 The concept of cultural appropriation can be used in either a descriptive or normative sense, and so it is important to be attentive to how it is being employed in a particular context. By comparison, consider how “exploitation” can have a descriptive or normative sense (Valdman 2009: 2): you can exploit an opportunity to get a snack when the food truck unexpectedly arrives without this implying wrongfulness. Likewise, some writers invoke cultural appropriation in a descriptive sense that leaves open whether a particular act of appropriation is wrongful (Young 2008: 18), whereas others employ the normative sense in order to pick out a particular kind of wrongful action (Todd 1990: 24).
