White saviorism is the belief that you understand and know how to address a community and its problems in spite of not having any involvement with or ties to that community because you are white abd educated. Me thinking I can fix Puerto Rico’s issues because Im an educated white guy who has a poli sci degree would be an example of this as my Spanish is trash, I have never been to Puerto Rico, and Im unfamiliar with their history.

Cultural appropriation is utilizing imagery or concepts from a foreign culture. It can be good, bad, weird, or neutral depending on multiple factors.
