I remember seeing a child have a japanese themed birthday. Some white person was giving off to her parents for cultural appropriation while Japanese people were flattered
Found it
She's wearing chopsticks in her hair which is generally frowned upon. She could've used a broach or a traditional kansashi instead which would've made her look more elegant.
What a scrub, git gud kid
I love this
I'm more concerned that they're dressing their kid up to look like what is essentially a member of an escort service (albeit a traditional one) than that they're appropriating Japanese culture.
Of course it was Tumblr
It turned out that although she looked white and her parents looked white, her extended family was actually asian. So it wasn't even appropiation to begin with.
Still everyone needs to chill, my fellow honkeys, please stop getting offended on behalf of others. Playing the role of the "White Savior" comes off as more bigoted than progressive.
I saw a The Onion video where a white woman pledged to never say a word that began with the letter N. Not only the N word, all N words.
"I was shouted down for wearing black facepaint and white lipstick, so why does Tom get to wear a kimono?"
Ahh… The Onion, my favorite, most reliable, 100% not parodic news outlet
Yes, The Onion is satire, but we're talking about the idea The Onion was satirizing.
I want a Green Hat that says "Make The Onion Satirical Again"
"whites"
Point taken, reworded it
please stop getting offended on behalf of others
You, and the rest of the posters on here, completely misunderstand. I, a white guy, don't get offended "on behalf of others" - the fact that white people have to constantly reference other cultures because we sterilized and sacrificed our own for the sake of white supremacism and "westernism" so long ago is offensive, period.
