I think the piece this is trying to refute is worth a read: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/opinion/in-defense-of-cultural-appropriation.html?mcubz=1

    it’s more troubling because, as the critic Adam Shatz has observed, the campaign against Ms. Schutz’s work contains an “implicit disavowal that acts of radical sympathy, and imaginative identification, are possible across racial lines.”

I think it makes good points.
