What's cultural appropiation? I don't undestand it.?

I'm from Spain and I'm use to live in a multicultural environment. In my family and friends circle are people from different religions, nacionalities and ethnic groups. I have always think that learn from other cultures and take some of their customs makes us rich. A few years ago a friend told me about cultural appropiation but I never undestand what it means, because any kind of interest in other's culture is great for me.

    Cultural appropriation is when one group of people think that THEY have exclusive rights to some style or affectation. A recent example in the news would be blacks getting all warped out of shape because a "white" woman wears her hair in cornrows.

    It is a manufactured issue created by the Left so they can generate more issues about which to be "outraged". The objective is to motivate certain minorities to vote leftist.

    For example, the Left in 2016 created the issue of which restrooms trans gender people should use to motivate gays in the USA to vote for Hillary Clinton.
