Honestly the people who confuse honest cultural imitation or fusion with appropriation aren’t thinking critically about what harm is being done.

American exceptionalism produces a lot of these false positive responses, which is super annoying because it’s a real problem with economic consequences.

E.g. dreads is an ancient hairstyle for different ethnicities, cf. any sadhu, and no one is getting rich off of it.
