Culture isn't fixed and immutable. That's the fallacy. It's as much a fallacy as any cultural group who claims a historical heritage to a specific land mass: that's all b.s. in the scope of time on earth.
People who think that culture should be immutable are just worshipping dinosaurs.
Culture is appropriated all the time. Every time you see a white dude playing rock music. Every time someone who isn't from India starts taking up yoga. Resisting that is Sisyphean and futile. Thinking that you can resist that is delusional. To believe otherwise would have us still sitting in caves throwing our feces at the wall.
