        Cultural appropriation or cultural apartheid is an idea intended to keep the races and cultures pure. Contamination of the dominant culture by external influences must be rejected at all costs. Used extensively by the South Africans the idea fell into disrepute until revived by SJWs.

          taking aspects from a minority culture, for its aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person borrowing. people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.

              The act of contaminating white culture with outside influences.
              Proponents of this term demand that customs, practices or traditions that originated in a non-white culture be kept out of it.
              Increasingly, the term is used to purge non-white culture altogether.
