It's stealing a cultural aspect of another's community whilst it's still being used to marginalized a group.

Hair is a great example. Braids, plats, dreads, cornrows ect...have rich African heritage. For the most part, when a famous white person has used one of these styles, they are met with praise, or at least gain notoriety, either which helps their brand and makes them more money.

To this day, there are still jobs that view those hair styles as unprofessional, and black people are fired from jobs, disqualified from sporting events, and have less products and stylists available who know how to properly groom black hair.

TLDR; MGK and Bo Derrick can wear cornrows without consequence, but a black person applying for a job maybe viewed as less professional for having a "non-white" haircut.
