An interesting piece. Languages (and their influences) travel across cultures and national borders freely. But apparently in this case someone's butt-hurt about words and phrases being used by other races/cultures?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

People need to stop being so offended.

Under that theory, anyone not of Anglo decent from the London region speaking or writing English is practicing cultural appropriation. Whoever dreamed up the whole notion of cultural appropriation needs a special torture along the lines of being beaten, covered in honey, and placed on an ant hill. It is a purposefully divisive tactic.

Additionally, the term “Sis” is from old line white Deep South culture long before it became part of black culture.
