Fool he is?
Burn the painting, as it is racist & offensive. Burn all kimonos as well as oriental rugs. Burn eh all!
If Bruce Jenner showed up in a kimono, would that be racist too? Or a brave stand for gender liquidity?
Right up until the poin that they invade your country, enslave your people and cut the heads off those that refuse to comply.
I would hesitate to call that polite, but definitions can vary.
“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”
Even to eat a taco is racist to the grievance industry. And don’t worry about the jeans being racist. Most cowboys were white, and they killed all the Indians so you would instead be labeled as a supporter of hate and genocide. Face it. Until Whitey starts fighting back its only going to get worse. And why wouldn’t it with no opposition?
A friend of mine married a Japanese mail-order bride. They married in Japan. They had one son. She died of breast cancer over ten years ago.
Weddings are so complicated, no one plans their own wedding. Just pay the fee and show up. Everything is taken care of. It’s brilliant, really.
Japan subjugated the Korean Peninsula for the better part of a half century destroying their country and culture while raping their women and enslaving their men. They enslaved Manchuria, the Philippines, and as much of Asia as they could.
I had to guess about the "left" part; I assumed it was political, but I looked it up anyway.
Chinpira is a yakuza term, I don't know how much it has filtered into regular conversation; "tea talk" is about as far removed from everyday colloquial speech as one can get, and I am always being chided for my being too formal :-)
Where is their outrage against that famous literary work many of us guys loved as teenagers, “The Open Kimono” by Seymour Hair? Somebody should get them right on protesting that. Trolls, alert your groups.
It means leftist thugs.
Chinpira are the dirtballs that do all the crime for yakuza, but aren’t good enough to join the family.
The people whining about this better stay away from the cosplayers at an anime convention or they will have borrow some duct tape from Glenn Beck to wrap around their heads to keep their puny brains from exploding.....
Well as a man I think I will have to continue the fight in other areas. Not sure how I could support the right to wear a kimono that wouldn’t be considered disturbing the peace haha.
Great museum, btw. But they are going to crumble like France. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they decided to do this in order to create the backlash so they could then back down. Thanks rightistight.
Probably homophobic. A traditional practice for a Japanese mother of a new-born was to turn one of her old kimonos into diapers as part of the bonding process. That implied heterosexuals - aka "breeders".
I think you actually say Baka or some like that, been a while since I been to that island, lived there for a couple of months.
That's one way to say it; I did in message #28
To be fair, the Koreans hate them, the Chinese generally do too, but a lot of that is latter day pot stirring for domestic politics. The Taiwanese rather like them, the Filipinos are willing to forgive with Christian charity, the Indonesians never really hated them, the Viets like them a lot better than they like the Chinese, and etc. It’s complicated.
