Cultural appropriation is such a strange issue. It’s obvious to me that wearing someone’s culture as a costume is fucked up… And it’s pretty obvious too I think that opening a restaurant selling food from overseas is almost always cultural exchange… I don’t really think you can open a restaurant without a solid understanding of the food you’re making (quite unlike putting on a headdress and getting hammered on Halloween)… Somewhere in between there’s a line, perhaps, but I have absolutely no idea where it is. White people with dreads is in there somewhere, no one seems to agree on it, personally I think it’s pretty far removed from its origins and is basically a white hippy thing in it’s own right, regardless of how it began, but I know a lot of people disagree.
