I don’t eat at restaurants for fear that my enjoyment of ethnic cuisine will prompt ridicule and outrage. Who am I to understand the cultural nuance and meaning behind these dishes? So cavalier and insensitive to think I’m entitled to appreciate food as simply that. And I wouldn’t dare reproduce any of it in my kitchen at home unless it’s under the careful supervision and guidance of a real cultural authority.

It's clear that cultural appropriation is, itself, an appropriation of the military concept of 'stolen valor.' It is therefore inextricably tied to colonialism and should be avoided.
