Just want to make sure we're covering all the bases

    I've seen some people talk about how García Lorca "appropiated" roma culture because he was infatuated with it and wrote several plays and poems about it. That's insane. Yes, the gay poet who was murdered by the fascists did "cultural appropiation". Who cares.

    I mean, it's kind of like "only minority can write about X minority, but also authors need to write about X minority and add diversity".

    What i'm trying to say is that yes, cultural appropiation can be a bit difficult to define, which is why i'm more comfortable with:

    "Does this offend a big part of X minority? Do they even care? Was it accurately portrayed?"
