My first encounter with the concept of cultural appropriation (without knowing the word at the time) was when I saw my boomer Chinese dad get mad at the fact that there was unlicensed Walmart(a mall that decided to name itself Walmart for whatever reason) in China that had a KFC inside(inauthentic appropriation of burgerland culture) and not Mcdonald's (authentic).
