Yup, for the rest of her life if you google her, this is what you'll see. And there is nothing she can do about it. I seriously doubt she is was the only white girl to wear a non-white dress to prom this year as well, which is my other problem with SJWs, it is completely random who gets attacked for no good reason.It's crap like this that causes liberals to lose elections and give ammo to the white nationalist groups.
It does matter as well. There are tons of people shitting on this poor girl for just buying a second hand dress trying to look hot for prom. This dumb shit will follow her for the rest of her life.
I work with a guy from Mexico named Ignacio. He is in his fifties and has gone by the nickname "Nacho" his entire life, it is a very common nickname for people named Ignacio in Mexico. He tells everyone at work to call him Nacho. Well some fucking white millennial, fresh from college, that hadn't ever worked with him, complained to HR that everyone was being racist towards him. Our boss told everyone they had to stop calling him Nacho. This really hurt his feelings, and it still upsets him months later. But that white kid can feel good about himself for stomping out racism that wasn't.
If anyone should be offended by these prom pics, it should really be this one.
WTF are they doing? Gang signs? Lamest gang ever. They pour 40s of 2% for their fallen homies.
IDK, maybe mystic Mormon symbology
Lame but not at all hard to believe. One of the older culture appropriation threads was linking a youtube video where this idiotic white girl is giving an uber driver shit over having a "hulu girl" statue on his dashboard. Claiming it was offensive to Polynesian people. The first thing that came to my mind is that they sell those knickknacks, along with other things like grass skirts and leis, in every gift shop in Hawaii, where the tourist trade is a huge part of their economy and undoubtedly supports a lot of jobs. I wonder how the average Hawaiian native would react to some entitled white airhead telling other white people they shouldn't be buying these things.
It is some h3h3 meme. Guys are doing vapenation sign, girls are doing papa bless. Seems to be popular with the kids.
I actually saw some of those offended claiming they were mocking Asians doing some stereotype Chinese pose.
Personally I hope more girls wear qipao, it looks good.
Yes, the Chinese call that that phenonmenon "baizuo"
So, here we have people backing up the idea that this was offensive, and many others that are on the Left saying no. A girl that, when googled will forever be associated with "racist".
Also, this sure seems to have turned into a discussion. Amazing how the OP was somehow trolling on a non topic, and yet it turned into a real thing. Either he is an amazing troll, or the people that attacked this are idiots. Really seems to be either or on that one.
Evangelicals had a cow claiming religious appropriation when Madonna released video Like A Prayer. In fact evangelicals often complain when people they consider "unsavory characters" use religious symbols.
Appropriation can be in the eye of the beholder
Evangelicals are also the biggest group of hypocrite whiners in the country.
The video for Katy Perry's track Dark Horse has been edited after it was accused of blasphemy.
Over 65,000 people had signed a petition to say the video was offensive to Muslims, specifically a scene in which Perry, styled as an Egyptian queen, turns a man wearing a pendant with the word "Allah" on it to dust by shooting him with lightning.
In response to the petition, the pendant appears to have been erased from the scene although it is unclear who ordered that changes be made to the video.
"The name of Allah has been removed from the Dark Horse video," wrote petition organiser Shazad Iqbal on Change.org. "We couldn't have done it without everyone's support so I thank each and every one of you deeply, our voices have been heard."
Saying he was "thrilled" with the outcome, he added: "I feel that the impact we have made and the total number of signatures obtained does convey just how worthy a cause this is, it is a significant step towards the right direction."
Perry, who first seized attention with her song I Kissed A Girl, is no stranger to controversy. Her song Ur So Gay attracted criticism from gay rights activist Peter Tatchell, and she broke with her Christian music background in order to pursue pop fame.
To date the Dark Horse video has attracted almost 40 million views on YouTube.
Looks to me like it's their way of giving the middle finger to people like Commodus.WTF are they doing?
Why can't it be both?
I disagree. I think it's "look at me, I'm hot in this dress." I see zero evidence of any thought past that.

I'm not that mad about this particular instance, but at the same time, "screw caring about other cultures" seems a pretty good summary of your worldview. I don't think it's right to pile on this girl for her choice, but the people who try really hard to defend her are the sort who tend to defend less excusable instances (say, the Cleveland Indians). To paraphrase Shakespeare, methinks they doth protest too much.
Two things wrong. First is that you don't care that much which means you do care about this instance which seems dumb. Second is wearing clothes from another culture in your opinion is saying "screw caring about other cultures".
Can you explain why you believe those, and or, how that is not an accurate way of reading what you said?
It's possible to care a bit without being wildly upset. That is: I think she should have paid attention to how this might have looked and chosen something else out of consideration, but nor am I breaking out the pitchforks (at least, not now -- my take on it has evolved somewhat).
And I was speaking more to DSF's general ideology than this specific instance. That is, it's not surprising he'd rush to defend this given his political leanings.

This has nothing to do with political leanings...it's about having a little common sense.And I was speaking more to DSF's general ideology than this specific instance. That is, it's not surprising he'd rush to defend this given his political leanings.
First thing I noticed. Just didn't want to be the first to say it.There is no way that chick is straight up white either.
NOT WITH A BOOTY LIKE THAT!

Maybe that's why the Asians are pissed /joke
So you are upset that she did not consider that people might be offended? People will be offended by almost anything, so that does not seem like an explanation. What about her wearing the dress is offensive?
The problem with this idea is it proposes that people constantly worry about who they might be offending. Rather than allow people to have legitimate interactions with others, and really get to know people, they are instead forced to just tiptoe around, engaging in shallow, meaningless conversations for fear that a lack of expertise in the detailed history of every possible ethnic and racial group could lead to offending someone. If we want people of diverse backgrounds to interact authentically and build real friendships and relationships, we can't propose people do a full analysis of every item of their wardrobe to examine the offense it might cause.
