How does it affect you? Why canât you just try to understand and show respect? Theyâre trying to educate, not to cancel anyone.  You missed the point and the complete context of it Regardless it is relevant, because the way "twitter culture" works as a whole. No one is saying the people who are bringing the education of their culture is wrong here, hope you understand that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCgaga 4,133 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Here we go with âcultural appropriationâ again. Everyone in the world is guilty of Cultural appropriation, but people only get upset if a white person does it.  The world is a global community- not one person on this earth has the right to tell another person what they can and cannot wear. PERIOD. There is a difference between mocking and appreciating. Asia has been appreciating  innovations and fashion from modern American and it western culture for decades but thatâs not a problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret 2,312 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I really donât get it sorry. I am a 100% for respecting all cultures but this is too far imo. Italian people donât get offended if the rest of the world cooks pasta in the wrong way or eat pizza with pineapple on it (people joke about it here but I swear no one would get serious about it). (Stupid but hopefully clear example) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 10,338 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Ok instead of debating appropriation vs not let's just say it's a disrespectful way to wear this particular piece of clothing. To wear it like Princess Leia-lite is the exact opposite of its intention  that's a bit ignorant and kind of tasteless imo. I'm not saying she's the devil incarnate or a racist, but this was just an ignorant mistake. They happen because, who knew, we aren't beings with unlimited wells of knowledge. Good incident to acknowledge, good to move on, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're totally right about this, this is the main problem. People are too obsessed with America. They seem to forget the everyday reality for people around the world is not centred around what's happening in the USA... To us our cultures are just something normal and everyday. It's not like I personally can claim ownership to my entire country's traditions and culture - so seeing an American celebrity wear/use it really isn't a big deal to most people.

gag 22,449 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Iâm Vietnamese, born and raised in Vietnam, so might as well give my two cents. This is eye roll worthy but thatâs all there is to it. Not malicious but definitely a case of misappropriation when someone isnât educated in another culture. People wouldâve been thrilled if she hadnât taken the costume out of context and sexualised it. Doing so just taps into the long history of Western âyellow feverâ and perpetuates the stereotype of Asian (esp. Southeast Asian women) being exotic, hyper-sexual âgeishasâ or whatever. headspin, happiness, DE̤̣A̢̯ÍĚTÍÍĚĚĚŤHÍĄÍ ĚĚ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
