We’ll need to go to the experts, Shaun King and Rachel Dolezal, to get the answer to that question.

unless they do a DNA test on every choir person, it would seem racist to accuse them of being only white

Additionally, songs become public domain after 100 years (or something like that)

but I have to ask, is the complaintant wearing jeans, which were invented in Sacramento, CA ? if we’re going to go all cultural appropriation and such...

[Savage Beast]

Of course.

And to wear mantillas, eat sushi, listen to the music of Rachmaninoff, play the sitar, and recite the poetry of Rumi.

The entire concept of "cultural appropriation" is absurd. All cultures have absorbed influences of other cultures.

It would be as ridiculous to say that English speaking people cannot use words taken from other languages, e.g. bungalow, sommelier, or boondocks, or that French speaking people cannot say week-end, or that German speaking people cannot say baby-sitter.
