Welch's claim that white people have a history of appropriating other cultures does not mean he's denying that white people have their own cultures to be proud of. The two are not mutually exclusive.

"I've been taken aback by the criticism but the positive response has outweighed the negative," Welch said.

"I'm a huge activist against social injustice and was shocked and glad my tweet had such a huge response!"
