Cultural appropriation is the buzzword of 2016. From sombreros to Egyptian plays to chav-themed sports socials, everyone seems to be appropriating something nowadays.

So what counts as cultural appropriation? And, more importantly, are you guilty of it? Take this quiz to see just how commandeering you are of other cultures – if you went on a gap year, it’s probably very.
