Cultural appropriation is the act of one culture “incorporating” aspects of another culture into its own. This differs from  in which  or . In cultural appropriation, a dominant group assimilates aspects of a foreign culture without regard to their original use or intent. In other words, parts of one culture might be absorbed into another in insensitive, even offensive, ways, often for their perceived cool factor. Thus, we’ve seen white Millennials embrace Mexicos Dia de los Muertos, the popularization of sacred Maori symbols as tattoos, and the labeling of a clean, Asian-influenced interior design as “Zen-style.” Additionally, Black Americans have endured the absorption of their culture (cornrows, slang, etc.) for consumption in mainstream white culture, while American Indians are still routinely . Cultural appropriators often claim they are simply showing an appreciation for those culturesIm actually honoring that culture.
