talkpolitics | Let's talk about cultural appropriation

On-topic I guess.
I've had discussions with some people about cultural appropriation and cultural exchange as a whole, but many seem to think it's a twisted ideology and doesn't necessarily make sense.

I hold my belief that cultural appropriation goes unnoticed and well, is bad.

Do you think it exists?
Are there limits?

My take on the matter: If someone is mocking a culture, using it as a costume or using it without understanding the meaning, I get how that is offensive.

When someone does their hair a certain way because they think it’s beautiful, that's cultural appreciation.
When someone eats food from another culture, that’s cultural appreciation.
When someone wears clothes from another culture in the right context, that's cultural appreciation.

The intent and the context are important, this isn't a clear-cut right or wrong. Though some people police it to a ridiculous extent, wanting to keep white people in a box to be preserved as far away from any other culture. God forbid people share good things with people different from them.
