My brand of tiki is not cultural appropriation really it has bits of this and that from many cultures.

Cantonese food Chinese tiles tiki from all over Tapa from Tonga mostly ideas from OA and Disney and elsewhere etc.

You know if there is any cultural appropriation it would be from Trader Vic Bregon or Donn Beach as it is something they put together in their quest for money.

It's more American business than any culture out there.

BUT if you do live say in California and do worry about cultural appropriation, are you in an area that is not telling you to not plug your car in because the power grid might shut down.

Are they also telling you not to use electricity because of the same thing?

If you are dealing with issues like that, do you really have time to deal with the fact that you might upset somebody with your tiki collection?

So, was Archie Bunker cultural appropriation and slander all rolled up into one TV show?

Guess I grew up in a different time.
