Is speaking a different language cultural appropriation?

Yes.
I think it’s ridiculous to attempt to talk to other people peacefully.

The best conversations are held with a lever action rifle, two shotguns and a revolver…that’s the international language EVERYONE understands.

I kid, I kid…Spanish and Mandarin would be good to know but I found I had very little talent for either:/

But I got a whole lot of hurt for anybody thinking they’re taking over my hills.

Only in communities where the language is perhaps viewed as sacred and so teaching it to outsiders is considered a closed practice, but those communities would be very obscure and likely unheard of by most. Otherwise, most people are excited and welcoming to anyone outside their country that can speak their language fluently. Ever watched Xiaomanyc on Youtube? The reactions to his language proficiency in multiple languages is overwhelmingly positive, he's even gotten free food because of it. Never seen a negative reaction to him ever.

Cultural appropriation doesn't exist! It's a made up thing on social media for folks to get upset about.

It should be called Cultural appreciation. You like it, therefore you adopt it. Doesn't mean you are trying to wipe out or take over anything. You just like the thing that this other culture does.

People have forgotten how to have their own opinions these days 😒
