Does anyone else agree with Makavelli’s point that cultural appropriation and culturally unacceptable are one and the same? Like wearing an Indian costume/headdress is the same as teenaged girl wearing a sexy maid costume?
No. They are not. Cultural appropriation can fall under the umbrella of culturally unacceptable if it's done in bad taste like a racist caricature depending on the venue, but they are not the same.

Most culturally appropriated costumes I see are actually done in good taste and the person wearing them chose to dress so because they have some sort of appreciation for or enjoyment of it.

I know I don't get all butthurt (nor does anyone pretend to on my behalf) when people wear lenderhosen or something. No reason why anyone else should.

Thank you! I thought maybe my thinking was off today and I was missing something, because he was so insistent. Lol.

Who cares it's a costume for one night.


Lots of people dress up as white trash or hillbillies. None of those are done in good taste. Yet I don't hear anyone bitching
