Cultural Appropriation facts
While investigating facts about Cultural Appropriation, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Village People's Native American (Felipe Rose) continued to dress in his usual costume despite festival bans on outfits guilty of 'cultural appropriation', as his father is Lakota Sioux
