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

Well you just acknowledged that the experience of Japanese-Americans is different from that of a non-Japanese person living in Japan and wearing/doing those things in the context of assimilation or acceptance. And since this happened in American Vogue, mostly available to Americans (though I get issues are made…

yeah good job finding a token sorta-darkish person.

Am I the only one to notice that people who like to call others “snowflakes”are the ones that have fragilest egos on the planet?

Crippled loser.

I star this because of the genius because the thought makes me cringe. That fucking song was so overplayed that I twitch and scream No and change the station to this day when I hear it on the radio. Same goes for fucking “I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing.”

They thought they could distract you with that huge spectrum of skin tones from dark pink to very light brown.

Abott wants the NFL to get out of politics, yet he refuses to get out of women’s bodies, public bathrooms and people’s bedrooms. He can go fuck himself

And just wait until she finds her Rob Thomas. Car wash waiting rooms will never be the same.

Yes, the upper levels should be raked for this. No, Karlie should also get raked. If she were truly “sorry” she should donate at least a portion of her fees.

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…

That is diversity. Dressing up white people as other races? White people can have it all!

“[Karlie Kloss] appeared in the pages of Vogue’s diversity issue dressed like a geisha.”

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.

This isn’t Karlie’s first fuck up. She wore a war bonnet in a VS show and had to apologize for that too. At a certain point, it becomes clear whether a person has an internal compass for racial sensitivity or not. With Karlie, well meaning though she may be, I’m leaning toward “or not.” It’s not exactly surprising.…

Carlos Santana has spent the last 20+ years making tasteful, expensively produced, profoundly boring music for people who don’t really like music but enjoy shopping and wine. In Adele, he recognizes a kindred spirit.

If you don’t think Beyoncé can sing, my apologies for your lack of taste or deafness.

Yellowface. Is. Racist.
