Cultural appropriation?

A badge that very much looks like an aircrew badge but isn’t.

A move to rebrand Airmen as Aviators.

From the BBC - “Cultural appropriation is when a tradition, such as clothing or a hairstyle, is taken from a culture and used in a different way.

It can offend people when people do this without making it clear where the traditions come from, or when they don't acknowledge how important they are to certain cultures.

This can make some people feel as if their culture is not being respected.”

Am I allowed to be offended or are aircrew not allowed to take offence?
