How is it cultural appropriation? Chipao is considered formal wear. Not like she was claiming it is Western origin or something like that.
She is not Asian and as such, is using Asian culture for her own benefit.

How is this post concern trolling? People are going nuts on Twitter over appropriation over a prom dress and this isn't the first time. I think it is a valid conversation to have.It's pretty simple: concern trolling is shitty behavior so it's reasonable for people to say 'you're acting shitty'. The idea that people should not be criticized for their behavior is baffling to me.
I thought the goal of trolling, concern or any other, is to get an emotional reaction. Are you not simply playing the puppet at that point? It would seem to give the troll what was desired and have no effect in stopping the troll. What is the benefit and or goal with the response that the people gave?

Based on some of the Twitter posts I read Western people, especially white people, have no culture, so it isn't appropriation. But anything whites use from others is appropriation because everything in non-white cultures is sacred.So Asians can't wear Western clothing? Stupid asses.
So is cultural appropriation something one should be offended over? It seems to keep creeping back up as an issue, is it a legitimate one in yalls opinion?
And this is why SJWs have earned such a bad reputation, and this has happened outside of Twitter as well. The Yale protests a couple years ago come to mind.People go nuts on Twitter all the time about stupid things and it's completely meaningless. I don't think the OP actually cares what some idiots on Twitter are whining about for one second.

Cultural appropriation is a concept in sociology dealing with the adoption of the elements of a minority culture by members of the dominant culture.[1][2][3] It is distinguished from equal cultural exchange due to the presence of a colonial element and imbalance of power.[4][3] Cultural appropriation is often portrayed as harmful in contemporary cultures, and is claimed to be a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating, minority cultures, notably indigenous cultures and those living under colonial rule.[2][5][6] Often unavoidable when multiple cultures come together, cultural appropriation can include using other cultures' cultural and religious traditions, fashion, symbols, language, and songs.[7][8][9]

I normally hate the reverse racism card, but I don't see how those beliefs aren't reverse racism. If nothing else it is anti-diversity.
How have I policed anyone? I do not understand so I asked a general question as to why. Did you make something up in your head that did not happen?
I wouldn't frame it as censorship. But there's more than a few people here who do nothing but thread-crap and contribute nothing to discussion in this forum. It would be one thing for this behavior to be occasional (I'm all about cutting people a little slack as I despise a police state mentality), but it's quite another thing to allow this kind of toxic behavior to run rampant without consequence.Well why censor? If the position is that people are too sensitive to others, then, shutting up those people is just the other side of the coin no?
I have no interest in this 'who, me?' nonsense. Your post obviously implicitly criticized their decision to criticize the OP. I'm not posting on this anymore because it's dumb.

That is retarded. Cultural appropriation is when the Hudson Bay company sells a sweater with first nation (Cowichan) design during the Vancouver Olympics without acknowledging it nor compensating the band.
When the Chinese steal our intellectual property and profit from reselling it that is appropriation by theft.So would it be better if dreadlocks were still looked down on? Or is it good that they became acceptable in the main stream? The music I can understand if they stole the actual songs or parts of them, but all music grows from each other. So Elivis listened to black gospel and early rock, he liked it and started singing it himself. It's not his fault he took off, but it ended up helping many black artists as well.
Why are you not offended by Asian cultures stealing from Western cultures?
Having a relatively civil framework for discussion in a discussion forum is not censorship in my opinion....it's responsible governance. I don't mind people here saying another is an idiot (in fact, I like this freedom)...but they need to at least explain why they hold that opinion. Too much low IQ tribalism and drive-by booger flingings imo. Looks like we'll just have to disagree on this one.It would literally be censorship. You feel people are not contributing to what you believe is a productive discussion so you do not want them to talk here.
You are probably right that there are people that do that, but, as a general rule I don't think its good to do. Depending on where the power is distributed, you would get people censoring anyone they disagree with.
... Stop reinventing words.That is not the definition though.
