"Hey Woke :
Shouldn't we be talking about 'cultural appropriation' here if, for the same reason, white people shouldn't wear Rastas?
No, we don't have to! You see it yourself, don't you?

this sets out a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism based on a #PoliticsNationalismEthno assumption that being #NoREuropeGermanyBavaria.n necessitates that you're white. The logic follows, that if #IdentityBlack people are not criticised for dressing 'white', then #IdentityWhite people shouldn't be criticised for their #PhenomnCulturalAppropriation of the cultures of others. Significantly, #IndivSportspersonDayotUpamecano is French i.e. "is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the France national team" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dayot_Upamecano Given this, cultural appropriation tends to have an 'exploitative' dimension to it i.e. that those appropriating tend to be doing so to gain advantage (from those whose culture is being appropriated) - so, in the sense, any such appropriation would be deemed trivial (surely).
"That's right, because everyone can and should be allowed to dress/style themselves as they want. Imagine if there were a decree that traditional costumes could only be worn by white Germans/Bavarians. Would that also be woke ? I do not think so."
Addendum: this sets out a #ReasoningFallacyWhataboutism based on a #PoliticsNationalismEthno assumption that being German/Bavarian necessitates that you're white. The logic follows, that if #IdentityBlack people are not criticised for dressing 'white', then #IdentityWhite people shouldn't be criticised for their #PhenomnCulturalAppropriation of the cultures of others. Significantly, #IndivSportspersonDavidAlaba is Austrian (born in #NoREuropeAustriaVienna ) and #IndivCampaignManagerShalimarHeppner is German (born in Bavaria's capital city, #NoREuropeGermanyBavariaMunich ) i.e. neither are positioned 'outside' of the culture they're presenting here (and so, by definition they're not appropriating #NoREuropeGermanyBavaria.n culture).

Addendum: first of all, are the Goignans German or not i.e. are they 'inside' or 'outside' the culture they're referencing? While there are clearly nuances to this, I think it would be safe to say that the meme's intention is to evoke a #PoliticsNationalismEthno position i.e. that being black disqualifies you from being German (that Germans are ethnically homogeneous). As per the above question, "Kingsley Junior Coman is a French professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich and the France national team" and Sephora is Canadian i.e. neither are German - both are 'outside' the culture they're referencing in this image. This said, cultural appropriation tends to have an 'exploitative' dimension to it i.e. that those appropriating tend to be doing so to gain advantage (from those whose culture is being appropriated) - so, in the sense, any such appropriation would be deemed trivial (surely). #NoREuropeGermanyBavaria.n costume.
