If you want to make cultural appropriation illegal, then you are going to have to stop appropriating MY culture, Ms Osei-Tutu.
I see you're in Miami. You will have to give up air conditioning. Your use of it is appropriating the works of European-American culture.
Best get used to walking too. Cars, trains, buses, trucks and planes are all Western Civilization inventions.
Don't use the sidewalks or streets. Concrete and asphalt are European and American, respectively.
The University you teach at is a product of Western Civilization and allowing you to have a prominent place in such an institution is also a Western Civ idea.
How about voting? You're not only a woman, but a minority. Where else, but by appropriating American culture could you have done that?
How about being a person instead of property?
But, let's not even go there.
Cultures in contact adopt what they like from each other.
Always have, and they always will.
Things get changed and relabeled constantly.
It's not a sign of disrespect. It's not bigoted.
It just is.
It's stupid to try and stop it, and fruitless.
