"To everyone causing so much negativity: I mean no disrespect to the Chinese culture. I’m simply showing my appreciation to their culture. I’m not deleting my post because I’ve done nothing but show my love for the culture. It’s a f---ing dress. And it’s beautiful," she tweeted on Saturday.

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

Then the internet came along, allowing them to make some useless noise.

I’m sure all of the people attacking this teen girl wear blue jeans, use cell phones and the internet - all of which were invented by white men.

Cultural appropriation indeed.

I personally would have included an insult to those mentally-ill phony SJW's that actually think this is a big deal, but a good response nonetheless. There's hope yet for the young generation.

This whole cultural appropriation thing is so nonsensical. Who made any of these internet clowns the minister of culture?

I hope she stands her ground.

“It’s a f***ing dress”.

Enough said.

Funny the Chinaman that instigated the broohaha did so on the Internet, in English, while living in the USA. Cultural appropriation much?

Racism is when you say: “My race is superior to your race; you are no good.”

A woman wears a beautiful dress on a special day and is attacked because she’s racist? Because the beautiful dress, which she carefully picked out, carries Chinese motifs? That’s racist?

These people are pathetically stupid.

Jeez, a cute girl wearing a cute dress is “shamed”. Props to the girl for standing up to the bullies.

And props to her date for having good taste in women,

She should of told the guy to get off his computer/phone/internet as he was appropriating someone else’s culture.

Oh Do let’s go there! Every ‘culture’ can only utilize what their culture produced. No more straight or blonde hair for blacks, no more lip inflating for non-blacks. No more using anything your culture didn’t create- which means inside plumbing,medications, electricity,modes of transportation and anything to do with computers will be instantly forbidden to non-whites. If non-blacks are forbidden black rap(obscene) ‘music’ things improve overnight.

If VERY seldom (if ever) used, it can have an impact.

If part of her daily patois, it detracts from her appearance.
