Cultural appropriation: the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture

I came here specifically for this comment.

[@ManChan-w5p]

Can an oriental make soul food? If there is a profit, is it cultural appropriation?

[@TM-gd2yt]

it would be cultural appropriation if she claimed it wasn't ramen and called it Noodle Broth Dish...nice try tho

[@ManChan-w5p]

@@TM-gd2yt Ok thanks for the clarification. So next time I deep fry chicken I got to wear a pair of air Jordan?

[@TM-gd2yt]

For all the annoying comments ..no it's not cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation: the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture Cultural appropriation is the inappropriate or unacknowledged adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. This can be especially controversial when members of a dominant culture appropriate from minority cultures.
