Shaming teen for wearing ‘racist’ dress to prom is crazy -- Where does nonsense of cultural appropriation end?

Keziah Daum, an 18-year-old high school student in Woods Cross, Utah, has found herself on the receiving end of vicious and scathing abuse on social media for shocking act of … daring to wear a traditional Chinese dress to a prom.

Say what?

Keziah is not Asian. So she is guilty, in the minds of those mindless cowards of the keyboard, of a newly developed left-wing cardinal sin called “cultural appropriation.”

The left wants multiculturalism and are against cultural appropriation. Every culture has done cultural appropriation.

Michael Levin nails it right on the head. I like the last part.

Silk out of China as well. I guess this means that any motorcycle manufacturer that made an opposing twin (like the BMW airheads) after BMW is also guilty.

I agree with the "they are just jealous" statement. That young lady looked gorgeous in that gown (and the gown was beautiful as well).

The left has constantly been telling us to embrace diversity and multiculturalism, yet when a white person does, they are slammed for it.

I'm wondering if eating a peanut butter sammich is cultural appropriation since George Washington Carver helped develop methods for better peanut farming.

Corn (Maize) is native to the Americas, so it should not be used in Chinese cooking.

Potatoes - sweet and regular - are native to the Americas, so potatoes should not be used in African or South Asian cooking.

Etc., etc., etc., etc., ...

Sweeping aside the racist BS, the girl thought it was a beautiful dress, and decided to wear it. If there's any cultural aspect to this, she's showing appreciation for beauty in Chinese culture. And, frankly, she makes the dress look good ( :spork: Better than I would! :spork: ).

It is cultural appreciation, not appropriation.  Similar to St. Patrick's Day or Cinco de Mayo.  Amongst other events.

It is celebrating, not appropriating you stupid dingbats. :mental:

Chinese dress at US prom wins support in China after internet backlash
http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2144207/qipao-us-prom-wins-support-china-after-internet-backlash

Quote
Keziah Daum, an 18-year-old from Utah in the United States, who has no Chinese roots, was accused of “cultural appropriation” after posting photographs on Twitter that featured her in a traditional Chinese qipao, or cheongsam.

The dress symbolised a silent protest to promote gender equality after the fall of the dynasties and the beginning of the republican period in the early 1900s, and was worn during the 1919 reformist May Fourth Movement.

Daum has stood by her decision to wear the dress, which was red and embroidered with gold and black, and told the South China Morning Post it projected a “wonderful message”. She has not deleted her original April 22 post.

The qipao or cheongsam symbolizes silent protest to promote gender equality after the fall of the dynasties. All that lost in the left.

Agreed. Besides, she liked the dress and chose to wear it.

Perhaps those SJWs and those wailing and gnashing their teeth might prefer that she wear a burlap bag -- or does that reflect cultural appropriation of farmers?

Well, a burlap bag would be one of the two acceptable things to see a SJW wearing (the other being a burqa).

If she was a he, the hypocritical SJWs would be praising him to the max instead of complaining for an imagined insult to another culture.
