    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/2rhvEN9

        That’s because the US has jumped the shark with all this cultural appropriation stuff. It’s too much. And I say this as a liberal.

        It bothers me that so many go out of their way to find things to be angry about. I see this and think, "oh nice, she's enjoying a nice outing dolled up". Others apparently see this and think "how do we bury this girl with our words & make her regret being born"..

        You don't live in china, here its cultural appropriation cause it's a group of people in power in this shared society reducing the culture of a marginalized group to a costume. In china everyone's Chinese, so it's just like "aww look at the cute white girl dressed like us"

        Gets more complicated, but similar situation with Asian ppl getting cornrows. I'd say that in cases where 1 marginalized group adopts the cultural symbols of another marginalized group, if it's done from a place of respect and learning then it's cool

        When people "appropriate" your culture, it is generally a good thing.

        People are way too hyper sensitive about clothing. We should embrace variety and other cultures. If it looks good, wear it. Calm down, people.

        Ok, this is just ridiculous. I own a very similar dress. I have no problem sharing my culture as long as it is not mocked in a derogatory manner. She wore the dress to prom! She looked beautiful. This is stretching it!

        Probably bc people in China don’t get made fun of and harassed for wearing traditional Chinese clothing. Those that have had that experience in the US have been forced to assimilate and reject a part of their culture but now it’s “cool” bc some white girl is wearing it

        You mean educating her bc she fails to acknowledge the issue that’s deeper than “just a dress”? Absolutely 😊

        Why are you so against people sharing and spreading culture? The dress wasn’t insulting or anything.

        Nothing about my argument was against people sharing cultures. There’s nothing wrong with the dress itself, the problem is that it’s not her culture. Those traditional dresses mean something. They’re not a costume for her to make some stereotypical “Chinese pose” with her friends
