The writer thinks it's always wrong when a white person dresses like someone from another race or culture, but thinks that it's always OK when someone from another race or culture dresses like a white person.

The writer also thinks that white students who wear a sombrero to a party deserve to lose their housing.

I’m going to call the police the next time I see a black guy wearing a suit and tie

[Newbomb Turk]

Anything that screws Disney totally ok with though.

Whites invented power grids, telecommunications networks, the printing press, computers, television, vaccines, modern medicine ... when PoC stop using them, I will give a crap about “cultural appropriation” ... till then, FOAD.

On Oct 31st I saw this buxom girl in a cowboy hat; she had six shooters on her hips and a star.

I JUST BROKE DOWN AND **SOBBED***..!!!!!

:(

Marc Jacobs, a white, cisgender man, can’t tell black women that their own cultural beauty standards are not being appropriated...?

Yes he can and did, Jenny. And you can disagree. Why don't you take the totalitarianism out of your language and try again?

[windsorknot]

We need more safe zones to protect us from a plethora of microaggressions.

[Jaded]

That’s six kinds of ridiculous

She told you she didn't want to have a drink with you?

[dfwgator]

. Making things even worse, the designer then attempted to tell the black women who were offended that they, too, have historically appropriated white women’s standards of beauty by straightening and relaxing their own hair.

Well, he is right about that.

ROFL when PC tribes go at each other.

This isn’t “wearing the skin” - it’s wearing the gazillion tattoos. Which I frown upon generally. But how else can kids efficiently replicate a gazillion tats? By wearing a bodysuit already endowed with them.

[Tennessee Nana]

the word is Polynesian for sure...in New Zealand moana is Maori for lake...

[Shadow44]

I saw this coming.

First Disney is labeled racist for being “too white” with no minority princesses and not caving into perversion.

Disney offers concessions, and of course is still labeled racist.

They need to grow a spine and tell them to get lost like Walt would have.

[Rastus]

And if it was warm, she wouldn’t wear much more.

[Tennessee Nana]

BTW there probably are no tattooed Maori women any more the old ones died out years ago...

Maori men tattooed their tongues and poked them out at their enemies to scare them during battle...

[ClearCase_guy]

Those Pacific Islander cannibals can freakin’ eat me.

+20

lol

[WVNan]

Does this mean we Southerners can reclaim our rebel flag. It is definitely a visual signifier connecting us with those who have come before us

[rlmorel]

These people need to be laughed at, long and hard.

I miss Sambo’s restaurants.
