Important Question

b-e-k-a-h:

Does it count as cultural appropriation if I wear something given to me from a member of that culture (if I wear it when I’m not around that member)?

Cultural appropriation, In my opinion, is a load of horse manure, at most times. No you are not appropriating because a) she gave it to you, as a gift, Intended to be worn, b) it’s a damn shirt, not some cultural religious heirloom and c) you’re not doing it to caricature or impersonate their culture. It’s an actual piece of culture, freely given, and you have just as much right to use it as anyone.
