Cultural Appropriation: occurs when members of a dominant culture borrow
from the cultures of minority groups without their input. Typically those doing the
“borrowing,” or exploiting, lack a contextual understanding of what makes the cultural
symbols, art forms and modes of expression significant. Despite their ignorance of the
ethnic groups from which they borrow, members of the majority culture have frequently
profited from cultural exploitation.
