So true. For example this;

ttp://blasianlego.tumblr.com/post/18994456574/wafrica-african-kimonos

Kimonos made from kente cloth and worn by African models.

The response? Praise. Praise. Praise.

Try to see if you would get the same response if the kimonos were made from tartan patterned cloth and the models were all pale redheads.

Its a shame because these kimonos DO look amazing.

But no wonder the reaction from Scottish people wearing kimonos would be horrible... hell, even if white people wears Lolita is appropriative - http://thisisnotjapan.tumblr.com/post/58464369281/psst-japanese-lolita-is-based-off-of-victorian-and

...who the hell is 'forcing' Victorian and Roccoco style on POC? And who says it was 'meant to be consumed'? What does that even mean?

I love stuff like this. It's so cool.

The description says the collection is a collaboration between this Cameroonian guy, who lives in Japan, and a Japanese kimono maker. Seems less like cultural appropriation and more like people bringing their cultures to each other.

Which is often what others do when they get called out for it. A friend of mine went to an indian wedding and was given a sari by the family to wear to the event. She posted a pic online and got called a culture-appropriating racist because she was white. When she defended herself people told her that just cause some people are okay with it doesn't mean everyone does, so she's still a terrible person etc.

Yes, how dare she have actual manners and stuff. SIGH

Yeah it's great. I have a few friends from college (Japanese studies) who spent some time in Japan and were given a kimono to wear to certain occasions. How rude would it be to go "Nah, sorry, I won't wear it because you would make me approppriate your culture~". Another friend works at the counter for a Japanese airline and on some occasions (big Japanese holidays and stuff), all workers were required to wear kimono. And don't forget the tourists in Japanese Ryokan - you can't just go prancing around the hotel in your own fluffy bathrobe when its custom to wear the house's own Yukata.

I never get why people actually take this nonsense from prissy better-than-thou SJWs on the internet. Tell them to go fuck themselves with the lego they just stood on.
