So when 'the west' ignore things from other nations we're sidelining them and destroying their heritage. But if we take an interest in their culture and take it on board, it's cultural appropriation? What are we supposed to do. Say how great X is without ever doing X?

What parts of my own culture am I even allowed to partake in because most of it comes from elsewhere.

Can't you just be happy that cultures can take things from other cultures and make it their own and gain a bit of understanding about the former in the process, rather than make it into a culture war.
