| Topic | Got accused of cultural appropriation today due to my daughters dresse. |

Everyone thinks it is a good thing and no one has ever even been able to understand what cultural appropriation is if I try to explain it (including my wife, she compared it to Han nationalism where you think other cultures' clothes are interior so you shouldn't wear them). I think a lot of people have confused wearing clothes in a mocking or insulting way with simply wearing clothes. The locals in China loved seeing my daughter dressed up in their clothes. She has another similar one which is red (got it for Spring Festival last year) and people were stopping to take pictures and selfies with her. I doubt a Chinese person would ever be offended by it unless it was somehow being used as a mockery or caricature. It always seems to be middle to upper middle class white people who get offended on behalf of other people and I'm saying that as middle class white guy. --- How can one person post so much stupid s***? ...
