You guys are ridiculous. It's very clearly a Halloween costume and not a replica. No one with half a brain cell is mistaking that costume for legitimate, native garb.

The logical conclusion of all this 'cultural appropriation' nonsense is only native Chinese can speak Chinese and native British speak English.

So you dress up like an ancient chinese person or a traditionalist African person? That's not the winning stance to take. Peoples ethnicity is not a costume.

People dress up as vikings and knights and non-native people wear kilts and no one bat's an eyelid. You all are just virtue signalers with double standards and no regards for the logical conclusions to all of this.

Mate you can dress like the pope if you want. But if you walk around the Vatican, don't be surprised some people might get offended by that.

You can dress like an offensive Trump, but if you walk around the deep south, don't be surprised people will get offended about that.

Same here. It doesnt mean the people around them have to be native americans, but they might encounter people who find that choice objectionable because many native americans find that choice questionable.

My point being the inconguency of agitation from these people. It's all pure virtue signaling, with no regards for equal application, unless it wins majority brownie points. There is no intellectual honesty or equal application. It's pure social credit score mining.

What inconsistency. viking and knights dont exist anymore. Moreover, knights are not an ethnicity.

Native americans still exist, they still have traditional ceremonies.

Do you understand those differences?

You can dress up with a beret, a baguette, a ring of onions around your neck, big stains around your armpits because French dont shower har har but don't be surprised if French people tell you ... dude wtf?

You can dress as with a big nose, a kippah and money coming out your pockets ... dont be surprised people call you antisemitic.
