Our culture is appropriation of other cultures.

Wait, shit, we got that from the British.

Who got it from the romans, who got it from the Greeks.

I don't know where the Greeks got it from, but they probably appropriated it, too.

I'd say rather than appropriation, it more like tossing a bunch of cultures in a blender and cooking something that hasn't been seen in that exact form.
