That's ridiculous. People should be able to wear their hair any way they want.
shareWatch her apologize for it. Should make a post on IG any minute now...
shareFrom google:
"Cultural appropriation can be defined as the “cherry picking” or selecting of certain aspects of a culture, and ignoring their original significance for the purpose of belittling it as a trend. Cultural Appreciation is honoring and respecting another culture and its practices, as a way to gain knowledge and understanding."
Seems like a fine line between the two. *shrugs shoulders*
I have never understood the way people use the term 'cultural appropriation.' Most instances I've seen seemed to me to be cultural appreciation. I don't really get why wearing your hair in the same style is belittling. If you were doing it to make fun of them, yes. Like the old skits with people wearing black face and exaggerating and mocking the way people talk, yes, that's mean. But, "Oooh, I like the way she does her hair. I'm going to fix mine that way," doesn't seem like belittling to me.
