Engaging with and learning about different cultures is good. Taking elements of culture with a rich history (which often includes a history of oppression, sadly) and making like…. Like learning about Native American history, and spreading awareness we live on stolen land is good, but like, wearing a traditional navajo dress just for the sake of it is bad if you ar enot Navajo.

It’s like… imagine if years later, someone took the likeness of YOU, all your experience, stories, struggles, hopes, and dreams… and essentially reduced it to a halloween costume with NO significance.
