Absolute fiction.
Not only that, locals only have the US to blame for it. The US music industry spent six decades exporting our pop culture and music, our acts and labels made untold BILLIONS selling pop culture and music to every shi*hole country on earth. Now after making all this money, you wanna tell the people that bought American pop culture and music, that turned into massive fans of hip hop, RnB, and rap, that they're the wrong race to put on dreads or wear a durag? lol screw that. Too late for that already, if you didnt want foreigners idolizing American hip hop culture, you shouldnt have crammed it into their schools for two generations straight.
People can wear whatever the fuck they wanna wear as an aesthetic/fashion statement as long as they're not mocking/insulting/demeaning others.

Very ignorant. If you´re not black you have zero room to talk. Hiphop culture was made from slavery. How white people took Africans from their home countries and beat them, sold them, killed them, and separated them from their families. You don´t know the pain of being a slave, being sold, having to braid your hair or put them in cornrows because your owner wouldn´t let you do your hair. You know nothing about having to hide tiny pieces of rice grains in your cornrows just to survive. You know nothing about having to go to a new country against your will and being used as labor for white people. You know nothing about slavery ending, thinking you have freedom, only to have your hope taken away from you as white law makers made laws against black people and white people even drinking from the same fountain, or riding together on a public bus. You know nothing of the hate crimes black Americans get every single day, you know nothing of the racial stereotyping we get just for being black. People think we´re dirty or we´re angry, or violent. You know nothing about black people creating RnB, HipHop, Rap, and Rock to vent out our frustrations that instead of trying to understand, people just decide to be racist and downplay it because they hate us. Black people wore durags to protect their hair. Black people wore their hair in dreads because they couldn´t do it. If you haven´t went through any of this, you can not talk over the people that have. It´s just bigotry at this point. You can´t tell me that I have to suck it up and let other´s use my culture as an aesthetic cause some rich people made even more money. Have you ever been mocked for your dark skin? Or your curly hair? Do you know anything about having to make a whole new culture for yourself cause after all those years of slavery, you had nothing left? Didn´t think so. Them using our centuries of oppression IS mocking and demeaning. You have no right to tell me what I can and can´t say is or isn´t offensive because you´re not black. Do your research before you type

yes exactly

It may be a thing in the U.S, but it's not a thing where I live, since almost every colonized and colonizer culture was mixed in my country's historic process (well, at least in the side of the country I live). The problem here is racism itself, not cultural stuff.

Where I live, it's a honor to our heritage tbh. Idk if it's like this here since everyone is mixed race (I'm considered white here, but I'm heavily mixed race, for example), and black, native south american, European and jewish culture got mixed through our 500 years and created our own culture. For sure this process involved suffering from the colonized side, but celebrating our culture and how mixed it is ended up as a way to show honor to our heritage.
Just telling this 'because every country has its own history and the planet doesn't revolves to the American reality.

I am also mixed race. My great great grandma (on my moms side) was white, my mom is black, my dad is Mexican, one of my great great parents (on my dads side idk which one) was Native American and they were in a tribe cant remember the name but it started with a T. Where Im from we never got a real chance to mix cultures due to racism, slavery, and ignorance. White colonizers came to America from Europe stole the Natives land, killed them, then stole Africans from their country and made them into slaves and even considered them as property rather than people. Due to all of that, white people that were born in America were basically taught that white is the best and everything else doesnt belong. Idk about you but if someone did all of that to me and passed laws basically saying Im property and that I dont have basic human rights, I wouldnt wanna be all, ¨friends to the end!! Here you can wear my culture!!¨ A lot of people do it and know its disrespectful but they dont have the decency to care
Plus obviously America doesnt have a culture so its not necessarily an American problem. Its just a lot of Americans do it to other cultures and dont care. Its so normalized to see a white woman on the streets with dreads but if a black woman were to wear dreads (her cultural hair) it would be seen as dirty or unprofessional.
