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!
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.
Everyone knows that the kimono and impressionist painting are the ultimate tools of white oppression.
Duh.
We need to laugh in their face and tell them to grow up.
They don’t deserve any serious response.
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!
From My Big Fat Greek Wedding
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.
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.
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!
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!!!
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?
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.
