You're a sweetheart, but you dismiss issues with racism far too easily.
So to give an example that you may relate to more: imagine chav culture would become fashionable among typical tory kids. So they'd dress like that etc. just for fun, but they'd still act just as snobbish. That would feel wrong, wouldn't it?

and that's another good point. Taking cool aspects from people's culture shouldn't actually take something away from them
