This might be kind of a silly question, but I feel like it’s one worth asking.

It might have been asked here before, but I’m new around here and I wanted to get an answer to a question that never really seems to have a conclusive answer.

Okay, so, I’m white (shocker) and I was wondering peoples opinions on the age-old question: can while people be Buddhist or is it just cleverly disguised cultural appropriation/colonialism?

I was curious because I’ve considered myself a follower of Buddhist teaching for several years but I’ve read in a couple places that white people can never truly be Buddhist.

Thoughts?
