This is another thing which puzzles me. Here are two pictures:
The euphemism would be
cultural appropriation. Or would it?
When you adopt traditional clothing from a different culture:
.tick
.box
YES • I am a boorish Philistine pig dog
NO • I can wear whatever I want to
THAT'S RACIST • Philistine society was actually quite refined
If foreign gents adopt traditional clothing from your culture:
.tick
.box
NO • of course not don't be ridiculous
YES • they are trying to steal your identity
MARX • demands the proletariat be free from diktat by imperialist overlords
Can you see my puzzlement? On the one hand we hear about cultural appropriation everywhere, from a hairdo (such as dreadlocks) to footwear (moccasins?) yet when visiting tropical islands they're flogging you grass skirts and garlands while wearing the latest gear from western surf shops. Who is appropriating whom?
