not too unpopular

You're basically speaking to "appropriation vs appreciation"

People can sense a deep appreciation and honor for the culture.. that appreciation almost always leads to someone "doing it right" cuz they're so deeply and genuinely immersed in it or aspects of it

So it's less likely to come off as a joke or parody , making it less likely to be blatantly offensive.

but then who draws the line?

cuz genuine appreciation doesn't always lead to great execution. and fake appreciation (appropriation) can indeed lead to effective execution -- ex. justin timberlake

i don't really care much about drawing those lines

Long as u ain't got crazy shit to say about black people we good. And that goes for every color from white to black.

That's the mess that'll usually get me on a soapbox with a blade in hand
