"Cultural appropriation" as a negative thing is such a ridiculous concept. What kind of people take that seriously?
What can there be to be offended about?
And the very concept is incredibly damaging to global society as a whole and xenophobic. Seriously, what if we Americans said that you can't have any of our culture to the rest of the world? What if cultures didn't take what was good from other cultures to improve on their own? If cultural appropriation were taken seriously, we'd still be in the feudal era and warring with one another.
Taking what works in other cultures and improving from it is what makes the world great. Proof of this is the best cuisine in the world is French Vietnamese. With cultural appropriation, then this incredible cuisine would have never come to fruition.

It's a very xenophobic concept but it's also impossible. People share cultural values, foods, ideas, etc just by encountering one another. As long as diverse people are on this planet, you will always have cultural assimilation. These SJW's are living in a world that never has and never will exist.
