Cultural appropriation outrage.

Roger Hassenforder

Tossers showcasing themselves in the latest cultural appropriation/woke row over on twitter. Some young one wore a "dress" to her prom.
Cue outrage...

The dress is fine.

You'd swear she had 'yellowed up' and wore a lampshade on her head with the level of outrage.

Why not though. Where are the lines here ? I honestly don’t get the difference between wearing clothes from, and eating food from another culture.

I genuinely have no idea why one is offensive and the other isn’t. Am I missing something obvious ?

Yes, the obvious thing is that this cultural misappropriation nonsense is complete and utter horsesh1t. The history of mankind is a history of sharing, learning, borrowing everything from technologies to food and cuisine, medicines and clothing and hairstyles. It's how we learn from each other and progress.

The idiots who want to turn this concept on its head and weaponise it to use as a stick to beat people with are just malignant half-wits who are best ignored, in much the same way as you'd ignore the provocative slurrings of a drunk...and for similar reasons.

More nonsense from the idiot left. Hopefully PJW or Dave Cullen will destroy these idiots on their next video.

In my experience this is always an X-American thing, i.e. Chinese-Americans might complain, but people from China don't care (just as we don't care when they wear western clothes). However, as somebody mentioned above, how much of this is really going on in Ireland? I don't think I've ever encountered this in real life, outside of some young people in college, who still don't do it as much as Americans and practically stop on leaving college.

It's usually something done by teens and people in their 20s, in my opinion. Times are changing though. I would have gotten bullied for bringing in my lunch because it was 'different' but now it's trendy or whatever. I don't really care. I tend to stick to certain groups anyway.

Trouble is they are hard to ignore when they are becoming leaders of countries like this King Prawn Clown

I wore one of these to my debs back in y2k.

But look how much he's grown. He apologised to a black girl for calling her a nigger.

And now he's making the world a better place by searching Twitter for girls wearing Chinese dresses and retweeting them. He probably gives himself a good tug over the pictures first but a hero like this deserves some kind of reward for devoting his time to such a worthy cause.

Wibbs

Have an oul gander at him in all his "glory".

Other than him there isn't a single effing thing in that pic that's culturally Chinese, and from what I can gather he's American, and using the English language(well when I say using...). The thunderous twat. He has a very punchable face, though it also looks like someone got there ahead of me.

Irish Guitarist

His profile picture is evidence that he's having a good old tug at these pictures before retweeting them. Look at those hands.

Indeed Wibbs.

No way anyone would give that Dong an El Camino.

He’s beyond redemption.

2) This isn't America, I wish we weren't constantly discussing identity politics and culture wars on this board.

I wish some Americans would come on here and tell us to stop appropriating their cultural appropriation culture.

Just look at this happy Chinese couple enjoying their day out racist culturally appropriating bastards! >-<

Or this apparently friendly waving leader of the Chinese nation,

the western suit and tie appropriating cunt. I say we riot and break out the opium and gunships. There may be feasting on goo.

Yet another reason I don't do Twatter. I'd be banned within 12 hours.

I’ve been banned from Twitter for a week for saying “ while I would use whatever pronoun they want and I truly wish transgender people happiness I find it difficult to ignore biology.

Another muppet on Twitter just Peking for a fight!

Defunkd

Well, he's getting his 5mins of fame; getting frontpage on imgur or reddit and will be a hashtag handle on twitter until the next righteous cause comes along. In a few days/weeks, this coolie will slide back to obscurity and good-riddance. I'd understand his outrage if she was mocking chinks by wearing the dress but she wasn't. She looks quite tasty.

Seriously, the poor girl. Calling someone racist is a very strong accusation.

It's just **** on Twitter, you're better off not posting pictures of yourself except to friends and family.

"Chinese" actually you sexist git.

metaoblivia

This sort of crap pisses me off. If you go through the replies, plenty of Chinese people are saying she looks beautiful and they're not offended at all. And yet other people - usually Americans - are saying she doesn't understand the history of the dress and that she would need permission from several different Chinese people before being allowed to wear it. First of all, how do they know she doesn't understand the history of the dress? And as for asking for permission, that's completely ridiculous, although it looks like she had plenty of permission from actual Chinese people. And what, she's supposed to post a picture with a complete history of the dress along with the names of every Chinese person who gave her permission? It's laughable.

That's the thing, people who have a problem with this kind of stuff are usually not Chinese but rather Americans with Asian origins. So it's purely an American problem and a consequence of hardcore multiculturalism whereby people are all assigned to a minority group defined by ethnicity rather than being seen first and foremost as belonging to the same common nation; and you end up with some of those people becoming confused/racist when they see someone who doesn't belong to their ethnic group wearing something they feel belong to "their" culture (whereby ironically they define cultural appartenance purely based on ethnicity and physical appearance).

I think cultural appropriation is disgraceful.

As a people we endured oppression from the British Empire for hundreds of years, and survived famines, chunky knitwear was at times most likely all that stood between us and death. My great great great great great grand daddy died on a coffin ship. Not because he starved, or had scurvy, but because he left his aran jumper at home and yet would ya look at these fools..........

Survived? SURVIVED? Not many. And those are NOT traditional Aran jerseys. They are a modern distortion of the style... Not the same at all, at all.
Bastardised.

And they are not 'chunky"either!l :rolleyes:
