Moronic idea that takes guilt by association... And uses it to justify literally segregating culture by race. The concept is believed to come from Western academic circles, now it's widely used by anti-white nationalists as a way of gaining power.
Person A: Hey, don't use that word! You're white, so that's cultural appropriation on your part!
Person B: Wait, I though you guys supported racial equality. Now you're trying to gatekeep culture by race, blood and soil style. Would MLK be proud of you?
Person A: He would agree with us! You whites were oppressing us POC for so long! Now you're trying to steal our culture!
Person B: How do you even steal a culture? Do you, like, lose an access to words when I use them? And besides, what "you whites" are talking about? I for one did nothing against your people, I wasn't even around during the times of slavery. And even if I was, I would likely be a serf. I'm from Russia.
Person A: But if you'll come to US, you'll benefit from the racist system. So it's only fair to compensate for it in advance by treating you as an oppressor, limiting your right for self-expresson, and...
Person B: ...and this is why I'm not coming to US anytime soon. Not until you guys come to your senses.
