There is such a thing as cultural appropriation, but some people are a little too on-edge about it. Funk isn't the sole provision of black people, although it's certainly wise to respect its roots.
The classic examples of where appropriation happens: it's that music festival kid who wears a native ceremonial headdress simply because it looks cool. It's when a sports team calls itself the Braves or Redskins and thinks it's being cute by asking you to do the "tomahawk chop" at a game. Basically, it's when there's a fundamental level of disrespect, when you're stomping on an entire culture in the name of aesthetics or profit.

John Wayne in The Conquerors as Genghis Khan.

Getting cancer for True Grit or Donovan's Reef might have been worth it, but for this movie? What a waste.Rumor has it that he got cancer doing this film as it was filmed near a nuke test site.
