I agree that it should be up to the appropriated culture. I’m not saying all you have to do is read a book. If you want to participate in another culture it takes a lot of work to learn and participate respectfully. And you’d probably have to do it up front rather than after the fact to justify yourself. For example: Eminem is respected as a rap artist because he apprenticed himself to the culture and celebrates it. He didn’t just try to make money off rap and learn a bit of history about it to justify doing so.
