Actually, I have a serious issue with this. I don’t care if the person did real research. I don’t care if they do know and understand the significance of the item/tattoo/whatever. IT IS STILL CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND IT IS STILL RACIST. If the significance of it does not include you then it is wrong for you to use it. No matter how much genuine knowledge you might have about it, it is still NOT YOURS TO TAKE.
