We need to think very seriously about how we level an accusation like "cultural appropriation."

It is a legitimate concern if the cultural element in question has a negative consequence or cost of some kind.

By that I mean it has been glaringly recontextualised, trivialised, mocked and/or -- probably most importantly -- leveraged to make a profit to benefit someone not of that culture.

To be clear, cooking and appreciating food from a different culture does *not* qualify as appropriation.

@sumpnlikefaith who is the “we” in this statement supposed to be?

@BBChurch The "we" in this case is a wide-open invitation.
