what is culture appropriation
This is an honest question, I'm not trying to troll or anything. I have tried searching it up, but all I get are different things on what it is.
One person is saying when only a white person does something like wear a kimono or have dreads, another person said its when you claim someone else's culture as your own, another person said its when you're part of a culture that your race/ethnicity isn't common to, and someone else said a similar thing to that except it more along the lines of "you're not allowed to be part of a culture that isn't your skin color".
I'm honestly just confused on what culture appropriation is and when I've asked people question about it they never answer it?
I don't mean to ask these questions in a rude way, but out of actual curiosity. I've heard certain Halloween costumes is appropriation, but it seems more just like a stereotype to me?
For example, as someone who's Asian, what if I dressed up for Halloween in those stereotypical Asian costumes? Would it still apparently be considered culture appropriation? And how is wearing a certain hairstyle appropriation?
I'm sorry if this post is too long or comes off as rude, but I need someone to clarify these things for me please 😭
