Utah girl wore a "Chinese dress" to her prom and is branded a racist? Does this make sense?

WTF!!!, it's all on page one of this thread, plus you just quoted it yourself at the top of page two.

Are you one of the nutters or the lunatics?

Gaw. That's so effin retarded. If she's European blooded then by default she's half-Chinese anyways due to 100,000 invasions of Europe over the past 25,000 years by Oriental armies as revealed in the Human Genome.

Exactly!

And for the most part, it's not simply "people" it's young high school / college kids desperately looking for approval and trying to show some individuality (by ironically expressing the exactly same opinions as a giant chunk of their peers - this generation's punks?)

Anyway, point is you'd consider yourself nuts to walk into a high school / campus and start arguing issues with a bunch of lacking life-experience kids, so why do it just because the online environment allows you to? Just ignore and don't get yourself so angry...

Nutters and lunatics the lot of them. wrote:

one of the lunatics, certified type posting from the asylum

Apart from the fact that she looked hot in that dress, the sort of culturally not right bit was the photo she took with all her friends with them with their hands clasped together in a sort of chinese style. That looked a bit wrong to me.

Culture is not a single individual's creation; therefore no single individual has domain over it. Anyone that feels that strongly is highly insecure and uneducated. All culture throughout time has been influenced by other cultures ... aka cultural appropriation.

Here's an article from a much better source:

Some Narcissistic teenage girl gets called out by some idiot who also tweets crap like "I'm eating tamales with chopsticks" and it makes the international news. There *must* be something more important to care about.

The PC left is just dumb. End rant.

Palms together is the traditional "namaste" greeting from India. Chinese will either put a fist in their palm or clasp their hands together when doing a traditional greeting. And, yes. The namaste greeting is common in Tibet which is part of China. But the vast majority of Chinese would do a fist in palm instead of palms together.

I do not see a cultural appropriation issue. Asian culture runs all through American fashion and art. And that is a good thing. But this girl obviously does not have a clue about Chinese culture given the pose with her friends. That is just bad taste and ignorance.

But I cannot understand how this girl's parents let her keep her twitter account public after this. That to me is way more of a concern than some stupid HS kid not knowing the difference between Indian and Chinese culture. Right now, at least 200,000 borderline pedophiles and 2.3 million teen boys are jerking it to pictures of this girl's caboose. I don't care if this girl is 18. It is just unbelievable that a parent would let a high school girl keep a twitter account public with some suggestive photos after one of these viral tweet things goes international.

Lol americans are stupid. I have chinese friends who have gifted traditional chinese clothes to my family. Chinese Like If Others enjoy their culture and its only clothes either way

Guys there was no cultural appropriation. This entire hullabaloo was caused by a few trolls on twitter. And I mean faceless and nameless trolls.

I notice a lot of non whites wearing suits and ties, talking like white guys. This crazy racism has to stop!

I don't understand how or why our society gives so much validity to opinions. You think it's racist? Ok, that's your opinion. Too bad. I don't feel that way and I'm going to make my own decisions. You don't like it? Deal with it.

Of course it means she's racist.

See the last column of the following chart.

I'm Chinese, and I don't have a problem with non-Chinese women wearing a qipao. As long as you do so respectfully, I don't see what the problem is with enjoying other people's cultures.

I ate Panda Express for lunch. Guess I'm a racist too.

the article was written using a culturally appropriated alphabet.

Talk about male privilege. If a man wore this exact dress it would be empowering! Besides, it's way over the line to harass a 17-year-old girl over this. At least wait til she's in college and learns the rules of this nonsense first.
