“doesn't respect their original meaning or give credit to their source.” See I can pick parts of a random definition off google the same way you do. Have you heard of “beer yoga”? Or “goat yoga”? It’s the very definition of disrespectful of the original meaning etc. I’m guessing not, but feel free to be entitled to your opinion, it’s a free country after all

> See I can pick parts of a random definition off google the same way you do. I shared the whole definition I found from the first result returned to me[1], and I didn't use Google. If you have a better definition then I would suggest that a better response would've been to share it instead of falsely accusing others of mistakes only you have made.

  Uh ok, Bing/DDG whatever, that's an odd thing to nitpick. I'm not sure who is accusing whom of what, I just pointed out that the definition YOU found from wherever, has the exact phrase I alluded to above. The phrase I quoted specifically says why this could be seen as cultural appropriation, but you seem to be intent on arguing semantics of words and nitpicking so I'm not really sure what your goal is here.

    > Bing/DDG whatever, that's an odd thing to nitpick Actually, it serves as an easy way to display how little your claim resembles reality, because it underlines how zero of what you wrote is correct. > I'm not sure who is accusing whom of what Have you considered reading the thread you’re commenting in and not wasting the time of others? > I'm not really sure what your goal is here. If you want to claim that it’s cultural appropriation then the definition matters. If the definition doesn’t matter then neither does the claim, and it would serve only as one more meaningless pejorative in the service of ad hominem that does nothing to advance the conversation. Which, as far as I can tell, is the whole purpose of “cultural appropriation” as a concept.
