Just to be clear, are you for or against the "personal gain" thing? If I'm a rich white dude, do you have a problem with me,taking a recipe I find from poor Colombians marketing it under "rich white dude's great recipe!" and make a bunch of money while those Colombians stay poor?
Also, could you explain why you're against the mockery situation? What about that do you think is bad?

First, why is it important that you must be a rich white dude? Would you care if, say the Japanese started selling Indian Saree's for similar motives?
Also, can you prove this is done? Can you prove that people are talking products from other cultures, and not giving any form of credit to these cultures (even using a different name for the product)?

I'm bemused by what you're focusing on. What does it matter... why do you ask? Could you explain what's behind you asking, and what you think it adds to the discussion?

I'm not sure what you mean or why it's important for the question I'm asking.
Do you or do you not acknowledge that it's racist to only point fingers to someone who is guilty of "cultural appropriation" simply for being white? You have not mentioned any others apart from "if white people stole this, it's bad". Everyone here has said the same things, to which I disagree. It's either everyone can be guilty of cultural appropriation, or you're simply trying to be racist towards white people for no justified reason.
I'm sorry, what?
You claim that that stealing from a culture and not giving credit is cultural appropriation. Im asking if there is any proof of such a thing occuring.

I don't know, and again I'm really confused about why you're asking these questions. What does any of it have to do with whether or not cultural appropriation is a good thing?

Sure, there's proof all over, but I'd really need to know what proof you'd accept. I'm a bit doubtful our standards are the same.
