Cultural Appropriation Hats

[oggbashan]

In my lifetime I have owned and worn a succession of hats given to me or bought as tourist souvenirs.

I have worn:

A solar toupee
A Jewish Yarmaluke
A Turkish Fez
An Australian Army slouch hat
A ten gallon hat
A Canadian Mounties Hat
A Mexican sombrero
A Black Forest hat wih bird's feather
Several American team baseball caps
A Trilby
A Bowler
A Grey Top Hat
A Yorkshire flat cap
A Glengarry
A Naval Officer's cap
A Police Helmet
A WW1 German Picklehaube
WW2 Steel Helmets - British, American, German and Russian
A Russian Fur hat
Henry VIII's hat as seen in my avatar
A medieval peasant's liripe
A Green Irish topper for St Patrick's Day
An Anglo-Saxon helmet
A Norman Helmet
A straw boater
etc...

Edited to add - I forgot

Scout Berets in Green, Air Force Blue, and Maroon plus old fashioned mountie-style Scout hat.

Should I apologise for cultural appropriation?

I don't wear hats, but every once in a while, I regret that I somehow lost a Turkish Cypriot restaurant "Tree of Idleness" hat in old town Savannah, Georgia some years back. I've written several stories with that restaurant as a venue, so I really liked that hat.

I'm a bona fide lefty, but everyone has their limits, and seeing "cultural appropriation" under every rock is beyond my limit. While it does exist and is a real problem, most so-called cases of cultural appropriation are nothing but virtue signaling among hypersensitive white liberals.

i don't believe in cultural appropriation. i do, however, believe in fashion faux-pas.
