They got the etymology wrong. There is no negative connotation.

  Same for "burry the hatchet". That's actually a beautiful and creative expression to resolve a situation into peace. Cultural appropriation is such a fucking dumb concept. It is a positive. It enriches all of us.

    All of human history involves "cultural appropriation", since cultures are shared and shaped as different groups interact over time. Very few human groups remain so isolated that they're not influenced or don't influence other cultures.

      Exactly. We can now eat the best foods from all over the world, enjoy music, stories, art, all of it. How very cynical and destructive does one have to be to police that? This movement is miserable.
