Quote: \\\"cultural appropriation [...] is when a member of one culture takes on some of the trappings of another culture\\\".
In my opinion and according to the linked Wikipedia article, cultural exchange only becomes appropriation when the dominant culture within a country borrows elements from lower-status cultures. When a Western person wears a sari or kimono, that\\\'s not cultural appropriation anymore than a Japanese sarariman wearing a suit and a tie.
Which means the case mentioned further down the article:
\\\"If the Cultural Appropriation is from a less-powerful culture to a more-powerful one [...]\\\"
...is, in fact, the only form of cultural exchange that qualifies as cultural appropriation. (And even that is not necessarily a problem unless culture A exploits or mocks culture B, or disrespects B by wearing symbols of social rank and status that have to be earned).
