Yet another case of 'woke culture' polluting the minds of people with way too much time on their hands.

A Dallas-based company that sells redesigned mahjong tiles has apologized after it was accused of cultural appropriation by social media users.

The Mahjong Line -- founded in November by Kate LaGere and two friends -- has replaced some traditional Chinese characters and symbols with pictures of cherries and lightning bolts on brightly colored tiles.

However, many people were particularly troubled by the company’s website, where the founders explained how they were inspired to give the ancient Chinese game a "respectful refresh."

The Twitter user who posted the screenshot also included a comment of his own.

"My culture is one of the oldest civilizations in the world," he wrote. "It is a product of thousands of years of tradition and history. My culture [is] not some cheap coloring book that can be filled-in and be ‘made pretty’ by the standards of privileged teenyboppers."

If you're non-white and using the internet, then you need to apologize for culturally appropriating a white technology!
