          Serious question.. if someone who was not born into a culture but admires that culture & acts in a respectful way, why can’t it be worn? Isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery? (I’m not asking to start anything, I’m genuinely curious. I love learning about other cultures)

          You can appriciate without appropriating.

          This happens a lot in weddings. If you’re invited to a wedding where traditionally ethnic garb might be worn, and someone of that culture invited you to shop with them to wear something of their culture - that’s cool! If not, just stick to your usual wedding attire. You know?

          Also, anytime I’ve traveled anywhere to visit places & people to learn about the native culture, they are overjoyed & love sharing their traditions, including garments to keep & wear myself after I’ve gone home.

          Its a lot different for people who live in their homelands where everyone looks like them vs ethnic minorities in America who are oppressed and often made fun of for their cultural garb

          Mindy, simply borrowing cultural apparel from a friend is not cultural appropriation. Don’t let fake outrage Twitter stop you from respectfully exercising your appreciation for other cultures’ garments.

          I want cultural appropriation, I want to see Japanese people wearing Dashikis. I want to see chopsticks used in Sweden. People doing smudging ceremonies in Thailand. The sharing of cultures and traditions helps bridge gaps and dissolve boundaries. Without it we would be stuck.

          “If it wasn’t cultural appropriation...” I’m sure you don’t realize how many cultures you’ve “appropriated.” It’s okay. It literally makes other cultures better.
