If u wanna know the difference between culture appropriation vs appreciation? Literally just look at what Angelina Jolie is doing —
Her visit to Pakistan? Everyone remember that?
Oh yeah, and she got a RIDICULOUSLY painful traditional tattoo from Thailand, done by monks like how it’s meant to be done.
And remember when she ate bugs in Cambodia while explaining that when Cambodians were starved of food, they relied on insects?
THIS is cultural appreciation
She isn’t doing it because she feels it’s fashionable, she is doing it because she really has a deep respect of diffrent cultures and their costumes.
She does research on what the traditions mean, where they come from and how to perform the properly.
