    That’s how appropriation works though, by forcing out the people who used it in its original context.

    I’d argue that by making it so only the people who use dogwhistles use it, it now becomes a fog horn. No one in 1910 cared about a Hindu symbol for peace. People cared a lot by the end of 1945.
