Cultural appropriation is a term we throw around a lot, but does borrowing elements from another culture actually cause real harm? I grew up in Mexico, and when I see foreigners wearing traditional embroidered dresses without knowing the meaning behind the patterns, it doesn't feel like an attack — more like a missed opportunity for deeper understanding. Still, my friend from a marginalized community says it erases their history and reduces it to fashion. Are we over-policing cultural exchange, or is there a line that shouldn't be crossed? I'm honestly torn between respecting identity and celebrating openness.
