I Stopped Using Asian Martial Arts Because of Cultural Appropriation? (Page 2)

I'm half Peruvian and half afro-brazillian. In my college, many Asian students seem to hate the idea when a non-asian person (especially white people) uses Asian martial art (kung fu, taekwondo, karate etc). These Asian Sjws are more extremist then the BLM activist in my university. There was recently a martial arts club started in my university sponsored by a local mma gym and many Asian students are doing the whole "non-asians especially white people using our martial arts they are appropriating something that was meant for us"... Many of these East-Asian students actually follow the teachings of people such as "Wong Jack Man" who hated bruce lee for teaching white people secrets of the Chinese fighting system and considered Bruce Lee a "race traitor" I don't buy into any sjw cultural appropriation ideas. The martial arts I grew up with was taekwondo (korean martial arts) because my father was a black belt and taught it to me. Then I furthered my learning in taekwondo dojos. But I have come to resent and hate many of these Asian students for being this way, for the way they treat non-asians especially my white friends, that I actually don't want to use any Asian martial arts anymore. So now the only martial arts I use and learn from are non Asian martial arts like Rumi Kami (a Peruvian martial arts) and Capoeira (an afro-brazilian martial arts), martial arts from my own race and culture. Many times these Asian students like to claim stuff like "if it wasn't for us Asians Connor mcgregor wound't be a good fighter since he uses Asian martial arts"... I don't buy into cultural appropriation sjw crap but when many Asians students in my college act this way I don't wanna touch any east Asian thing with a stick, I grow to resent them and hate their culture as well. I would never treat a person like that, I would never make someone feel bad for wanted to be part of my afro-latino/hispanic culture. Thoughts?
