What do you call it when a more powerful group takes a symbol that has meaning to a less powerful group, and decides to make it mean something else so they don't have to deal with the old idea? Like Easter is now seen as a Christian holiday

it seems like you might be concerned with discrete cases of people being assholes, which I agree are bad! but the "cultural appropriation" meme is in practice a sledgehammer applied to a problem that might be better excised with a lancet or a simple entreaty to not be a dick
