Cultural appropriation in role play

This is something I've been thinking a lot about lately, and have decided to throw open to a wider group.

Obviously, I'm sure all readers of this LJ are roughly aware of what cultural appropriation is. What is crrently running through my mind is a curiosity/concern about how it intersects with role playing as a hobby, and to what extent we as role players are:

a) guilty of it
b) responsible for whether or not it occurs in our role playing games
c) people who actually think it's a bad thing.

( A load of rambling about role playing, which may well not be of interest to any of my non-role playing readers )
