    When a Utah student wore a Chinese-style dress to her high school prom, it set off an uproar — but not in Chinahttps://nyti.ms/2KugxIZ

        “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 ;-)

        This is absurd. People get outraged over everything. I teach Chinese students and every year, I am gifted with beautiful cheongsams...that I cannot wear because some outraged person will attack me.

        Don’t let them stop you! The good thing about this story is that more people defended her than criticized her. The guy who started this faux outrage got slammed

        This is why 45 and his backing regime came to power because us liberals are idiots. Repeat after me," WHEN EVERYTHING IS AN OUTRAGE THEN NOTHING IS AN OUTRAGE". We're all fools and the regime will consolidate power due to shit like this!

        If you've been following this story you'd know that there has been overwhelming support for the girl wearing the dress from liberals here too (like myself). I've seen much more support for her than I've seen criticism of her choice

        If there'd been such "support" it never would have gone viral to begin with.

        How do you figure? The only reason I heard about the story a couple of days ago is because one of the people I follow (a liberal, I should point out), retweeted her picture in support.

        Right wingers are racist scum. You think THEY were like "oh noes, this white girl is wearing something asian inspired"? No. Only the regressive left will shout "cultural appropriation!" over random innocuous stuff.

        Maybe re-read what I wrote? I never said that conservatives were the ones crying "cultural appropriation", nor did I claim that no liberals were doing that. Just...try reading what I wrote again?

        So it went viral because people are supporting her then? Ummm. No. It went viral because she was attacked, by whom? No one? Your argument makes no sense. Have many seats.pic.twitter.com/5rJzclEEHM

        I don't know how I can make this any clearer. I never said "no one was attacking her". I said that liberal support was greater than liberal outrage. If at this point you're still not able to figure out what my point is (or at least argue what I'm actually saying), that's on you

        You can't compare the lack of outrage I China to how it makes some in the USA cry culture appropriation. If people in other countries feel that wearing black face is ok, it doesn't make it right do so in the USA...

        I don’t believe in cultural appropriation. I’m throwing a Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday. Turns out many of the friends I’ve invited are Anglo. We will have fun. I’ll feed them tacos and share my tequila.

        I think people have forgot about the language they speak and the math and science they have appropriated to complain about a dress. How about the military weapons the anglos share to the world

        Yes, that is outrageous. Mexico, for example has one, highly regulated, gun store. Yet somehow our lax gun laws have armed the cartels. A little off subject, but I get your drift. Americans share culture. That’s a good thing.

        It’s not the first time a woman of western descent has worn the cheongsam (qi pao in Mandarin). I think more people are reacting to the accompanying pics of her and girlfriends posing with the hands pressed together, in mid-curtsy. THAT was offensive. And I’m Chinese.

        "I think more people are reacting to the accompanying pics of her and girlfriends posing with the hands pressed together, in mid-curtsy. THAT was offensive. And I’m Chinese." Would you be willing to share more explanations about these ideas & reasons? If so, please & thank you.

        The hands-pressed,mid-curtsy pose is not of a Chinese tradition, custom. Not speaking for all Chinese women, but to me, that gesture/pose connotes one of submission. (The stereotypes of Suzy Wong and past films having perpetuated these thereby making it seem like it must be.)
