Is this culture appropriation?

[Anonymous]

I am half indian and half Irish

I am very fair and like to tan or wear fake tan so I can look more indian

[4ngelic]

its a bit weird to try to look more indian unless you live in india and want to blend in, but in itself its not cultural appropriation cos you're indian

[heavymetalbrotha]

Nah you're 50 50 I take it so it's not like it's so watered down that it comes off as reaching.

No my mother is brown. I do have her facial features mainly its just my skin is so fair. I look Italian, albanian or Greek but with fake tan I look mexican or latino or even part Indonesian

Well that's what people think

[boggboss]

No maybe a splash of self hatred but wouldn't day its culture appropriation

[Asker]

Self hatred? I want to look more indian. I look white with a little something and when I wear fake tan I look more mixed

[boggboss]

Yes u dislike or hate the colour of your skin so fake tan to make it look like u are different

No, it ain’t, as You’re Indian. One cannot commit cultural appropriation on their own culture.

The whole term "cultural appropriation" is nonsense. Do what you want.
