Maybe it's just may way of looking at things, but I think for something to be culturally appropriated, it would need to be done with sincerity.

Ironically dressing up in Native-American headwear for a frat-party doesn't seem like cultural appropriation, just kinda fucked up (like doing blackface).

Yeah, blackface is fucked up. And using spiritually significant indigenous clothing to go butt chug booze is fucked up. I think the difference is that blackface was never part of black culture. It was part of white culture. The appropriation part comes from the fact that it’s crossing cultural boundaries.
