They have diluted black culture to extensions, tans,"frizzy hair", braids, urban clothing, big earrings, etc. It is not okay or admirable. I traveled to Japan and while there I came across some of the stores that sold these products one of them was called "A Nap". These girls don't know and understand true hip hop culture. They seriously believe that a majority of black women dress like this. I am not flattered only offended and annoyed. This is cultural appropriation.
