Exactly

I wonder why she took the interview. Does she need to feel that she is accepted? </psychology>

Aside: It was interesting watching her facial expressions in slow-mo.
Her answer to the last question at 3:52 sounded like a beauty pageant contestant's.

Utah teen shamed over 'racist' prom dress wins praise in China

quote:
“Very elegant and beautiful! Really don’t understand the people who are against her, they are wrong!” a supporter chimed in of the cheongsam, otherwise known as a qiapo. “I suggest the Chinese government, state television or fashion company invite her to China to display her cheongsam!”

“It is not cultural theft. It is cultural appreciation and cultural respect,” another agreed.

According to the Post, Daum’s story has been making waves across Weibo, a Twitter-like platform popular in China.

“Culture has no borders. There is no problem, as long as there is no malice or deliberate maligning. Chinese cultural treasures are worth spreading all over the world,” one user mused.
Ha freaking ha


Now, you whiny millenial twerps were saying? Razz


As noted in the article, this was a show of cultural appreciation, there was no malice. I wonder, does the accuser take the liberal kool-aid orally or IV, is it a normal dose of kool-aid or industrial strength? It would seem the motivation is to stir up stink where no stink exists, something liberals are quite good at.

Getting "offended" for offense's sake. It's gone the way of the terms "racist" and "racism".

ETA:
This young lady looked gorgeous in that dress and those casting aspersions are sure to be exhibiting jealousy.

I have never heard of a kool-aid enema, but it might explain some of the liberal mindset.

Had a funny conversation with Mrs. ShneaSIG about this one (Mrs. ShneaSIG is Chinese):

"Hey, Mrs. ShneaSIG, some white teenager wore a qipao to prom and some snowflakes are losing their minds."


"Really? What idiots!"

Oh, by the way, which one's "Pink?"

This should be the response to PC bullying, every time. Basically: Fuck off!

Regardless of the author, it is dead nuts ON!

Good for her to recognize that and post it... She'll survive nicely in this mixed up world, I'll wager! It appears the me that she has her head on pretty damn straight at the moment.

Good for her.

Here’s my granddaughter. Let’s see how many people she can offend.





Not minority enough!

Beautiful!



I don’t get these ignorant people. It’s the 21st century. We need to become just the human race.

I was in NC with my exwife (white) and our two kids to visit my oldest son (asian/black) and his wife (black/white) and their daughter (pictured earlier) and when we took her out without my son or his wife (giving them a break), no one gave us a second look, even with my granddaughter dressed that way.

Some folks just look for a reason to "be offended" as if it's their badge of honor.


That picture is from last week when we were in China, visiting our overseas family. From the reactions of the other Chinese people in the park, they thought my daughter was very cute, and told us as much, being very kind to us and her and even some snapping their own photos.

Stupid snowflakes!

Maybe for some (like liberals), claiming to be offended is the only game they have. Roll Eyes
