There is a slight difference between highbrow culture and lowbrow culture. The difference is not just because of the difference in ethnicity, but the difference is because of racial discrimination. This discrimination made it so normalized that the peace of the society became deteriorated. There have been examples where cultural domination becomes a day-to-day affair the public becomes aware of the racial discrimination (Apfelbaum et al., 2010).Cultural appropriation is somehow very similar to cultural amalgamation. The theory says that when it becomes important for all the particles to follow the required amount of cultural mixing.
