Something that it seems only certain people in the United States and United Kingdom seem to care about. In the rest of the world they’d just look at you with incredulity if you bring it up.

For a start, who exactly “owns” a culture and therefore who can say/claim that something is being appropriated? If people use the term to mean financially profiting off another culture then where does that end? I’ve eaten in plenty of restaurants in Japan that serves different kinds of western or western inspired foods. Should they not be operating?

It seems to me far more about far left hand-wringing and virtue signaling than anything serious.
