Okay then what does it have to do with? What qualifies as cultural appropriation?

To me it’s another example of a white woman taking something from a woman of color and getting accolades for it, when women of color are under represented and people who look like Karlie Kloss are represented in spades

The repeated erasure of actual POC from depictions of their culture is racist. And I don’t understand parsing words in that way. A system of racial oppression can absolutely be referred to as racism. The same way a system of oppressing an entire gender is sexism.

It’s not just the kimono, it’s the whole outfit - Kimono, wig, makup. Along with the makeup and affect. That is yellow face.

What part of dressing a white woman up and presenting her as a geisha, as a Japanese woman, isn’t yellowface?

Racism is not just the belief that a race is beneath yours. It’s a system of oppression. Cultural appropriation is racist. And it’s one thing to think a kimono is hip, it’s another to dress up and situate yourself in a culture that is not your own. This is especially egregious now because there is a wealth of…

I don’t know. Thinking another race’s culture is yours for the taking kind of implies that you think their people are beneath you.

Yellowface. Is. Racist.

“not culturally sensitive”

lol, you’re such a gaslighting fuck.

Which slaves picked cotton again?

Holden, you have a history of doing this. Jumping into the comments on stories about race (or violent crimes against women) and claiming that they’re false. You’ve reposted/spammed your own comment here at least 5 other times, to others who are commenting on this story.

There’s video, troll-pants. Here’s another copy of the same assignment.

You could read the link, watch the video, see the woman holding the assignment being interviewed.

Hey Holden, remember when you made up shit to defend a rapist? Remember when you literally just made shit up and lied in comments about a rapist being innocent? I remember that. I can link you, if you want? But I’m pretty sure you know what you’re doing, seeing as you only call “bullshit” on racism and men who rape.

Well, there is a huge overlap on the Venn Diagrams of “People Who Are Racist” and “People Who Are Not Very Smart”.

Betsy DeVos must have written the question.

Are you shocked? Most overt racists are in fact complete morons.

White people. Who else?

Baby, those are overtones. Third or fourth order at a minimum. There’s not a damned thing under about those tones.
