Have you been under a rock for the last few years? WTF dude[You should be ashamed of yourself. But won't be.
There is no problem with anyone appropriating anyone else's culture, as long as they do not call it their own, as if they had originated it . Do you also have a problem with black women straightening their hair?]
Inspired by celebrities including FKA twigs and Zoe Kravitz, braids like Jennerās are gaining popularity across ethnicities. They have been a festival favourite this year, with the back-from-the-forehead cornrow particularly popular. Iām white, and I had my hair braided for the Guardian earlier this year by Keash, a braiding service set up by school friends Taiba Akhuetie, 25, and Jessy Linton, 24.
Akhuetie, whose mother is Nigerian, said she liked the idea of these styles going across races and ethnicities, despite some negative comments from black people. While she is frustrated that braiding might be seen as a trend, rather than something here to stay, she says: āIf other people want to appropriate the style, I think thatās a good thing.ā She compares white women braiding their hair to the now-commonplace fashion for black women to wear weaves to give the effect of straight, caucasian hair. āNow no one thinks about that,ā she says. āHair is political, definitely, but I hope we get to a point when thereās no segregation.ā
Stenberg, who posted a video about cultural appropriation of hairstyles on YouTube earlier this year entitled Donāt Cash Crop On My Cornrows, might have her work cut out campaigning against other non-black women having their hair braided. Kenya Hunt of Elle UK, who regularly writes about black beauty, praises Stenberg as a āreally bright young voiceā, but says: āI think when it comes to conversations about race and cultural appropriation, we need to pick our battles. Weāre seeing people burn down black churches in America right now, people killing young black women and men because of the colour of their skin. Kylie Jennerās cornrows that she wore for hours? That doesnāt strike me as the battle we need to have.ā

Bull shit. Some minority members cry "cultural appropriation" for anyone adopting ANYTHING that they think belongs to them: article of clothing, hairstyle, etc. Wasn't there an uproar a few years ago about an Italian model eating Italian food with chopsticks?
It used to be that all kids were allowed to dress up and pretend to be somebody or something they were not whether that be cowboys or Indians or Obama or Trump or whatever and dress in cultural dress and enjoy traditions of any culture. But according the the 'woke' left, much of that is now 'cultural appropriation' and it is not politically correct, in fact is too often labeled RACIST!!!!![You should be ashamed of yourself. But won't be.
