What if the models identify as black though? Didn't think of that did they, the racists.

I don't think any of them do or have spoken out about identifying as black.
Most of the models in response to the controversy would probably just state 'it wasn't my fault, I was told to wear it' or just remain silent.

I would not expect them to, I am simply being facetious.

Why? This is clearly a discussion about "cultural appropriation", not the Spring/Summer 2017 collection.

Lol, what a stupid comparison. Clothing is personal to a culture. A mobile phone, an airplane and the internet have nothing to do with culture. People don't get persecuted because they use a phone, people do however get looked down on by the white, dominant race which steals from cultures because suddenly they're fashionable and the cool thing to wear, e.g. wearing dreads or a bindi to a festival.

I bet people who appropriate my culture don't even understand the significance of the bindi, yet wear it for a certain look and still remain ignorant.

Wow.

PS: I suggest you read Edward Said's 'Orientalism'


They were each invented by white males who contributed significantly to Western culture. They are far more noteworthy than a hairstyle or a fashion trend. 'Whites steal from cultures' lmao

Dreads are disgusting and bindis are primarily religious so I don't see the point in following either trend. How far do you want to take it? Stop minorities from eating fish and chips as it appropriates British culture? Or wearing suits?

I wish this entire cultural appropriation meme would die

I don't think you understand.

People don't get persecuted by for using the internet, mobile phones or aeroplanes.

How clear can I get?

PS, dreads and bindi's are not 'trends'

Educate yourself please, you sound like a laughing stock.

The part in bold is the exact point that he is making, that going by your logic black people should be scrutinised for using the internet/mobile phones/aeroplanes as they were invented by white people and are a part of Western culture.

Mozart's right. Did that go over your head?

Dreads and bindis are certainly trends for those who have adopted them.

You should change your perspective before you make yourself sound dense again.
