How and when is it considered wrong? Pt1

Ok, so we've established that the fact of the cultural appropriation thing means a much more dominant group appropriating clothes from a minority group. It seems that most of the times those who are under fire for cultural appropriating are white people. So, in this post, I would like to know that is it still considered cultural appropriation if people of color get a "pass" when they appropriate others? Is it ok for one minority group to appropriate another minority group's culture? I mean, it could be like they're "sharing" one another's culture.

 In Malaysia, you could see Indians and Chinese wearing Saree's or Baju Kurungs during a wedding or an event instead of their own traditional clothing. A Chinese wearing an Indian's traditional clothes.. doesn't that count as cultural appropriation? An annual dinner with the theme "Bollywood Night", attendees are required to dress for the theme. Does that count as cultural appropriation as well? But, to me, I feel that these themed parties could be cultural appreciation, it's kinda like in a form of compliment? a celebration of your culture? It's like "oh hey, we like your culture a lot so we're gonna host a certain theme party that involves food and clothing from your culture!". What do you think? Are culturally themed parties justified?

Cultural Appropriation

Cultural appropriation involves a dominant cultural group borrowing from minority groups and exploiting their culture usually through fashion, music, dance, and movies. It is not uncommon these days to find fashion brands looking for inspirations from every culture and churning out new clothing lines, Caucasian singers imitating African/American singers in rapping, hip-hop and soul music. When these dominant group culturally appropriate, they're seen as creative, edgy and stylish while the groups where the style originated from are being shamed for it. One excellent example is cornrows. When a Caucasian person does cornrows in their hair, they're praised for looking cool and chic however when a black person does it, they are discriminated and referred to as 'ghetto'. "Ghetto" is a derogatory term used towards individuals who lack the standards of manners and ethics. (Why Minorities Hate Cultural Appropriation, 2017) Cornrow Braiding origin...

Culturally appropriating tattoos.

A few days ago, a friend of mine from Slovenia sent me a picture of his friend's tattoo which was written in Chinese and asking me for translation.  So I told her that the top letter is 美 as in beautiful/pretty and the bottom one is 爱 which means love. She was actually hoping that it meant hooker or something else. Well, sorry to disappoint her it actually meant beautiful love. So while translating it for her I was thinking to myself why would someone get a tattoo in another language if they don't even understand it. A Slovenian guy getting a Chinese tattoo, seems a bit weird isn't it?  Does that count as cultural appropriation?  This issue becomes even more complicated when the tattoos themselves are tied into your own spirituality, either with the actual symbols or with what those symbols represent. It is important to understand how these can be harmful and appropriative in many cases. (Coles, 2016) Tattoos of Asian deities, the Buddha, Calaveras , Nativ...
