it inappropriate? (Page 2)

Question

I looooove the yarn box braid style. I would love to get a wig and install the yarn on it. I am a white, Middle Eastern woman and I am forever fascinated by every culture in the world. I just don't want to be viewed negatively upon society.  Would you consider this to be cultural appropriation and inappropriate if I was to have this hair for a party?  This is what I want to do to my hair.

Do what you want. If someone says you're appropriating culture, tell them to give up the iPhone they appropriated from American culture. or something like, I didn't appropriate your culture, I did this because I appreciate it.

Do it if you want to girl.  I'm not a fan of fake hair, unnatural hair/lip colors, or makeup of ANY kind, but you do you.

Your body, your choice; as long as it's not in an inappropriate situation you should be fine.

Anonymous · Answer

As long as a style is not mocking a group or culture, in my eyes it's ok. I look white but have a lot of mixed ancestry. I feel like many people misjudge when assuming someone they are not part of a culture. My family is part creole, native American, european and middle eastern. many people might not know their official ancestry. You could be from more cultures than you think. Also, what is wrong with someone from another background having an appreciation for the beauty of another culture?

Hair styles are fine to imitate whoever, but if it's skin colour I can see how that would be offensive.
