Thank you for the responses. Been insightful reading through them.

By contrast, something like folklore should have a greater adherence to tradition no matter who's doing it.
If I understand what you mean, are you suggesting when it comes to folklore, fable stories, tall tales, etc. these should not be adapted to fit within another culture or be made more understandable within that culture? (i.e. a Chinese version of Johnny Appleseed, and American version of Mulan, etc.)

mainly, if an american goes to china lives there for 2 years and is considered by the state and everybody chinese, then he comes back to america and makes chinese food, is he an outsider ("appropriating culture") making chinese food or a chinese making chinese food ("not appropriating culture"?
You just reminded me Ivan Orkin. From what I recall from the Netflix's series, Chef, he was born in the States. Studied Japanese and went on to live in Japan for some number of years and opened a successfull ramen business. His goal was not to open a ramen business to serve tourist but to serve Japanese citizens, speak their language, live their lives, etc.

i need a specific scenerio of what op is talking about then
Apology but I do not have a specific scenario. This question came up as a random thought. The story bout Cornelius Boots was something that just popped back into my mind and I could not help but wonder what if we took his situation and applied it to other culture, professional fields, positions, etc. How might some others react or how much respect would some people have toward a person's expertise if ethnicity does not align with the culture.
