Scenario:
There are four girls at a Halloween party: one white British, one Asian British (of Chinese ancestry), one white German, and one Japanese. The white British and Asian British girls are both dressed as geishas, the German is dressed in a kilt, and the Japanese girl is dressed in Lederhosen.
So which of these costumes is an example of ‘problematic’ cultural appropriation?
The white girl in the geisha costume, right? Because let’s be real; she’s the only one that’s going to get a shaming from the PC police. But why not the others? All of them are appropriating attire from foreign cultures that aren’t their own. However, it seems it is perfectly okay to wear costumes inspired by foreign cultures, just as long as those cultures are European/North American, or as long as you’re not white.
There is a huge logical inconsistency here which surrounds the concept of ‘cultural appropriation’ every year on Halloween, which oddly seems to be based more on race than cultural background. Either all of them should be okay, or none of them. Do you agree?

No no, guilt is strictly reserved for whites only. Because of reasons.

Because libtards decided that cowboys and indians is the same as dressing up as a KKK member, and that dressing as a pirate means you are supporting piracy in Somalia.
