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:

Nehalennia goddess of the North Sea.
On votif stones you appeared,
for guidance of our sailers.
Ancient but not forgotten,
by our people of the swamps.
Guided by the underworld hound
of our merciless North Sea.
Some were taken,
some were given,
in our Lowlands we are free.
Overflowing horn of fertility,
in your arms we'll give,
a sacrifice to thee.

An ancient Sámi stone seid overlooking Lake Seydozero (Russian: Сейдозеро, Kildin Sami: Sejdjavvr') on Mount Ninchurt (Russian: Нинчурт), Kola Peninsula, Murmansk Oblast.
Seids (Northern Sami: sieidi, Finnish: seita, Swedish: sejte, Russian: сейд) are Sámi cultural items, usually a rock with an unusual shape.
Seydozero is a sacred lake of the indigenous inhabitants of the Kola Peninsula, the Sámi. Legends about Seydozero were recorded by ethnographers and researchers in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The locals told them that a seid is an incorporeal spirit that can travel, or can settle in some interesting place: a rock, a cave, a lake, or a large stone. The Sámi have long respected the seids and brought them their gifts.
Some researchers believe that this region was earlier inhabited by the fabled Hyperboreans.
Fortunately, there are still no roads to or near Seydozero, so the visitor can experience the place like the ancients did.

Sutton Hoo: Indo-European Funerary Practises in Saxon England | The site in Suffolk, Eastern England, has been inhabited since the Bronze Age, when it was settled by Indo-European pastoralists. After the Germanic conquest of England, the early Anglo-Saxons used Sutton Hoo as a sacred cemetary. Between 575 – 625 CE, they constructed approx. 20 burial mounds (or, hlāw. See: 21.5.21) on the site, complete with grave goods typical of the Indo-European tradition.
