It's not like other countries "copied" McDonalds Cherie... it's the same company . I guess it would be more like... if a new chain selling southern fried chicken opened in Sheffield... and they called it "Yorkshire Fried Chicken" .

Also it was the owners of McDonald's who brought it to this country

It's a bit pointless to argue over all this since food isn't appropriation.

There are some people who argue it is. To the best of my knowledge, they tend to be in the minority.

The mere act of wearing something isn't often seen as cultural appropriation outside of people falsely claiming so. I don't think you'd be able to say that wearing a tartan pattern alone is appropriation but if you dressed up in a full tartan get up with those hideous tartan hats with the terrible ginger wigs attached then, yeah, you could argue that is appropriation since you dressed up as a parody of a scottish person.

It's all about intent and whether people are profiting from a culture that they've taken things from and presented them as their own.

I don't read threads like a normal person, I read random posts. Sometimes I start at the end and read backwards. It's fun; you get the incredulous reactions and then get to read on and discover what caused them.

Well... obviously both. There needs to be a demand for it to make it worthwhile.
