Is Homogenic's cover cultural appropriation? Is it racist?
Depends. Is it cultural appropriation for Japs to play rock music or wear Western business suits instead of a bathrobe with sandals?
Is it cultural appropriation for non-whites to celebrate christmas?

No, it isn't. It's clearly a display of appreciation for a particular aesthetic, and she simply expanded upon it by creating her own look for the cover.

This notion of "cultural appropriation" runs counter to the whole project of art, in which meaning is conveyed through a body of accumulated symbols and referents. Art all about borrowing
also I doubt Bork is white, she's probably some half-yellow Genghis Khan rape baby descendant anyway

Since she's not a fucking buddhist. maybe.
