The idea of cultural appropriation as a negative is less about white people adopting things and more about white people being considered stylish or bold for adopting something while people of color are seen as thuggish or unprofessional for the same styles.
I would agree that anyone complaining about cultural appropriation simply because someone is using a style needs to chill a bit and stop blaming the people who are adopting that fashion, but the idea that society rewards or labels people differently is one that is definitely true. It's the double standard that is the real issue.
