“you can’t eat tacos if youre white, thats cultural appropriation!”

alright then youre not allowed to eat burgers, pizza, or pasta if youre not italian, sausages if youre not german, coffee if youre not middle eastern, fries if youre not belgian or french, or bagels if youre not polish

are you starting to see why your argument is stupid

Literally no one says the first thing.

:T Sometimes people do, though. Lots of people do misuse “appropriation” that way.

I mean, there’s a chance the OP is setting up a strawman, but it does happen.

Yeah I’ve started wanting to start grumbling about people appropriating the concept of appropriation, but haven’t wanted to get that recursive or grouchy.  Although today I really am grouchy.  And some people really do appropriate appropriation.
