Not from the sound of it

I was always disappointed that the cultural appropriation includes disallowing dressing as other cultures. Why would it be so wrong to play someone else for a moment? It's just some innocent fun, so why prohibit it?

Sounds racist if you want a group of people to (not) do something because of their race.

I believe the concept of cultural appropriation divides more than it unites and it would be a net positive to get rid of it
