"To answer that question, Mic asked three women of color about their thoughts
as to why it may or may not be offensive, and why it may never be OK."

Via Muse, who wrote:

"When cultural appropriation becomes particularly offensive is when someone
takes a costume item that is part of a sacred tradition (doesn't have to be
religious, it could be part of adulthood ceremonies). This is something that
has deep meaning for a people and it is being trivialised."
