Toxic appropriation is when a marginalized group faces discrimination or harassment for a certain practice while said practice is then adopted and/or commodified by the oppressor. A lot of it is rooted in racism and yes, is bad.

However, you can engage with a culture and its people without disrespecting it. Hell, you can even modify or meld it with your own culture so long as you respect its roots.

Right wing reactionary types see the phrase "cultural appropriation" and think it means "Lefties don't want me to eat Chinese food anymore!" or some stupid shit like that.
