Debut of Olympic breaking at Paris Games raised questions of authenticity due to cringeworthy moves and a white b-girl wearing a durag, sparking discussions about cultural appropriation. Durags, historically worn by enslaved Africans and later a symbol of Black pride, have been adopted by non-Black individuals leading to accusations of cultural appropriation. Lithuania's silver medalist b-girl Nicka wore a durag, prompting criticism.
