    'Cultural appropriation' only ever seems to work one way.

    Whitey paints dot painting: Scandal!
    Blackey does literally any form of art that has a background in the European tradition: Great job!

    On a similar note, have a read of this:
    https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/apr/14/screen-australia-study-finds-more-first-nations-characters-but-one-in-four-tv-shows-have-all-anglo-celtic-casts

    It takes an entirely hypocritical stance of criticising the alleged over-representation of white actors compared to percentage of population (erroneously, as they use 'Anglo-Celtic' as synonymous for 'White' thereby excluding a decent chunk of White Australians of non-British European ancestry in their citation of the census)

    While in the same breath celebrating the even greater over-representation of indigenous and LGBTetc actors, if they were to make the same census comparison they do for white people.
