Complex feelings about "borrowing" from other cultures in movies and art

Cultural appropriation, it's definitely a thing in our circles.  But often we cling to some things that perhaps need to be shared and made new again-folklore is a good example. We should just make something original and unique to our inner life.  In many instances we should have been more respectful of the things we've lifted from other places.  I hope you'll read the links I post here, think about them and see where you go with those thoughts. I'm still chewing on them. (There are a ton I could post)
