I've never seen any coherent account of how 'cultural appropriation' boundaries or rules could work that would not have many regressive implications. Useful example of how some assumptions of current US race discourse have little purchase with race equality advocates in the UK. https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1300413774126551040

I am v sceptical of usefulness of this concept. At most, one could make qualitative comments on spirit of cultural exchange & maybe £. All attempts to police boundaries by self-appointed arbiters fail on essentialist principle, pluralism (disagreement) + impossibility in practice

a previous discussion of this here

This Indian nationalist objection to cricket as fundamentally un-Indian could perhaps be combined with an English objection to its adoption/appropriation by India.

This type of concept may seem more plausible + popular with more social segregation between distinct groups + high 'social distance' . It becomes much less plausible if there is sustained interaction, esp over 2-3 generations, so group + cultural boundaries become much fuzzier

Several sociological drivers for contrasting UK/US perspectives. Eg British Black Caribbean rates of inter-ethnic relationships approx four times as high as for Black Americans. Both a symptom of less social distance + a cause of fuzzier group boundaries https://twitter.com/sundersays/status/1284105265047121920?s=19
