There was one time a fan from China or Taiwan sent him a letter and his response was essentially
"China, huh? I love Chinese women, especially when they're wearing them cheongsams OH BOY :awooga:"
The dude is horny
Like, he ain't wrong.
But one thing always gets me. Every time I'm with a white woman and we're watching some East Asian movie or at an event sponsored by a non-European social group, they always look at the clothing of foreign women and express intense jealousy. I can't count the number of times I've heard someone say "I wish I could wear a Chinese / Indian dress for my wedding".
And all I can do is scream in the back of my head "You absolutely can! Release yourself from ethnic norms! Embrace foreign fashion! Its all good!"
Cheongsams are fucking fire. Saris look incredible. Yoruba are so damned colorful and bright. Reject Macy's Thought. Dress like you're not from around here.
I can very easily imagine a photo of a bunch of white Americans dressed in Chinese clothing for a wedding being mercilessly dunked on here
I can very easily imagine a photo of a bunch of white Americans dressed in khakis and polos for a wedding being mercilessly dunked on here. The bar for dunking is low.
I 100% saw this on this site last year. We need to understand that engaging in other cultures, and even transforming them, is cool, not cringe.
Yes, cultural appropriation is a problem, but only when you're grossly misunderstanding or cheapening culture, typically deliberately for personal gain and/or profit.
