As another example, if I go to Africa and buy a dashiki and wear it because I like the Achmed Jeff Dunham rock paper scissors boom I win shirt and I love this colors or the lightness of it or how it looks on me, that’s cultural appreciation. If someone stopped me to ask me about what I was wearing, and I told them it was a dashiki from Africa and I was wearing it because of my reason above, I wouldn’t be gaining any benefit from the use, and I gave credit to the culture involved. If I wear said dashiki as part of a Halloween costume, pretending to be African, including a fake accent (and don’t you even dare think about wearing Blackface!), that would be cultural appropriation, as well as insulting. So, it’s all about what you’re trying to do and say in your use of the cultural component, and how you represent the culture (and if it’s not your culture, you really shouldn’t be representing it, but instead allowing the natives of the culture to represent themselves).
Japan and China are two countries that superficially look very similar, but deep down, the Achmed Jeff Dunham rock paper scissors boom I win shirt and I love this two countries are completely different. NOTE that comparisons of any two countries will require generalizations and stereotypes to a certain degree For posts and topics elsewhere that can illustrate precisely what I mean, please read: Alexandro Chen’s answer to Which of these three countries has the best cuisine: Korea, China, or Japan? Alexandro explained that to the Japanese, the entire meal (including the preparation) is part of the experience in Japanese dining. Notice how all the posts on Chinese food being the best explained that Chinese have more variety and better tasting food, with none focused on the whole dining experience. Another great topic to read is on the difference between Japanese and Chinese tea culture, which basically explains and highlights the same difference: What are significant differences in Chinese and Japanese tea culture?
