For example, white people using "Bling Bling" or "All Dat" and some idiots, thinking it's ok to say "M' N****R" to a black friend! NO CLUE, and just thinking they are trying to connect and fit in, like NERDS trying to Date the Cheerleader!
The best way I can describe it is when you utilize a style, methods, language, traditions, food or anything else that represents another culture that doesn't match your race or skin color the way the woke cult wills it, even if the culture to race associations are wrong like how dreadlocks aren't specifically African. It doesn't matter what your intentions are for doing it, guilt is already assumed and you will be disparaged as a racist.
It's really racist and the only ones who don't see the irony in this concept are the racist SJWs who push this garbage.
It's when a person of one culture adopts certain things from another culture. It could be trying out new style of clothing, dishes, songs, dance steps, rituals etc. I don't know treatment and spiritual training is inclusive in the term.
I think I've heard the term recently, don't remember where.
in brief: total political nonsense. Start with for example if u are a white person, and you attempt to look like an Asian person in appearance etc, that would be classified as cultural appropriation. Its also more subtle in that if you use a term in for example a chinese language, but you are not chinese, then its supposed "culrutal appropriation". or if some white folks put black color on their faces to make them look like black folks as part of a party joke, they get shamed for mocking a certain ethnicity. ultimately its all hogwash in my opinion.
Remember when imitation was the highest form of flattery? I hope one day we can get to a place where we all realize our geography might separate us but we're all striving for the same things for the most part. We should all be celebrating our differences, like cuisine, art, fashion etc.
We should also acknowledge history and all the terrible things humans have done to fellow humans so we don't repeat them. That all being said, we need to start looking at each other as friends and not foes. Unfortunately you can't force everyone to like each other but we can certainly be better to each other.
We're all humans of the same race. We should be proud of what we've all accomplished, acknowledge our mistakes, vow to be better, and have fun and appreciate each other.
Appropriation is defined as the action of taking something for one's own use, typically without the owner's permission.
Cultural appropriation is defined as the unacknowledged or inappropriate adoption of the customs, practices, ideas, etc. of one people or society by members of another and typically more dominant people or society.
As if they or the person who is considered a type of culture or person has any right to said culture. I remember in anthropology 101 that many cultures adapt and evolve things the learn from other cultures. For example the Italians taking up pasta though technically noodles came from China. Or some cultures like to believe that only theirs enjoy spicy food when in reality chiles came from Mexico.
Cultural appropriation refers to the perception that a person is copying another person's cultural identity and acting like they are entitled to it. The perception is almost always misconstrued since all culture is copied and embellished upon by everyone.
The way I kinda see it is if someone uses another culture for their own gain. Say a famous white woman with naturally straight hair wears dreads in her hair and says she made up a new hairstyle, uses it as her marketing, and profits off the fact she āmade the hairstyleā then Iād say thatās cultural appropriation. Iām not big on saying things are cultural appropriation though since itās not reaaally a real thing.
It's where prissy snowflakes don't understand that an individual of Caucasian European ancestry putting on the clothes designed by members of a different coloured skin are actually just making sure they don't get arrested for indecent exposure, but it's deemed "inappropriate"
The reverse - people of non-caucasian ancestry - wearing European-designed clothing and behaviour is, obviously, not "appropriating" European culture because naturally only Caucasian people can be racist in accordance to the fuckwits rulebook for snowflakes.
When folk Dye their hair red, wear tartan and drink whisky they steal my culture... Everyone has done one of the above... Do we kick up a stink, naw we do not! We have pride that our beautiful little country and its culture spreads wide around the globe... It sets the Scots apart from the rest
Most of the folks here have answered it quite ably. I will add that it is very often a tactic used to shut down a competing business. Here in California it has been used to attempt to shut down non-Mexican street vendors selling tacos on college campuses.
It's a tool used by liberals to support their victimology. When they do it, it's called celebrating diversity or multiculturalism. But when they see an opportunity to cancel someone they don't agree with, they call it cultural appropriation. This is usually followed by charges of racism, moral lecturing, and virtue signaling.

It is where you inappropriately model a culture in a form of ridicule or degradation, it apparently isn't allowed unless the culture you are ridiculing or degrading is white , because racisms.
Any sensible person can do their best not to be rude, but critiquing a culture or questioning its tenets is crucial to growth and acceptance in society. Bad practices need to be pointed out and corrected. It is unreasonable and insane to say any portrayal of a culture not your own is offensive and evil. A respectful representation is entirely reasonable and improves understanding and acceptance.
The most simple answer is probably when someone takes something from another group's culture. It can literally be anything that is defined as part of a specific's group culture, solely. It really shouldn't even exist tbh. No one "owns" anything in our individual culture. Just cuz one group started something doesn't mean only they can have it. For example, some people might see a white woman wearing dreads to be cultural appropriation, as it was taken from black culture. But again, no one "owns" the hairstyle, nor should they. It's insane for anyone to think they can just completely "own" a particular concept just cuz it began with their people.
Ever had a friend who is so fixated on external cultural cues (hair, styles of speech or dress, mannerisms) that they make a fool of themselves posing as (whatever. Black, Latino, British, Jamaican, cross-dressing female impersonation, etc.)?
Someone fundamentally dissatisfied with THEIR OWN 'born' potential and profoundly envious of another's. A 'Cosplay Poser'~
its basically black people trying to get copyright over a certain fashion or hair... for example... theyre trying to claim braids as their own.., and anyone else who wears em... they say they are "stealing" from them... its fucking bullshit because black people steal from our culture too when they tuck in their shirt in their pants... or wear a tie... or straighten their hair... im pretty sure white people did that stuff first... all cultures use other cultures fashion.. we all share from each other... so black people can jus fuck off with their culture appropriation bullshit... they dont own braids, fucking clowns
It's not to be taken that way. Don't blame blacks. Its more rich white kids that make these kinds of bulshit rules up. The academic stuff white kids who never really are out on the street tonight. Because nobody cares about that shir on the streets. It's only in the college They cause racism to just multiply with this dumb shit.
@Rennitenn sorry if you are black, i have nothing against them personally, im not racist, i jus got pissed off cos i wanted to grow dreadlocks, then recently i saw a vid of a black woman being hostile to a white guy with dreads so thats why i was salty
I used to have dreadlocks lol when i was younger and im not black. Back when I have them in the 90s black people didn't even hardly have them LOL that's what's funny about that. Cuz I'm white

You must be pretty simply, then.
It's copying another cultures symbols or rituals for your own profit or depiction. The "intent" on the offending side is what decides the level of appropriation.
Some do it accidentally, others do it to cause offence.
It's just another way for people to feel victimized and say something is racist. An example would be black people saying white people can't have corn-rows in their hair because it's a black thing and that's cultural appropriation. Even though the vikings had corn rows in their hair thousands of years before black American did.
It doesn't exist. It is just some made up, BS term some contrarians made up in the last 10 years or so to rile people up and to divide people. Dress however you want, wear whatever clothes you want. If you like clothes... etc. that another ethnic group made known... all the better. Who cares.

Good point lol
I don't blame you, it's a load of crap.

Is this connected with your work?
You are absolutely correct
No. Gaming stuff.

Yes. A discussion about this topic on the Onyx Path forums. But I get it now.
Cool

A large part of my heritage is Scottish and Scandanavian. People dress up like vikings all the time and I don't take offense.
You are completely right.
