Cultural appropriation is when you take something sacred or special and don't treat it with respect. Sombreros and parkas are just clothes.

Thanks for explaining. I never understood the American outrage about cultural appropriation but it's just about respecting sacred symbols from other cultures? Sounds about right, please feel free to dress as a Frenchman with beret and baguette as long as you respect our no-tipping policy.

Next item to discover on my list: why are Americans so upset about "black face". And that's what I witnessed in Sevilla (Spain) recently which did not seem racist to me at all: https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/01/05/polemica-espana-blackface-reyes-magos-trax/

The other comment explains most of it, but when it comes to acting specifically there’s also some level of “why didn’t you just get an actual black person”
