I live on a very mixed campus and a good chunk of whites and Asians have dreadlocks and no one cares here either; people have more important things to worry about I guess.

It's kind of an SJW thing. They think that if a white person wears/uses/does anything from a non-white culture it's cultural appropriation. For one, you'll notice that it only works when white people do it (ie. white person with dreadlocks is EVIL, black person in a kilt is a-ok (this type of hypocrisy goes hand in hand with the SJW-belief that "it's only racism if it's white on 'PoC'). Second, if you look at human history, we've been appropriating from each other since the Ancient times, that's why you have vases in Greece influenced by Egyptian style. The only to avoid this natural borrowing and sharing of cultures is to impose strict segregation.

Thank you for speaking your mind and giving me your opinion. I will take it into consideration as I try to think about my own opinions on the matter.

OMFG. Wrong.

"Cultural appropriation" is a term taken from anthropology. It is culturally-bound and it is not a judgmental term.

That is why motivations for cultural appropriation really do matter - is it done to disempower (dreadlocks as fashion vs. political statement, all of ancient Rome) or what?

There is no avoiding cultural appropriation but investigation of it keeps dominant cultures from extinguishing other cultures.
