is it offensive?

from a food pov maybe

joking aside cultural appropriation doesn't necessarily mean that the end product is offensive outside of the appropriation. food is iffy, though, imo it's mostly a problem when you see a person or business from outside of the relevant food culture try and present themselves as an authority and benefit economically without any ties to the originating culture

I once had an argument about the use of san pedro cactuses to get high, the annoying person I was arguing with claimed that since they're used in a sacred ritual, that it's wrong to get high in your living room with them. I don't agree with her. thank god I left that part of twitter.

ironically i'm sure she was a wealthy white liberal, too

im not really an expert but i find it pretty hard to get offended by other cultures “stealing” american culture or even making fun of americans directly. there’s probably a power component to it, like there is in racism, where the dominant side of the relationship has a lot more ability to inflict pain and suffering. and well, western european and specifically american culture is dominant in the world right now

spot on, it's pretty difficult to make a case for appropriating a dominant culture that actively works to export their culture and value system around the world
