Appropriateness in popular culture
Oftentimes, we see cases when a dominant group of people adopts elements from a minority group's culture. This practice, also known as cultural appropriation can cause disdain from members of minority groups. Many Black people consider this patronizing behavior, whether it's wearing an Native American headdress to a music festival or wearing blackface for Halloween.
In addition to incorporating elements of cultures that are not native to the minority the dominant group may also use intellectual property from the minority group. Blackfishing is one example. It is important to keep in mind that people with different skin tones have a history of being excluded and marginalized. For instance, if you see a person of color wearing a costume of blackface, you should consider the history of black people being excluded.
