Help[Opinions] Re: “Cultural appropriation”
in reply to a message by summitseeker
Cultural appropriation:
Denigrating or degrading a culture, then using its traditions because they are cool.
IE
People rolling their eyes when a black person uses an African name or referring to it as "creative" or "made up" but applauding a white woman for doing so.

I am African-American. I don’t judge other black people for using African or even invented names. There’s no double standard from me.

I agree with you.
You can have a personal taste about names but nobody would be able to decide why you choose a name. And what you said about these trends are very bad.
