Sure. It's when you take something that defines the culture that you're not a part of and profit off of it. The fashion industry does it all the time. They take from black culture, Native Americans, Asia, you name it. I mean, the models even appropriate their body dimensions from the aliens in Close Encounters.
Yeah, that's true. Not every person who listens to rap or wears a kimono or sings the chorus to Despacito is trying to steal someone else's culture.

Well, you can definitely sing it, because you know you look like a Puerto Rican. Hola. But sometimes it crosses the line. Like when you get movies about white boys saving jazz or Miley Cyrus twerking, ugh. Hell, cultural appropriation is the only thing Taylor and Katy can agree on.

Because, Trevor, it's when white people discover something that used to be considered ghetto. For example, look at Big Butts.

Thank you. Big butts used to be considered undesirable, but since the Kardashians bought all of theirs, now everybody wants one. Ooh, and don't get me started on dreadlocks. When black people have them, they're discriminated against. They even get fired over it. But when white people have them, clothes fly off the racks. Look at this, this is a fashion show or is she an avatar?

Okay, now, Trevor, Beyoncé is a bad example because she's a literal goddess. Come on. Forget culture, if Beyonce stole my identity, I wouldn't even press charges. I'd be like, thank you! It's an honor, here's my pin number, Beyonce! Look, Trevor, this is about equality. If minorities were equal, they wouldn't worry about people taking their culture because that wouldn't be all they have.

Look, white people, if you're going to appropriate, take everything. Take the good and the bad. You can take my struggle, too. Get pulled over for no reason, get followed through a store, and the next time there's a Black Lives Matter march, I want to see you there, Kendall. But don't worry about bringing that Pepsi, girl. We drink Sprite.
