Compare and contrast.

The minute you say "cultural appropriation" I have discounted you as an intellectual, and I am no longer listening to anything you say. You are demonstrably an idiot, and you need to shut the fuck up.

"Cultural appropriation" is the language of the KKK from the mid 1900's. Trying to keep white society pure from the negro and catholic influences reducing the vitality of white culture.

So it was historically used in the opposite context of how SJW use it now?

I don't believe the KKK used the exact term 'cultural appropriation.'

Something more in the language of 'Damn impure darkies' and similar.
