Very thorough and insightful post. I think what is termed cultural appropriation is what leads to real progress. The best ideas are recognized and adopted by others which leads to them benefitting more people. The hypocrisy of claiming to be against racism but still treating people primarily according to their group identity just makes my head hurt. I don't think we will see its effects in 2040 though. Real change is on the horizon. Thanks for sharing it with me. Keep up the good work!
