Girl Wears Asian Style Dress To Prom: Is It Cultural Appropriation? (Page 6)

[Anonymous]

Cultural appropriation is basic human interaction & has always happened. The spread of writing, art, music, found, etc always involves it. I only find it shady if people use it to mock another culture - not out of liking the style.

[neoagent1]

She looked good in it. Good for her. Who gives a fuck what culture the dress is from.

[jacquesvol]

As long as it doesn't go with racism, I see no problem.

[Rissyanne]

So do you believe in cultural appropriation?

[jacquesvol]

@Rissyanne I don't care about it. A lot of our food is 'appropriated'
When you eat spaghetti, it's not American, it's not even Italian in origin: Italians got it from China.
When Europeans eat potatoes or tomatoes, these originated in the US.
And the Pizza was not invented in New York: Old Egyptians and probably old Babylonians ate a kind of pizza. Romans 'appropriated' it and added 'appropiated' tomatoes.

[Rissyanne]

I thought you would be defending these people. After all they are liberals like you.

[jacquesvol]

@Rissyanne As usual, you didn't even read what I wrote.

[Rissyanne]

And as usual... you dont know when I am joking

[jacquesvol]

@Rissyanne Do you joke some times? :-o
Unexpected!

[AbdKilani]

That is over reacting !
Just leave people live and be happy !

[ronaldo75]

No. This is a silly childish stupid fucking argument.

I wouldn't mind her wearing the qipao, but the fact that she made a stereotypical Asian pose while having a history of past racism doesn't make me want to approve it.

[myTake Owner]

You may have misunderstood; she is not the one with a history of racisim, the man accusing her of cultural appropriation is.

[chc0009]

No, she said Asians suck one time.

[myTake Owner]

I hadn't seen that.

[GayHowellMeme]

It's okay, we humans copy each others cultures anyway and we get away with it. That's how societies are supposed to work.

[BonnieBunny]

What I think these people don't realize is that sayiny we shouldn't wear, eat or do things from other cultures is essentially segregation.

[JesseTheMan]

Who cares? Let people wear what they want. I'm more offended by people going to prom than them wearing clothes of other cultures.

[HereIbe]

So, who has called out Beyonce or Minaj on their "cultural appropriation"?

[Philyouup]

Apparently people of color can't appropriate culture, only white folks. I guess I should be getting upset on Saint Paddy's day when every Wannabe Mick wants to pretend they are Irish. Including White non Irish. that's been appropriated for over a century.. I guess because its a White Culture, and its ok to dress in the green and used a faux accent...

[Anonymous]

Think people take things wayy to seriously these days. it's just a dress. besides, the guy who said it, was a guy.. not like he wears those, since he's a guy (unless he's a cross dresser)

[DianaWest]

Funny how that guy, who was so defensive of his own culture, was so quick to post on twitter a racist remark about black people, using the n-word. Apparently he thought it completely appropriate.

[ThisAndThat]

If I were her boyfriend i would inform Jeremy Lam that if he had a problem with the dress I would have no problem to show up and make him wear the dress.

[Pineapple_Boy]

This is so dumb. No one owns copyright to a culture. Culture is meant to be influence and shared.

[Anonymous]

Ask the chineese who promote their culture to the west. Not chineese Americans.

[Anonymous]

NO, cultural appropriation is a made up idea by social justtards to give something else to whine about.

[Pamina]

It is by definition cultural appropriation, but I don't see a problem with it in a case like that.

[Nice222]

I believe people should be able to wear what ever they want.

[old-guys-rule]

F**K political correctness in all its forms. Wear whatever you damn well please.

[Anonymous]

No. "Cultural appropriation" is all bs.

[Pink2000]

White peoples have a habit of doing this. However, I see nothing wrong with her wearing the dress.
