Re: Qipao. Are. For. Everyone.

[(Anonymous)]

Not singling you out specifically, because I do think you’re coming from a good place. But there is nothing wrong with wearing non-ceremonial clothing from another culture. The very small minority of Asian Americans who have issues with it are generally working through issues over how they relate to their own ethnic heritage that are bleeding over into how other people relate to it. Anons above and below you are right that it is almost always white people who try to claim otherwise, which is not surprising considering that the argument originally came from people whose response to “quit using our sacred objects/practices as party games” was “well then I guess we can’t eat tacos or sushi anymore either or we’ll be arrested by the PC police!” It has been so frustrating to see racist counterarguments be embraced by people who mean well and don’t know any better. But think about it. If a white person can walk into Chinatown and buy a qipao from multiple clothing stores with no argument , wearing the qipao is probably not the culturally fraught issue that you think it is.
