This reminds me of a paper I wrote for a sociology class in college. Argue for or against assimilation. Like it or not, there is evidence that immigrants who assimilate better into American culture do better economically. Cultural appropriation is not wrong, it makes assimilation easier. Keeping cultures separate, and raising an uproar when whites (in most cases) take an aspect they like from a culture and use it, is counterproductive to assimilation. Since I prioritise economic prosperity, I had to argue for assimilation. It does follow that stopping cultural appropriation leaves de facto segregation in place. The melting pot is better when everyone melts into it.
