Roommate: Yoga as it's practiced in the US is cultural appropriation.
Me: Yes, but, we both do yoga. Why is that OK?
Roommate: Well, we've both studied the philosophy behind it.
Me: Yeah, but we still just do it for exercise...
I get what cultural appropriation is. I don't get what it isn't.
Was my roommate just rationalizing her own cognitive dissonance? Or is there something here I'm missing?
