I'm not OP but I would say one difference is the fact that they don't mind that people of different ethnicity live in the same country, but they don't want them to mix what's part of their culture... Or if we're honest, in most cases they want the majority to not adopt things that are associated to other cultures because they assume that it's done with bad intentions or that's it's a form of theft, but I'm sure they wouldn't say a thing if a minority did the same...
So they're in favor of a world where whites are exposed to everyone else (contrary to the right) but don't mix up with them, not as a way to keep them "pure" (contrary to the right), but as a way to stop them from "stealing" from other cultures what makes them unique...
Either way, it's stupid 🤷
It's not possible to steal culture, this is ridiculous
You wouldn't download a culture...
Hence the quotation marks, telling someone they're doing cultural appropriation is basically accusing them of stealing something that's unique to another culture and that can't be replicated by someone who isn't part of it.
