From My Big Fat Greek Wedding
But... most Asians are at least polite about it.
I spent my teen years in Japan. I am a registered instructor in the Omotesenke school of chanoyu, the Japanese tea ceremony. I and my family have a half-dozen kimono. Please allow me to respond to this as politely as I possibly can:
THIS IS STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And may God help me, that is as politely as I can put it.
I left them a “positive affirmation” in English and Japanese.
I bet it’ll take a week for them to find someone that can read it.
Was it something like a proper respect that needs to be paid when one dons a kimono?
Nah, they have just caught the liberal rabies virus.
The other Asians have little sympathy for the Japanese.
And whats wrong with wearing a kimono ? The Japanese all wear pants these days, should we get mad at them for that ?
That woman may look better in a kimono.
馬鹿んだぞ!
You were probably nicer...
“Idiot do it”
I demand all asians stop wearing pants. That is cultural appropriation of our Western “pantaloons”, and it’s racist!
They are closing in for what they think is the kill. Their fangs are out and they plan to go for the jugular. Their basic premise is that everything in this country is racist. they hate it passionately and want to wipe it out.
Baka (stupid, idiot) is about as nasty a term as one can say in Japanese about someone else. The phrase would mean something like "it's stupid" or "you're an idiot."
Interestingly enough, the word is written with the kanji for horse and deer. In a sense, it is like calling someone an ass (i.e., donkey, not the derriere, which technically is "arse") in English, though the Japanese don't think of the horse or the deer as being stubbornly stupid, the way English speakers think of the jackass.
The Popular Lie Du Jour
Don’t forget Native Americans wearing our clothing just to mock us!
So the worst thing you could say about someone in Japanese is that he is a horse-deer?
Follow the money I’ll bet you find this “Stand Against Yellowface” has been created and funded by Chinese Communists with (moral if not direct monetary) support from the progressive liberal democrat communist party and its communist usurper leadership in all three branches of government.
The same as “black lives matter” et al!
True, I can’t count how many times I see natives dolled up in their white-face costumes, mocking our hallowed cultural traditions. It’s really shameful.
Given that Japanese women traditionally painted their faces white on special occasions (search geisha makeup), I guess turnabout is fair play. Or not.
White paint was internal to Japanese culture, sez the SJW (which I thought was a dating site abbreviation for a while) whereas Japonisme iss cultural appropriation. Not admiration, just white imperialism.
Let me break this down. It’s yet another case of some lib with lots of time and little brains looking for something, anything to be offended about.
Society having given way and acquiesced to just about any and every demand made, they’re left with scraps. They really have to dig deep to find offense.
What liberals want, what they always want, is unending attention. They are what happens when a human becomes emotional stunted at 2 years old, but inhabits an adult body. LOOK AT ME!!! MEEE!!! MEE!!!
