Sort of a reply to all that hopefully doesn't confuse what Dr. Honda was trying to explain. I saw an article that made cultural appropriation more of a real issue for me because it covered economy. If you buy a traditional Japanese kimono from a white seller/dress shop then wear it out for a night, you are taking from that culture and not giving anything back. If you are a tourist in Japan paying a Japanese photographer and/or dress maker, then you are giving back to that culture. If it's a tourist trap then you might be giving back quite a bit financially. You can indulge a little in a way that still supports the culture. Though, that wouldn't remove the need to be empathetic. Maybe don't brag about it, or if you do mention something like the photo shoot to someone and it makes them uncomfortable, really listen and learn why. The article Yoga as an example. If you want to enjoy Yoga, do so, but try to do it in a way that gives back to the culture. White people making a lot of money off of culturally appropriated things while the people who belong to that culture are treated badly, can't gain income, etc from their culture is part of the issue. It's another example of white people benefiting from inherent racism. Dreads on a white punk singer are cool, dreads on a black person are gross, things like that.

First of all, love the banter between you two and so far I haven’t felt any discomfort with your discussions and was unphased until it was pointed out. I think having these discussions are so helpful to understand and learn to be empathetic. However, I feel conflicted still...I am Mexican American and living in LA and I am lucky to be in a diverse city. I love when people embrace the beauty of different cultures, including mine and don’t mind at all when people wear or have some Mexican related items. I have friends with different cultures and love learning about their culture. I’m even sometimes envious that I don’t get to wear the beautiful multicultural dresses my friends wear to family’s weddings. Everyone should be proud of their culture, and I personally would be honored for anyone would try and embrace my culture by immersing themselves at my family parties. By all means drink tequila, eat the food, dance to our music, try to speak Spanish, my family loves when someone outside their culture does. I guess being conscientious or empathetic to how someone might react is ideal, but what if that holds them back and makes them scared to try and understand?
