I'm all for making fun of the phrase "cultural appropriation" until it becomes irrelevant.

    It's possible to both be very progressive and also think the term cultural appropriation is generally misused to the point of being useless/meaningless & also cringe at race based humor.

    Generally misused doesn't mean its not a meaningful pattern of harm. Loosing the ability to talk about that pattern of harm isnt a good thing, the term is useful even if people misuse it

    I’ve probably seen 500 instances of accusations of appropriation and I’ve seen maybe 4-5 of that were were actually real appropriation and real harm.

    It’s an internet buzzword. The pattern is real but the internet zeitgeist around it is rage bait BS.
