Serious question about cultural appropriation. What is it? Like, I wear non la, or Asian conical hat when I go fishing. The reason is because I hike through thick brush to get to spots where nobody else goes. Those hats allow me to tip my head forward, and it pushes the brush to the side as I walk through without getting hung in the branches. It helps to keep parasites out of my hair.
It’s a superior design to a normal sun hat for what I do. Is that cultural appropriation? Or, is it only cultural appropriation if it’s disrespectful? But if it’s only when you’re being disrespectful. Then what about people that view just the very act of wearing or using something from a different culture as disrespectful?
Thing is with cultural appropriation oh yes there's Chinatown oh and also people from China happened to live in Chinatown that's cultural appropriation it doesn't really matter who or what has a culture it is the freedom of speech to be able to poo on it and turn it into whatever now that may be cringe but cringe is part of the internet
