cultural appropriation

taking aspects from a minority culture, for it's aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person "borrowing". people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.
