Oh good grief!
I wore a Japanese Kimono to class once in college and all the Japanese kids stopped and stared but they were not upset! They just wondered where I got it! I made it because I could sew. Get over it people.
Liberals are always looking for something to be offended by. Hell, they’ll even be offended for you if you aren’t.
With apologies to Sgt. Hulka: Lighten up, Jeremy.
Beautiful. Is the vast majority of the world is guilty of cultural approbation for wearing blue jeans? I’m just sayin ‘.
If Mr Lam ever wears a coat & tie, isn’t he, by his own logic, culturally appropriating White Euro culture?
My country is not your crying closet.
STFU or GET THE HELL OUT!!
Go #### yourself and if Asia is so great why don’t all of your Asians and whites and blacks who loved the post go the #### to Asia. Preferably NK. Or Vietnam. Or even Japan with their 200 percent GDP and SERIOUS marriage problems.
I’m of Italian descent.
NO ONE should have an italian painting in their house, ONLY Italians should eat at Italian restaurants, NO Italian art should be shown in this capitalist country, NO ONE can eat pasta sauce, Cannoli or Calamari, NO ONE can watch The Godfather or Goodfellas.
NO ONE can LEARN Italian.
No less SPEAK IT in America, except those of Italian descent!!
In fact, ONLY ITALIANS should be able to take Italian classes.
Dumb ####ing descendant of a psych WWII monster, maybe stationed in Nan King.
Go the #### back and start worshiping the emperor again.
I love Italy.
I LIVE IN AND LOVE and PUT FIRST the United States of America.
I won't wear your traditional dress - but you have to give up indoor plumbing, automobiles, higher mathematics, the rule of law, and all the other culture and technology you appropriated and copied from Western Europe and the USA.
See how you like honey pots and ox carts and working an abacus.
But if you wear it wrong, we will make merciless fun of you!
There is no such thing as cultural appropriation. It is made-up liberal bullshit. America is a melting pot of many cultures. Mr. Lam can shove his chopsticks up his backside.
“parallel to colonial ideology.”
Ok, how about you stop appropriating my culture and stop speaking english?
Asian man named JEREMY complains about cultural appropriation.
And my technology is not your platform.
Go carve pictogram's on bamboo you twit.
SJW STFU. We don’t care. Repeat as often as necessary.
So why are chinese women allowed to wear western style dresses then?
twitter is a cesspool where professional victims compete on the hysteria scale for “likes”. it’s distressing that anything from that intellectual wasteland makes it out of the matrix and into real life.
I have to ask, if diversity is our strength, as we’ve all been told a million times, but we’re not allowed to exchange influences and ideas without being accused of some sort of thought crime, than how is that any sort of strength?
“In a widely-shared response to the pictures, one Twitter user, Jeremy Lam, tweeted: “My culture is not your... prom dress”.”
Dear Jeremy,
You should take it as a compliment that someone outside of your ethnicity wants to wear a beautiful, Chinese dress, dumb-ass!
I read somewhere that it was developed by Americans in the 1920s as a cocktail-dress.
