So why do aboriginals play guitar, oh. hangon, they invented the guitar, and the drums and the keyboard and the synthesizer and, oh Aussie Rules. Have I mistaken this thread?
I play the Didge and don't need anyones permission to do so. I can carve my own. So? I was taught by aboriginals and I am not a white devil, I am Tjungala.
No one has appropriated the Didge much less than the Stradivari.
Where do you peeps dig this crap from? Oh,,,your minds...you are insulting a race.
kind regards,

The proper response and point I believe the OP to be making is that you can not appropriate culture. If you could then everyone is a racist. Well those that live in the modern world anyway.
Cultural appropriation is BS and a tool that is being used. At least to some effect.

Give back modern medicine and technology and I'll stop appropriating until then
Trolololol
Cultural appropriation is often considered harmful, and to be a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating, minority cultures, notably indigenous cultures and those living under colonial rule.[2][6][7] Often unavoidable when multiple cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using other cultures' cultural and religious traditions, fashion, symbols, language, and music.
Cultural appropriation is the act of adopting elements of an outside, often minority culture, including knowledge, practices, and symbols, without understanding or respecting the original culture and context.

First I think it needs to be noted that the OP is complete satire, yea?
Cultural appropriation, by all notable standards is needed, if any culture wished to increase in size and/or progress. In recent years it has been turned into something bastardized with negative connotations abound. This recent change has been used as a divisive tool rather than the inclusive tool it was standardized as.
