Do you guys actually believe this dogmatic crap or are you just trying to look enlightened? Marginalized? Chinese people earn more than even your favourite boogeymen, the beneficiaries of all the rampant systemic racism that supposedly exists, white men. Cultural appropriation is the dumbest issue that's ever been conjured up, better tell everyone who's non white to stop wearing suits and ties.

Agreed.
But honestly, not sure how many times cultural appropriation can be explained and that explanation then get used as some evidence as full, 100% validation and support of it’s usage. You guys are being kind of ridiculously triggered here.
If people explain the reason someone murdered someone, nobody jumps down their throat and says “How dare you justify that murder! You’re supporting murder? You are ridiculous!”
No, instead people just nod along, realising that explaining the motive of the murderer is not, actually, the same as justifying it. And we all agree that their motive is bad, because despite however it may sound, the end result was bad and unecessary.
Considering there hasn’t been a single comment negative comment suggesting the girl in the dress was wrong, or that it was even a GOOD, justifiable example of cultural appropriation, then you guys are unecessarily triggered. Again, nothing wrong with what the girl was doing, and pointing out the dots other people connect is not the same as supporting that connection.
