If he wants to get pissed about cultural appropriation, he needs to get pissed at his parents for giving him a western name.

This same guy had an affinity for using the N word in tweets but he chalked that up to "Ignorance of his youth".

Idiots want us to accept their culture into ours while also still keeping it seperate.

It’s like “you can look but don’t touch” except more like “you HAVE to look, but don’t you dare touch.”

However, shouldn’t being excited to celebrate a part of another culture be seen as s compliment? I mean...this is just a pretty young woman in a dress. She’s not mocking anybody or walking around in blackface.


Exactly. If anything, this should be seen as a positive that she's educated enough to even want to wear a Chinese dress.

Six months ago I would have contested your statement. But, what you say is generally true.

So only a Chinese person can wear a Chinese dress? Gfy Jeremy. And don’t let me catch you wearing a cowboy hat.

Because progressives believe in segregation.

Isn't fashion sort of like cooking? Over time there are certain styles that will be incorporated into other style, etc?

The pattern might be Chinese culture, but did they show that much leg? And did she go to China town or somewhere to buy it or was it sold at a prom dress store? If so, he should be mad at the store who sold it and if that's HIS culture then maybe he should completely embrace his culture.. Because he looks like what he is wearing can be considered "American culture".

So she not only culturally appropriated a Chinese dress, but also a Jewish name? She needs to check her white privilege.

Of course after seeing Jeremy Lam's twitter profile, he's full SJW and is open about being a communist

Like Sarah or Elizabeth.

Keziah is too far and circles back to the same level as Hayden or Brayden.

I bet she looks even better WITHOUT the dress. But, she makes the dress look outstanding!
How could this be taken as "insulting" or "marginalizing" a culture?

Seems logical, that if she didn't like the look of the dress, she wouldn't have worn it...
