I think there is legitimacy to the notion of Cultural Appropriation, and genuine harm in some examples.
Are there any examples of CA which aren't already covered by DBAD?

"Cultural Appropriation" has a place as a concept, because it's definition can be coherently stated and it can even be observed in reality. That is frankly way more than what's necessary to have a place as a concept.
That being said...
My instinctive feeling, which you may take for whatever you find it to be worth, is that discussing things in terms of this concept, though it can be somewhat illuminating, doesn't justify the distance it places between us and the solution to the largest and most desperate struggles within American culture at this time.
