\u201cCultural appropriation is the adoption or theft of icons, rituals, aesthetic standards, and behavior from one culture or subculture by another. It generally is applied when the subject culture is a minority culture or somehow subordinate in social, political, economic, or military status to the appropriating culture. This \u201cappropriation\u201d often occurs without any real understanding of why the original culture took part in these activities or the meanings behind these activities, often converting culturally significant artifacts, practices, and beliefs into \u201cmeaningless\u201d pop-culture or giving them a significance that is completely different\/less nuanced than they would originally have had.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
