        “Cultural appropriation” is an interesting term, I think that people should have the right to wear clothing of a different culture, I live in Sri Lanka and find it flattering when a non-local wears a traditional Sri Lankan outfit, America needs to chill ;-)

        The Japanese feel the same way. They encourage non-Japanese to wear kimono.

        My son and his wife just returned from Tokyo and brought me a lovely kimono. I love it!!! And wear it too and I'm black. Nothing wrong at all.

        She does get it—she gets that real diversity is sharing the beautiful things others have contributed to the world.

        Shut up. White people taking over cultures has been offensive since they started doing it. But your white privilege thinks it’s diversity. It’s not.

        White people don’t appreciate other cultures. That’s the problem.

        Wearing the outfit didn’t offend me (she looked great) but the group photo with the bowing hand gestures was more offensive to me.

        I have no issues with her wearing the dress. This is the attitude that kicked off the debate tho. Asian Americans are sick of being stereotyped. The "Papa Bless" thing doesn't ring true or was, in any case, used to cue the stereotypical pose.pic.twitter.com/3hfiiwgGYS

        That emojii is actually "high five" though many mistakenly use it as 'prayers'. I sort of cringe when I see it on responses to death or sickness notices.

        Really? Interesting! Definitely could use an emoji crib sheet. 🙏🏻
