Like I said in my reply to phoenixz, the term is overused and over-policed on the internet. Culture is meant to be shared.

But there is such a thing as cultural appropriation. Participating or celebrating a culture is fine. Naming your mascot “Chief Wahoo” is not.

I would call that a racist caricature, not cultural appropriation
