minus-squareTudsamfa@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17arrow-down1·13 hours agoThe counterexample to Mexicans and their Sombreros is Plains Indians and their War bonnet (those feather crowns they used to sell as “Indian kids costumes”), whenever cultural appropriation is mentioned this comes up, so I’d be rather surprised if you hadn’t heard of it before.
