When differentiating between cultural exchange an cultural appropriation, this first and most important thing that you have to acknowledge is that it’s fucking complicated. While there are no hard-set rules about what isn’t appropriation, there are a lot of things that definitely are…

I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around cultural appropriation and its context in history and cultural assimilation. This might be the most clear explanation of cultural appropriation I’ve read so far. Maybe you’ll find it helpful, too.
