You can't win. If you embrace a culture that is not your own then you're
evil because you've culturally appropriated it. If you *don't* embrace a
culture that is not your own then you're evil because you're ignoring
another culture that has made important contributions to human
civilization. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
