"stop talking about the subject altogether" is the only way to address this bullshit. There is no such loving thing as cultural appropriation. There is only the marketplace of ideas. Yes people borrow and steal within that market, but the only thing that would be "appropriation"would be trying to pass off borrowed and stolen ideas as authentic and from the original source. As long as you acknowledge the origin you're doing nothing wrong.

Yeah if one group was actually appropriating another's culture under the proper definition, then they were probably also doing much, much, worse things to that group at the same time. Like, if you're being loving enslaved or colonized, not getting credit for your cultural contributions is the least of your worries.

Recent events have shown that polls should be ignored bigly.

Also a quick Google search comes up with objections on the methodology used.

Lol the position of the silent majority is what we should really be focusing on here

The Redskins are an obvious red herring (npi). There's an issue which actual native americans do care about these days.

The Cleveland Indians?
