As a white person, am I allowed to pick up something from another culture if I think that the culture is “on par” with me?

Or is the “on par” piece completely made up and just assumed to not be the case?

You think the fact the native americans are poorest people with lowest life expectancy is made up ?

yes your fellow compatriot belonging to poorest class of people for belonging to a particular group of people should be a good hint. Like i said its really simple. People trying over complicate this or trying to find gotchas are being disingenuous.

as a white person, your culture is defined by taking things from others (e.g., the english language is a melange of many languages).

therefore, it is cultural appropriation to adopt cultural appropriation as a perjorative

As a white person of only partial English descent, that's not my definition of my culture.

try to find purity in an american rendition of northwestern european culture. language, holy days, vakue systems--all are taken from elsewhere. lmk what you find. I'll wait until St Paddy's day to find you crying in your green beer...
