More like cultural inappopriation really

I was listening to the radio the other day
and this mixed race bloke described being told that he didn't look mixed race as "cultural theft."

On the one hand, it must be upsetting to be a thing and to be told by ignorant cunts that you're not a thing.

On the other hand, even if his ethnic identity is denied by cunts, he's still got his culture, nobody's stolen it.

I guess I just disagree with anyone who says their stuff has been stolen, if they actually still have all their stuff.

How has anyone ‘got’ a culture? What does that mean?

I think a lot of the 'cultural appropriation' stuff is started by unflexible thinkers who want us all to fit neatly into our little boxes.
But to answer your question, your culture is the sum of the norms and values that you share with your community.
