I am not going to tell others how they should feel. But I personally don't think the girl has done anything wrong.

Guess those of you who believe there was no cultural appropriation just skipped right over this photo...

Do these white kids even know what this move symbolizes?

Just as it is not about black restaurant owners making pizza, this is not about a dress. If those black pizza makers affected a cheesy (pun) Italian accent while making the pizza and everyone pretended they were roman senators - that would be different.

Only nutty people worry about this kind of stuff. Move and MYOB is the best course of action.

Cute pic. Maybe we can destroy their future careers over it? Find out what colleges they got accepted to and get their enrollments revoked? There was obviously no ill intent there, but hey why not? And why aren't we bashing their boyfriends for doing the fake gang signs? Let's destroy them too.

yeah, very cute. Positive message has been sent out as well.

They all look very happy and they all look like they are open to other beautiful culture. (Chinese culture is a beautiful culture.)

It is kind of sad that some people choose to see negativities in almost everything.

Glad she's not kowtowing to the idiocy.

Didn't know Yahoo still existed

Anyway, she looks good in it, and I doubt the Chinese have complained.
It's not like she painted her face black and wore an Afro wig
