Forwarded from Easter Tidings
Just happened to see this in passing. Nobody in their right mind would be offended by a Chinese woman in traditional historical European attire, right? Well, it has become offensive to me.
I’m terribly offended by the double standards in this world today. We all saw a white teenage girl be publicly slammed a few years ago for wearing a Chinese style dress to her senior prom. Wearing an Amerindian headdress is seen as horrifically disrespectful to Amerindian culture. But blacks can play the flipping queen of England in TV shows and that’s fine. I’m sure this Chinese woman is a nice lady who respects European culture. But it’s the fact that my people are being shat on day in and day out, our every move is being criticized, but other people can walk all over us and appropriate our culture and nobody bats an eye that offends me.
I ended up leaving that as a comment. I think our side needs to be more vocal at every opportunity. If you want to leave one about cultural appropriation:
