I consider all the things to be unabashed cultural appropriation. All the things.
That being said, anything that will wipe out the scourge of tiki torches is OK with me. If the Polynesians who appropriated Tiki culture from their ancestors want to say they are offended, I am totally on their side! Tikis are a foul blight upon many of my favorite places and events.
The new solar powered LED fakes with the flickering patterns are way better although sadly good ones are pretty expensive. WAY better.
