https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necktie#Origins

The modern necktie spread by Europe traces back to the time of the Thirty Years' War (16181648) when Croatian mercenaries from the Croatian Military Frontier in French service, wearing their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians.[2] Because of the slight difference between the Croatian word for Croats, Hrvati, and the French word, Croates, the garment gained the name "cravat" ("cravate" in French).[3] The boy-king Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat about 1646, when he was seven, and set the fashion for French nobility. This new article of clothing started a fashion craze in Europe; both men and women wore pieces of fabric around their necks. From its introduction by the French king, men wore lace cravats, or jabots, that took a large amount of time and effort to arrange. These cravats were often tied in place by cravat strings, arranged neatly and tied in a bow.

I mean, why don't people get offended by crippling student debts and shady insurance company practices instead of being offended by shit people wear?
---

Yes.

Japanese playing baseball is pretty culturally insensitive toward Americans as well.

I'm planning on crushing about 4 burritos tonight to show my hatred toward Mexicans.

Arabs are insensitive against Slavs for using AK47s so often.

Yes, and cultural appropriation is not a bad thing contrary to what sjws claim

Colored people cant be racist. White people cant experience racism. Yada yada.

"No because power + privilege + history + respect, they can't get by NOT wearing suits." and other generic nonsense racist SJW platitudes.

Using guns is cultural appropriation! The Chinese invented Gunpowder, therefore it is only theirs!

Literally more people outraged that people are outraged about this than people actually outraged about it.

I dont understand this question (it might be next level shitposting in response to a shitpost that was a response to TCs shitposting) so I'll redirect this question to a Chinese person like my good friend @YOUHAVENOHOPE

The difference being that we are told to wear neckties as a uniform for work, and for formal occasions. Also, did a Chinese civilization ever invade Croatia and colonized them?

This is quite nuts:

Last week, leftists at Cosmopolitan and REDBOOK claimed dressing your non-Pacific Islander daughter as Moana constituted an act of "cultural appropriation."

This week, they're claiming dressing your white children as Queen Elsa, the lead character in the Disney classic, Frozen, is similarly problematic because the costume reaffirms the notion of "white beauty."

Man, halloween is tough for white kids. I used to dress as a ninja somtimes when I was a kid but I assume that's a no go now.

They're literally right there in the page. Automatically dismissing wikipedia is just silly now.

I swear some people really arent able to just go outside for a breath of fresh air without finding something that upsets them and venting on a blog about it with all their pent up anger.

Pay no mind to those people. Just ignore them like everyone else is.

You have to go naked. Your costume must be a White guilt ridden scum who prostrates themselves at the feet of all minorities and await their judgement.

Actually you have to flay yourself because your white skin affirms white privileged so you cant have skin.

So you can go as a Torture victim for Halloween.

They consider any major media outlet as a reliable source. The article literally cites The Wall Street Journal, one of the most biased pieces of journalism out there. Now I know this is an article about necktie and it's not really that important but Wikipedia is not to be taken objectively especially when it comes to more serious issues.
