Until the people they target, like this girl, simply tell them to kiss off, discussion closed, this crap will only get worse.

We really do need to break up this country. It is way past its expiration date.

Thank you VERY MUCH!!!!!

I’m of Irish/German/Scottish/English descent and don’t care for any of their fare. Italian is my weakness. Can’t live without it at least once a week!

>>Mr Lam’s post clearly struck a chord. By the time of writing it had been liked more than 167,000 times and retweeted close to 40,000 times.

So that’s like 20 Democrat bots then?

Whew! That kind of decision would just about make us suicidal, huh? I couldn’t live without them either!

Just MHO but people like him need to go back from whence they came. Get with the program or get out.

Bet he would’ve held his tongue on complaining if it’d been a tranny wearing it.

LOL, your post reminded me of that old joke:

Heaven & Hell

HEAVEN is where: The police are British The chefs Italian The mechanics are German The lovers are French and it’s all organised by the Swiss

HELL is where: The police are German The chefs are British The mechanics are French The lovers are Swiss and it’s all organised by the Italians!!

Here's a solution. Everyone who considers themselves "ethnic" and not American should stop wearing American clothes. No jeans, flipflops, tank tops, vee-neck sweaters, no sport jackets, no ties, no lace-up shoes, no Keds, etc. etc.

They can stroll around in their "ethnic" gowns for all I care.

"My culture is not your... prom dress".

It’s not YOUR culture, “baizuo.”

So, if a Chinese/Asian student wears a non-Asian themed dress, it is not cultural appropriation, but if a Caucasian student does, it is some kind of hate crime? It is all so confusing to me.

So if your not a white male born in the south, then you can’t wear a cowboy hat.
