Question

If a non-Latinx/Hispanic/Chicanx part takes in the celebration of el Dia de Los Muertos, do you considered this to be a cultural exchange or cultural appropriation?

Answer 1

Answer:

I consider it to be a cultural exchange.

Explanation:

If someone wants to participate in Dia de Los Muertos because they are interested in it or learning about the culture, I don't think that anything bad will happen. If they do it simply because they want to without reason I would say that is up for debate, but as long as you participate with respect for traditions and cultural-related things I don't see a problem.

Answer 2

Answer:

As a Mexican I would say it depends

Explanation:

If they are genuinely interested in learning about the culture, or have had someone who has passes and wanted to do it out of respect them yes its good. Día de los muertos is a day to celebrate the dead and make offerings to them. I don't see why not.
