Anti-cultural appropriation is disguised segragation.
I spent a lot of time typing and retyping, because i had a hard time getting my thoughts out in a complete way. Also i was trying to avoiding accidently sounding racist... Cultures are made to be shared and celebrated. By partaking in a culture that is not your own, you are paying respect to that culture. (There are always some exceptions) However to say i cant put my hair in corn rows because i am not black, is saying corn rows are for blacks only. Which sounds a lot like, "these water fountains are for whites only." Saying someone cant do something because they arent the right race/ethnicity/skin color is literally the definition of racial discrimination. Its just pointless rules that keep everyone separated and their own boxes. Any thoughts?

There is a difference between cultural appreciation and cultural appropriation. The problem with appropriation is that we white people can get away with doing a lot of things that originate in different cultures, but people from those cultures get treated negatively for doing the same things. I agree that we want to share in some of the cultural aspects as a form of celebration, but when they themselves no longer get to celebrate it because of other people being prejudiced, it's my opinion that the respectful thing to do is to just let them have it.
