I think we need to focus on food to break this cultural appropriation concept nonsense. Who here strictly likes food from their recent ancestry?
Nobody.
So what if we could only eat what was in our background?
I live in a heavily-populated Chinese area. It's a good thing I'm a health nut because I could stuff my face full of the authentic Chinese food that comes out of my neighborhood. Seriously, just sit there and eat until I explode.
In high school I had an Italian friend who was first generation American. His mom made a pizza...real pizza as she called it...not "American pizza" that could make you weak in the knees it was so good.
Damn, I gotta stop talking about food.
I'm of Irish family and; I can't stand corn beef and cabbage or, whiskey either. Gimme some GOOD "Mexican" food.
But the gene clusters aren't exclusive to a singular "race". That's why we can't make the genetic distinction.
I'm talking about "human genetic clustering", where the cluster equals the group.
Quote:
Genetic clustering studies, and particularly the five-cluster result published by Rosenberg's team in 2002, have been interpreted by journalist Nicholas Wade, evolutionary biologist Armand Marie Leroi, and others as demonstrating the biological reality of race. For Leroi, "Race is merely a shorthand that enables us to speak sensibly, though with no great precision, about genetic rather than cultural or political differences." He states that, "One could sort the world's population into 10, 100, perhaps 1,000 groups," and describes Europeans, Basques, Andaman Islanders, Ibos, and Castillians each as a "race".

I'm third generation Irish, second generation Italian and I have to say - the Irish cannot cook.
When was the last time you heard anyone ask for an Irish recipe? I'll eat boxty and pastie and bangers and mash, but even the corned beef and cabbage is bleh. Give me kosher corned beef any day of the week.

Reminds me of an old saying:
Hell is where the French are the engineers, the English are the chefs, and the lovers Americans.
This thread reminded me of a (white) girl at my job who wore a dashiki to work one day (several months ago). We are work "friends" so she shyly came up to me and admitted that she was afraid to wear her dashiki. I guess she was afraid of someone saying something to her. I told her that it was really cute and that she really had nothing to worry about. She has worn that dashiki several times to work since that conversation and I don't think that anyone has cared.

The black people are smart enough to know they won't win that battle in the office. But the majority of black people that I personally know, and myself would care. Just not enough to lose a job over. I mean know people don't want to appear like snowflakes around these forums, but I would care on my own time, not company time.
Those Black Irish chicks are smoking hot. We need more of them.
