Appropriateness in popular Culture

Sometimes, we encounter situations when a dominant group of people takes elements from a minority group's culture. This practice, which is known as cultural appropriation can result in feelings of disrespect in minority groups. For example, whether you wear a Native American headdress at a music festival or wearing blackface to Halloween, many Black people believe that it is an act of patronizing.

A dominant group can adopt elements of minority cultures. However, they could also utilize intellectual property of the minority group. Blackfishing is just one example. It is important to keep in mind that people with the color of their skin have a history of being marginalized and deprived of rights. For example, when you see a black person dressed in blackface for Halloween take into consideration the history of black people being excluded.
