If wearing a turban for hallowe'en is cultural appropriation then what is writing a column where you assume you can speak for every ethnicity in the country? Does wearing a turban for hallowe'en offend specific cultures? I don't know, if it does I would expect to hear about it from the offended group not Elizabeth Renzetti. Who is this smug, Canadian born white women to instruct anyone on how another culture feels? That is cultural appropriation on a grand scale.
