These people are mentally ill. So a Kimono is now a racist form of clothing. I assume I will no longer be allowed to where Chinos as they are too close in name to Chicano. And that is RACIST!
That’s so niggardly of you. /s
I think we need to burn the pretty painting as well.
Just one more idiot organization reporting for duty.
everything is racism...
...except hating whitey
I guess we can take some cold comfort that the board and most of the people who work at this museum are probably card-carrying Liberals.
I would be willing to bet that none of these idiots have ever been to Japan. The Japanese will not only willingly sell you a kimono (or more likely a cheap imitation because foreign visitors can afford little else), they will help you put it on, take your picture and sell you photograph packages at very reasonable prices.
That’s getting to be quite a long line...I would suggest optimal for the Conga, but, well, you know...
Amen brother...Nippin' at my heels again.
“A group called “Stand Against Yellow-Face @ the MFA” has planned a protest for tomorrow at six o’clock.”
How is wearing a kimono racist? They can be very nice and were worn for centuries. Jesus next I won’t be able to wear jeans because it might offend a cowboy.
This does not even sound like a typical Oriental response, which would be something like polite curiosity at these inscrutable Westerners. It is more attuned to the liberal attitude of affecting the outrage du jour.
My thoughts exactly.
Just like ISIS is doing - destroying ancient artifacts and works of art.
Everyone knows that the kimono and impressionist painting are the ultimate tools of white oppression.
Duh.
The painting should be painted-over with a rainbow.
We need to laugh in their face and tell them to grow up.
They don’t deserve any serious response.
Monet was French so I guess he could not understand the Japanese, or so they say. It looks like a perfectly nice painting to me.
Some prankster from Japan has to be laughing. White supremacy? The US went from boiling mad at Japan to reconciled with it within a year... what other enemy in a war would do that?
It is high time that we put an end to this infernal nonsense that America has an exceptionally racist history. It does not. It has an exceptionally inclusive history that saw the inclusion of every race and ethnicity in the World given an opportunity to achieve and excel. As well as the only country known t have fought a bloody war to free members of a distinct and different race from bondage.
I recently saw a Japanese gentleman wearing a three-piece suit and a necktie.
That is Western clothing! How DARE he demean my culture!
