  • When does something go from being "sharing of culture" to cultural misappropriation?

    Such as, a white person shouldn't wear African hairstyles, but what about St. Patrick's Day for people who don't have Irish blood in them nor are they Catholic? Or Mardi Gras celebrations outside of New Orleans, like why over-eat or make a big celebration out of a holiday for Lenten-observing Christians if you won't be abstaining from something during Lent? Are these examples of cultural misappropriation? Or using a Catholic crucifix as a fashion statement if one isn't Catholic? Or hanging up a painting of Mary in a bar by owners who aren't Christian?

    Sorry to come across as a religious fanatic, but no one cares about how this hurts people who practice their religion.
