Bitch or not?.

No doubt, a woman you should never date. Marrying her is out of the question.

Hmmmmmm

I'm Jessika Kwan on this. Wearing the dress is showing appreciation, and the girl wears it well. But the bowing and praying posture is disrespectful.

 

[Madman]

Oh please, she looks cute! Good for her!

 

[Jessica Rain]

Dress is fine, the poses where .... tasteless... ish????

if she wasn't wearing the dress and was wearing the same style as everyone else, would the poses be an issue?

Cultural appropriation can kiss my ass! Worry about your own life and what you do and leave others to do what they want. Wearing the dress....even the bowing may be offensive to some but tough shit. Are we really going to allow every little thing that someone finds offensive to be banned? I find people who tell others how to live their lives to be offensive....so fuck off!

People want to claim the first amendment for cursing and talking shit about people who have differing opinions but then want to shut others down when they don't like what they have to say. This girl can wear what she wants and how she wants. Don't like it....don't look. Otherwise, get ready to dress like the Amish because you can find someone to be offended by almost anything!

are you chinese lol i agree with you to some degree.

i’m with jessica... and jessika. sure the bowing and prayer hands can mean other things but we’ll never know what this girl’s intent was when doing that pose or wearing a cheongsam/qipao.

I agree with Muckchelle on this one!!!
She obviously wore the dress for some reason but we don't know that reason. Perhaps she wore it out of respect for someone!
But "NO" we single out a pose or gesture and formulate our opinion on what is going on and chastise the girl and group for it without knowing the facts!
Perhaps her date was Chinese and he or she is the one taking the photo! Anyone ever think of that?
Its a group of kids at a Prom having what looks to e a great night.

Her friends beside her are doing the praying pose and not wearing the dress. I can't really articulate it, and I'm not even religious, but I do find the pose in the context of a prom photo and the silly smiles to be mocking and offensive.

A mock for sure, The Voice nailed it.

i doubt she knows the story behind the cheongsam bc most don’t, but here are some statements she was may be trying to make?

1. qipao with a slit = for sexworkers only (how fitting for this board hahahah maybe she’s an escort lol)
2. female empowerment = a male-only gov’t actually banned this dress a long time ago, but the girls said fuck it and wore it out anyway!
3. she wants to get married to a chinese person = bc this dress is only worn during marriages in this century.
4. she is 1/4 chinese but we can’t tell?? who knows.

if her intent was to humiliate or mock culture, then she shouldn’t be wearing it. i attended a wedding with a chinese man and white woman, she wore one and no one was against it bc it showed respect! chinese women wear traditional “western” white gowns too!

as for the pose.... no. maybe they were doing what they thought was a harmless millennial thing and copying drake’s 6ix god praying hands thing idk. but what kind of pose are the guys trying to do anyway? i’m not young enough to understand this crap lol shouldn’t have done it anyway.

Even if it is mocking.....who cares? It's not illegal to mock things.......yet.

no you’re right, it’s just rude.

Actually depending on the type of mocking and of what - it can be illegal.

When it comes to race, there is a legal fine line.

Can't see a bunch of white people going blackface at a BLM rally getting away without some type of arrest for something.

She looks good, where is the racist part?.

 

[Hoser]

Someone forgot to dress the dude.
