What would be wrong with that?

Chinese women wear Western wedding gowns to their wedding ceremonies and receptions and Japanese couples even pay white men to pose as priests and pastors and conduct fake Christian wedding services in chapels all over Japan and the Far East.

What is possibly wrong about wearing a qipao or cheongsam for Halloween?

Let's be honest. In leftist bizzaro world, his racist tweets aren't racist, because he is a person of color who happens to be an extreme liberal social justice warrior.

The initial defense for his use of the N word was that it was years ago...now we have tweets of his from THIS YEAR where he uses the N word (to criticize black people) and you still have liberal whackos defending his use of the N word, because he isn't a "colonizer."

The irony is, he isn't much different than a colonizer. He immigrates to America and then starts telling Americans what they can and can't wear to prom.

This idiot moved to America as an immigrant...presumably to at least partake in our culture - to go from a cultural outsider to an insider.

This idiot preaches "diversity" and "tolerance" all while writing racist tweets about blacks and whites.

This idiot supports multiculturalism and globalism while not wanting his culture to spread globally to other cultures - except the parts that he wants, which excludes dresses.

My understanding is that the hand gestures are a reference to Ethan Klein @h3h3productions and the boys are doing “vape nation” and the girls are doing “papa bless”.

The poses are thus apparently not in any way mocking another race or culture.

I chose 20 responses per page, so I'm only on 12.

If your daughter was born and raised in America and does not speak Chinese and does not follow Chinese cultural customs, then, she is not really half Chinese. She's just part ethnically Chinese.

I know that may come across as incredibly assuming, on my part, and if I am wrong in my assumption re your daughter, please accept my apology. But, I have seen so many ABCs over the years who come to China moaning about racism and cultural insensitivity in America, only to get woke to what real racism and cultural insensitivity is when met by the same from real Chinese people who mock them for not being really Chinese.

Racism is the belief that a person's race/ethnicity determines his/her character and intelligence and behavior.

Well, they fed Asians from mainland Asia the same food and they liked it.
Haha! My Chinese wife loves a lot of American Chinese food. She knows that it is not usually authentic. But, she finds it interesting!

In essence, you are kind of letting them represent your whole party, even if you don't agree with them.
Plenty have on this thread and on social media.

This whole little story shouldn't be a thing. It became a thing because some conservatives jumped on it.

There is no law that says liberals now have to prove to conservatives that they think this is issue is a non-issue.

That's so ridiculous.

Here is my take on how idiotic these liberal asswipes are. In liberal land if you think or identify as a woman or a man you are one. What if this girl identifies as an Asian? Rachael Doltzhead said she identified as black and darkened her skin and took a job with the NdoubleLCP. These people really are crazy. They are children being lead by idiots
