So, let me get this straight. By that reasoning, if Wynton Marsalis uses a trumpet to play jazz without thanking the white Europeans who invented the instrument, that's okay, but if he uses it to play polka music, and rolls his eyes mockingly while doing it, then that use of the trumpet is cultural appropriation?

I have another idea. Let W.M. do whatever the f#@k he wants with it.
