Black Panther in Sports

Black athletes have adopted the crossed-arms “Wakanda Forever” salute when they win at something. Serena Williams did it, and indeed athletes have been doing it since the film came out. There’s an article here about it.

I can’t wait for the first time a Mets player does it after hitting a home run.

I guess my only question is: if a white player does it, will he immediately be accused of cultural appropriation? Taking a salute done by a fictional character created by two white Jews?
