pretty much. I don't like the term/concept of cultural appropriation so it
doesn't bother me, but yeah. People of all races and cultures dress up like American patriots and act out various American culturisms but twisting it to fit a hip hop culture. I had the thought, if a Black person can play George Washington and rap as Thomas Jefferson, why can't a white person act in The Color Purple (saw a clip from that play is why it was on my mind.).

I'm on the side of appropriation/schmoppriation. Let people act out and enjoy whatever culture they want to as long as it isn't overtly mocking it. But the standard should definitely apply both directions.
