Is cultural appropriation wrong ?

The definition we will be using here is : cultural appropriation is when one culture borrows elements from another culture. Here, we will specifically be concerned with the most controversial form of cultural appropriation: Namely, when members of a dominant or privileged class adopt elements of the culture of a historically oppressed class.

A world without cultural appropriation is a world with racial and cultural segregation.
