The truth hurts, but if you accept it, it will set you free
To have this privileged white guy wearing horns being treated differently in jail because of culture appropriation is just like when somebody tries to pull off the spiritual equivalent of stolen valor...

Used to be hard now you're just wet and soft
First you was down with the AK
And now I see you on a video with Michel'le?"

I'm just nitpicking here, but what is a "woman of color" supposed to do if her hair is naturally blonde? One of my girlfriends in college wasn't caucasian/white, but was very much blonde. Her sister's hair was even more blonde and she had blue eyes.
There's what you wear, how you act, and who you are. Issues with body image are a real thing, and it's better if these discussions stayed focused if you're going to have them at all. Crayola doesn't have a snit when someone dyes their hair blue.
Getting a tattoo featuring symbolism from another cultural is never alone considered to be appropriation, it is only considered appropriation if it is corrupted in a way that furthers a dynamic of aggression and oppression.
Current popular representations of the Vikings are typically based on cultural clichés and stereotypes, complicating modern appreciation of the Viking legacy.
There is no evidence that the Vikings wore horned helmets, a costume element that first appeared in Wagnerian opera.
And yes, Jay Kay an Englishman (lead vocalist of the jazz-funk band Jamiroquai, (a blend of Jam and misspelled of the native American Iroquois) is guilty of cultural misappropriation.
Many people all over the world are still in awe of Vikings and Indian/Native American brave fearless warriors that they want to be like them even today.
