<human>:  What is the meaning behind the term "cultural appropriation"?
<bot>: Cultural appropriation is the process of borrowing elements from a minority culture by members of a dominant culture or society. This can be done without the consent of the people of the minority culture, which can lead to feelings of exploitation, powerlessness, and distress. Examples of cultural appropriation include non-Native people wearing traditional Indigenous clothing or taking part in sacred ceremonies, or white people using language or cultural practices specific to people of color.
