A term used by people who try to make someone feel guilty about their discovery of another culture different than their own. (It's usually used by a white person or a radical sjw doing it to a white person) In general, it has no basis since no human within the human race can truly appropriate another culture. We are all related.
Example:
Person 1: Look at your hair! Why do you have braids? That's cultural appropriation.
Person 2: I like it. I think it's cute.

Person 1: So? It's still cultural appropriation.
Person 2: Braids are universal. They belong to several different cultures - just like humans do.

Cultural appropriation or cultural apartheid is an idea intended to keep the races and cultures pure. Contamination of the dominant culture by external influences must be rejected at all costs. Used extensively by the South African's the idea fell into disrepute until revived by SJW's.
Example:
Oh my God! You are doing Yoga, that's Indian culture. You can't be doing that it's cultural appropriation.

A made-up term by self-proclaimed progressives and liberals from the United States who in reality are closeted racists who perceive other cultures as inferior that need to be protected paternalistically.
Example:
Bob publically shamed Alice because she was wearing a poncho. He accused her of cultural appropriation, but her Mexican friends kindly told him to fuck off.

taking aspects from a minority culture, for it's aesthetics, without knowing the meaning behind. this is often controversial when the appropriated culture was exploited or oppressed by the person "borrowing". people are often insulted and looked down upon for having these features naturally, when someone else is praised for having them, without being from that culture.
Example:
person 1: iggy looking so good with her bindi and sari yasss!!1!
person 2: omg that's cultural appropriation :(

The notion that its racist and evil for a white person to wear dreads or corn rows. If you happen to be white and think this is hypochrisy as ca 90% of black women make their hair staight and/or use fake hair, you are also evil and racist because culturel appropriation (and racism) only works one way.
Example:
If you are white and dont stick to a purely white style, as defined by others and not you, you are abusing other races style aka cultural appropriation, which is racist and evil because you are white and thus have no right to steal other races style.

The act of taking customs, practices, or traditions from one culture (usually by a member of a dominant culture) to either mock or simplify the meaning or significance of that piece of culture. Also, taking/wearing something from another culture and appreciating it only when it is not on the body of a member of that culture.
Example:
Examples/applications of cultural appropriation:

Giuliana Rancic: OMG Kylie Jenner's dreadlocks are so cool and edgy!!
Giuliana Rancic: OMG Zendaya must smell like weed and patchouli.

Any male or female that is NOT Native American wearing a Native American headdress because those headdresses are reserved for MALE elders after a religious ceremony; it's not just a cute hat.

Wearing bindis, dashikis, dreadlocks, saris, kilts, clogs, or any other type of clothing that is not native to your own culture without acknowledging the history these clothes come from or the oppression that some people who wear those clothes have to face because they are different from the majority culture in a specific country.

Something a lot of ignorant people try to discredit and write off as bullshit but it is when a person from any background takes something from someone else's culture and tries to make it their own. Literally a person trying to disassociate a culture from it's people.
Example:
Cultural Appropriation is not just Kim Kardashian wearing cornrows but becomes that when the media calls them "Kardashian Braids". More examples are if a girl were to wear an native american headress and call it a "feather hat," or A person wearing a bindi and calling it "the new forehead dot," must I go on???????

Cultural Appropriation is the very real theft of the elements of a minority culture, stolen by the majority, and joined into pop culture, without acknowledging the original creators of that culture. Elements that the original culture are usually made fun of for embracing, but are made trendy by the majority while abusing its significance. Anyone can appropriate culture.
Example:
"Do you see Steven with that tribal tattoo? "
"Total cultural appropriation he isn't even native American and he doesn't know what they stand for. He said they just looked cool"
