[quote=Anonymous]Interesting to hear people's perspectives on this. Personally, I have and do borrow and find inspiration from several cultural traditions that are not "my own." When something form my culture is borrowed by a well-intentioned individual rather than, say, a "corporation" out to make a profit without any other motive, I don't have much problem with it. Ha, I as a kid remember my mother getting all worked up about some disgusting pseudo-German Apple Strudel hot pocket kind of thing being marketed by a big corp, complete with a stupid sounding, fake-German accented spokesperson, and she lost her sh!t. And don't cross her path in an Americanized sexy Dirndl and mocking Lederhosen outfit on Oktoberfest, or you might learn some German words you don't actually want to learn. :D [/quote]
