If only japanese can wear kimonos, then only japanese can eat sushi. But instead of restricting our taste, we can stop getting offended and start being happy that our culture is spreading.
That's fact. I am Chinese and I do not find this racist or offensive in any way. The person that commented this was a Japanese attire, that was absolutely hilarious. Shows to me you know nothing. Time for him to learn.
That's the problem. These ethnic attires were used to mock Asians. They would also add the gong sound whenever a typical chinese person would enter the scene in movies. It's like asking black Africans who had never understood American racism if they get offended by the word Nigg*r.
China kicks ass every single day for thousands of years. Soon your country will subjugate mine, and that is sad for me, but the Chinese people deserve our affluence a lot more than we do.
@@finnaplow Your future Chinese overlords will not be from Hong Kong. They will be CCP from Beijing....it would be like if the Axis Powers won WW II. Don't think you would enjoy that. Plus, the CCP steals vast amounts of wealth from the Chinese people.
American manufacturing and textile industries sold out America and gave themselves to China as a result we have urban and suburban poverty that never existed before and the social problems that go along with it and both Dems and Reps are to blame for this.
@Russell Smith I mean it kinda is when you have white nationalists praisimg for an all white country( culturally and visually) yet love to eat and use cultural foods and things from different places. Thats just being hypocritical
cultural appropriation is an American concept. People in America care so much because there is a lot of racism and prejudice in its past. The thing is, a lot of countries were colonized and affected by imperialism like India, Australia, and China. The only difference is that most people in these nations don't let things that happened over a century ago affect how they feel today. When they see someone wearing traditional garments they take it initially as flattery because we are no longer in a time where people had to protect their culture from being wiped out. The world isn't as black and white anymore.
yep im an American and i study overseas and when I wear the cultural dresses of the people here they all say i look beautiful in it and tell me to wear it more because i look good in it. they see it as appreciation while our woke society in America sees it as appropriation which is ridiculous
I went to a party wearing the thobe (Arabic men clothing) and someone told me that is disrespectful to the incident (you know what I'm talking about.) The worse part about it was I was an Arab 💀
Unfortunately, woke people will always want to dig up the past and shove in people's faces how racist they are for doing the simplest, most harmless thing.
She was the only reasonable person in that campus. Think about it! There's something really messed up with a large number of people in the american society
I was in college 2004 - 2006 We all did costumes all the time This shit they're saying never even crossed our minds Only debates we cared about were Beer or rum? Road trip or campout? Pubcrawl or house party? Bonfire or beach? Costume party or masquerade? Movie nights or hangover hair of the dog? Only safe spaces we ever even thought about were safe spaces for the booze so it wouldn't be knocked over
Dude, we love tourists wearing hawaiian t-shirts! We wear them all the time too, but our ancestors culture is not hawaiian t-shirts. Hawaiian t-shirts originated from white culture and was brought to Hawaii anyways. My favorite thing is when I first came to the mainland EVERYONE asked me if I walked around barefoot and wore coconut bras, it was pretty funny.
Lol for some reason white people think that by visiting certain ethnic areas and speaking couple of phrases in foreign languages that they prove themselves as multicultural and tolerance. Haha no dawg.
We love to sell our cultural costumes because it makes money. This is not cultural appropriation, it is spreading our culture. Americans sell cowboy costumes and others american costumes. If nobody buys costumes, costume prices will raise and no one will wear them anymore.
@@bige2576 Well, YOU tell us the secret then, smart guy. I bet you're as multicultural & tolerant as Larry the Cable Guy. Another dip shit with a big fat mouth... like a fish.
I think that Mr. Will Witt could have asked the Left's hostile racists if buying chinese-made products "is cultural appropriation too"?! Plus, if the black women and men who straighten their hairs _(and even paint themselves as blonds)_ and chop-off their huge noses in order to try to look westerner, "is cultural appropriation too"? What about Michael Jackson doing all sorts of cosmetic surgeries to look white etc??
after watching this video, i asked my Chinese mom: “Do you find a non Chinese wearing a qipao(traditional Chinese cloths) disrespectful?” she started laughing and said “how in the world is that offensive? They must think its beautiful!” and i laughed with her. its interesting to see the people who actually get mad at cultural “appropriation” arent even the ones in the culture.
they just want to convince us that we should not perceive humans as humans but should divide them into races and not accept anything from another race in order to prevent interbreeding we learn from it not better to live together but rather to divide us further and that is sad
Bro im hispanic but always loved the chinese tradition and Japanese due to martial arts food and other aspects hell thanks to kung fu i learned tae kwon do i know not in the same culture but still expanded my horizon.....i ended up getting a wushu uniform for trainin in my spare time plus its comfy ....i never understood why this is bad....personally i think its fine as long as their not being shitheads lol its crazy
I’m an arab and when I see foreigners wear our clothes, I feel sense of pride. It never felt offensive and it actually makes me believe “ ah, they respect our cultural and appreciate our history.” In my country, we find joy in watching other cultures enjoying our culture, there’s nothing offensive about it. Never understood the woke of it.
2:49 Girl: I personally don't see any problem with any of this. Will: Thank you. You're one of the first. Girl: Really? Actually that's not surprising. I forgot where I go to school. LOL

@Ko Chan American culture is the amalgamation of the good parts of every other culture and the abandoning of the bad parts. Freedom number one. Taiwan is the real China. God bless the 2nd amendment.
If you wear it to mock another cultural and to make fun of it, then it is wrong. If you wear it to appreciate another person culture, i find no wrong with it.
@Back in Black my thoughts exactly. The competitive market is already suffering from lack of "good entrepreneurship traits" among their young employees... for me it's a clear result of this leftist-woke culture. That makes people like her really shine among so many near-autistic amoebas. I should know, because I recently got a job where most people sitting next to me on interview waiting room were like these young people (you can tell it but their appearance and posture alone, sorry but its true). There was only other person there that had a more serious/disciplined/commited demeanor like me and we were the only two people that got the jobs.
My aunt is Mexican and I love her and her family dearly and I used to love it when she involved me in cooking with her or when she gave me anything from Mexico. Back then no one was offended when I wore my poncho or my espadrilles. In fact it was all part of fashion for us. I grew up in Salinas Ca. where I had friends and coworkers who were Mexican. No one was ever offended by anything. We all made jokes about ourselves and each other and all we ever had were laughs and good times. But, when I was twenty I had a boyfriend and we were madly in love. We were inseperable and began to spend a lot of time with our families and they were always gracious to me. We were secretly engaged. He came from a very traditional Mexican family and when they found out they were furious. They forbade him to marry a white girl and told him to quit seeing me and threatened to disown him. He was furious. They were a fairly prominent strawberry farming family in the community and he was fully expected to follow suit, which he was going to do. But in the end, I called it off and walked away because of the pain and utter anguish it was causing him. That was the first time I experienced what is now known as "reverse racism". Back then I just called it utter heartbreak. I will never ever forget him, my first true (adult) love.
I’m Korean and when foreigners come to Korea and they visit the historical sites they rent and wear the traditional garment called Hanbok. Koreans like this because they are flattered people from other countries want to celebrate our culture. We even offer free admission to one of the palaces if you wear the traditional garment. There’s no problem as long as you aren’t mocking the people while wearing it. It’s really silly to see others be offended for you. Actually, that’s more offensive in a way - it’s arrogance. This whole cultural appropriation thing started out of insecurity.
Can't agree more! Besides, it's a very hypocritical way of thinking when you consider how every culture gets influenced by others and "appropriate" elements to heir own way all the time, influencing our lifestyles. It was hilarious to see the girl being offended by the costume but she eats Chinese food, high levels of hypocrisy there I'm afraid. Also it's a retrograde way of thinking, tagging people and dividing society when we should be concentrating on uniting.
@@georgaseebalack6003 - hanboks aren’t really hot. I think it depends on what type of material it’s made out of. Korea in the summer is just hot anyway so there’s that lol. Go in the spring or fall.
This reminds me of the white high school girl who wore a qipao to her prom. Everyone in America was horribly offended, but all of my Chinese co-workers (I was working in China at the time) thought she looked beautiful in it. The left's idiocy knows no bounds.
America Chinese get angry because it was hard for them when they were young, and they were bullied by other people because of the difference. But then when a white person wears it gets a lot of praise. Even bigger, they get racism from different eyes, for example. But when it is made into makeup, it suddenly becomes trendy.
I remember learning about an English missionary who moved to China to witness to the people there. There were other English missionaries who lived there, but Hudson did what almost no one else was doing: dressing like the Chinese and living like the Chinese. Guess what? He made a lot more headway because he fully embraced their lifestyle and culture and thus, gained their respect.
Exactly what Paul said and did: For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 ESV
As a Chinese, the issue is that what you are wearing isn't actually traditional Chinese attire, but costume (or what a lot of people envision as "traditional" instead). Second, your attire is for a rich person, but you're wearing a farmer's hat. Other than that you look great in this.
I don't get that. It's not a culture. 🤔 it's like when someone puts American for ethnicity or Hispanic for race. I'm just confused. Maybe he's British - No one adds bangers and mash to their Thanksgiving menu. They're not like Hungarians, Italians, Jews, Cubans or Poles in America with the holiday food. (I just looked up his name, "witt" is Dutch for "White" 😂)
Hahaha at the end of the day we are all whites 😂. I'm Brazilian but let's check: Portuguese is a Indo-European language, Catholicism is an European religion, my family is Italian and Portuguese, so...? 😂😂😂 No idea
Hilarious video... Yet, I've some doubts: I wonder if cooking or eating a hotdog or hamburger, is "cultural appropriation"... Is playing football (""soccer""), "cultural appropriation"? I think that Mr. Will Witt could have asked the Left's hostile racists if buying chinese-made products "is cultural appropriation too"?! Plus, if the black women and men who straighten their hairs _(and even paint themselves as blonds)_ and chop-off their huge noses in order to try to look westerner, "is cultural appropriation too"?

Do you ever notice the same liberals who sing the praises of "diversity" are the quickest to call other people racisit when they acknowledge the most nuetral example of "diversity"? They mock whites who say "I don't see color" why do you think are shamed into feeling that way?
@@alansands256 I think you shouldn't belittle people for their ethnicity, or discriminate, but embracing your culture or celebrating another culture should be fine. I did get the sense that he maybe overplayed the costume a bit, but it's not really worthy of hate
I'm Chinese, and I'm totally fine with this. Just asked my wife, who's also a Chinese, and she's fine with this too. We love it, when you like our culture :P
I always liked traditional Chinese attire. It looks very comfortable, like the stuff people wear for martial arts, zhi gong, Tai Qi etc. I would wear it, but I'm tall, blue eyes, brownish blondish hair, I would look like a poser and catch all the side eye. If I were Chinese I'd shamelessly wear traditional garments, I however would be lynched in the woke west, or severely ridiculed, I don't need either. Luckily European fashion is very diverse and has lots of nice stuff, but I wouldn't mind to diversify, I'll get a Chinese garment once I have a little spending money and use it as a pyjama, who's going to say shit. Besides, if they're in my personal space trying to attack me I'll shoot them dead. :)
I love when he does the cultural appropriation episodes. The sjw's and race hustlers lose their minds over this stuff while virtue signaling and pandering. The folks who's culture is being "appropriated" are not offended by this stuff at all. Lol
S M I’ve only been going to school here since fall of 2019, so I haven’t had a lot of incidents occur, but I would say that one of the more extreme ones was something that happened to a girl I met in one of groups I’m in. She’s a government major, so inevitably she’s taking some kind of gov classes, and as soon as the class found out that she was conservative, they turned against her and have called her a white supremacist on multiple occasions. I have more examples if you’d like to hear them, but that’s one of the more extreme incidents I’ve heard of/experienced.
@@SM-by1od If you want to not be close to the more liberal parts of Texas, just don't live in any of the big cities like Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, Houston, etc. I grew up in a small town I'm grateful I did bc I didn't have to experience any far left nonsense growing up lol. I've heard west Texas has some of the nicest people. But anyways, some more things that have happened, I'll just make a list. -Incmoing freshman this year that were wanting to join one of the two conservative groups on campus (YCTUT and Turning Point) were being threatened to be doxxed by this far left group on campus. It made the news you can look it up. - This is a smaller thing, but definitely not good, but I hear people all the time dissing capitalism and saying the socialism is the way to go. - I have a friend who is in a blackness incarceration class (you can already tell by the name that that's terrible lol) But my friend who is in it is actually conservative and frankly the nicest person I've ever met, and they pretty much talk about how blacks are being oppressed and how socialism and communism is the way to go. I don't personally take the class so that's all I can really say but I know it's not a good class lol. - There's just a lot of people on campus that have a far left mindset, and I've even read some hateful comments on twitter responding to posts made by YCT. Im currently in YCT so ask me after this school year and I'll bet I'll have a lot more to tell ;)

College or no college it makes no difference hard skills is what people need to focus soft skills are fine but make no money like art, history and philosophy etc also even if people like half heartedly they should focus on a career in health care the work is clean for the most part and the job security is really good and will get even better as America's population get older.
@@fraserfir19 as you said, soft skills won't get you a job like hard skills will, but they will be important in actually obtaining a job and keeping it, if that makes sense. One of my early classes had a single class on soft skills, a quote that I remember from that was "Hard skill will let you obtain a job, but only soft skills will let you maintain that job". It went something like that. Lets say you are a programmer. Sure, hard skills in programming will get you the job, but if you cant lead a group, or work together in that group, you likely wont have that job for long. Leadership or teamwork are the example soft skills. Point is, soft skills are equally as important as hard skills. People often underestimate how important they are, or don't realize just how broad the term is, and how it encompasses so many skills that people don't immediately notice.
In Canada we have Edmonton Eskimos and one of the national Inuit representative in Ottawa was like I’m offended by this name and going on the national news and everything but the actual Inuit came together and defended the Edmonton Eskimos it was hilarious and Inuit and Edmonton Eskimos formed a great bond because of this I really thought that was cool

especially the black women with braids down her butt telling he was offensive appropriation of chinese custom when her braid never come from Africa at all. it was a very asian and european custom for women hair and some men's hair. the democrat slave in the past got that style after many generation here. so did they steal that custom ? are they being offensive ? do anyone care? it seems they are the only ones who care? so we cannot eat other culture's food or wear their cloths? than she should be walking around with only african cloths even though she and her ancestors have been apart from the place when an african tribe sold one of her grandparents years ago to a muslim trader on the african coast.......
The only Asians who find this offensive are the ones struggling to balance their "white identity" with their "Asian" identity. I'm ethnic Chinese living in the Philippines and i love it when people wear my traditional outfits as long as it's not demeaning or condescending.

I can say the same about, hey if they’re wearing something from a culture then hey great, no problem. It’s when people disrespect that culture openly and I mean truly disrespect it.

They wouldn't be triggered because they don't actually care. They're just judgemental asshats who want an excuse to be mad - they consider themselves immune to the things they condemn others for.
Culture is not a costume. But one (out of many) part(s) of a culture is their fashion, which a costume can emulate. Culture is not only clothing, so wearing a copy of a traditional garb during a time of whimsy will not destroy that culture. If it could, the culture in question would have been destroyed long ago.

Bonfire or beach?
Costume party or masquerade?
Movie nights or hangover hair of the dog?

after watching this video,
i asked my Chinese mom:
“Do you find a non Chinese wearing a qipao(traditional Chinese cloths) disrespectful?”
she started laughing and said “how in the world is that offensive? They must think its beautiful!” and i laughed with her.
its interesting to see the people who actually get mad at cultural “appropriation” arent even the ones in the culture.
Qipao isn’t traditional, it’s modern
they just want to convince us that we should not perceive humans as humans but should divide them into races and not accept anything from another race in order to prevent interbreeding
we learn from it not better to live together but rather to divide us further and that is sad
God bless your mother's pure soul for actually understanding that this isn't anything to worry about ❤️❤️❤️
Bro im hispanic but always loved the chinese tradition and Japanese due to martial arts food and other aspects hell thanks to kung fu i learned tae kwon do i know not in the same culture but still expanded my horizon.....i ended up getting a wushu uniform for trainin in my spare time plus its comfy ....i never understood why this is bad....personally i think its fine as long as their not being shitheads lol its crazy
qipao is manchurian, entire china be appropriating lmao
I’m an arab and when I see foreigners wear our clothes, I feel sense of pride. It never felt offensive and it actually makes me believe “ ah, they respect our cultural and appreciate our history.” In my country, we find joy in watching other cultures enjoying our culture, there’s nothing offensive about it.

My aunt is Mexican and I love her and her family dearly and I used to love it when she involved me in cooking with her or when she gave me anything from Mexico. Back then no one was offended when I wore my poncho or my espadrilles. In fact it was all part of fashion for us.
I grew up in Salinas Ca. where I had friends and coworkers who were Mexican. No one was ever offended by anything. We all made jokes about ourselves and each other and all we ever had were laughs and good times. But, when I was twenty I had a boyfriend and we were madly in love. We were inseperable and began to spend a lot of time with our families and they were always gracious to me.
We were secretly engaged. He came from a very traditional Mexican family and when they found out they were furious. They forbade him to marry a white girl and told him to quit seeing me and threatened to disown him. He was furious. They were a fairly prominent strawberry farming family in the community and he was fully expected to follow suit, which he was going to do. But in the end, I called it off and walked away because of the pain and utter anguish it was causing him.
That was the first time I experienced what is now known as "reverse racism". Back then I just called it utter heartbreak. I will never ever forget him, my first true (adult) love.
That's because SJWs are the real racists
I’m Korean and when foreigners come to Korea and they visit the historical sites they rent and wear the traditional garment called Hanbok. Koreans like this because they are flattered people from other countries want to celebrate our culture. We even offer free admission to one of the palaces if you wear the traditional garment. There’s no problem as long as you aren’t mocking the people while wearing it. It’s really silly to see others be offended for you. Actually, that’s more offensive in a way - it’s arrogance. This whole cultural appropriation thing started out of insecurity.
if I go to Korea, I am 100$ going to rent an outfit. hanboks are gorgeous and knowing I can rent on e is awesome. hope I don't die of heat though.
Can't agree more! Besides, it's a very hypocritical way of thinking when you consider how every culture gets influenced by others and "appropriate" elements to heir own way all the time, influencing our lifestyles. It was hilarious to see the girl being offended by the costume but she eats Chinese food, high levels of hypocrisy there I'm afraid. Also it's a retrograde way of thinking, tagging people and dividing society when we should be concentrating on uniting.
So, it's okay to mock the people if you're wearing some slacks and a T-shirt?
I think the cultural appropriation thing feels like neo-segregation.

I remember learning about an English missionary who moved to China to witness to the people there. There were other English missionaries who lived there, but Hudson did what almost no one else was doing: dressing like the Chinese and living like the Chinese. Guess what? He made a lot more headway because he fully embraced their lifestyle and culture and thus, gained their respect.

Exactly what Paul said and did:
For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

As a Chinese, the issue is that what you are wearing isn't actually traditional Chinese attire, but costume (or what a lot of people envision as "traditional" instead). Second, your attire is for a rich person, but you're wearing a farmer's hat. Other than that you look great in this.

She’s a government major, so inevitably she’s taking some kind of gov classes, and as soon as the class found out that she was conservative, they turned against her and have called her a white supremacist on multiple occasions. I have more examples if you’d like to hear them, but that’s one of the more extreme incidents I’ve heard of/experienced.

I've heard west Texas has some of the nicest people. But anyways, some more things that have happened, I'll just make a list. -Incmoing freshman this year that were wanting to join one of the two conservative groups on campus (YCTUT and Turning Point) were being threatened to be doxxed by this far left group on campus. It made the news you can look it up. - This is a smaller thing, but definitely not good, but I hear people all the time dissing capitalism and saying the socialism is the way to go. - I have a friend who is in a blackness incarceration class (you can already tell by the name that that's terrible lol) But my friend who is in it is actually conservative and frankly the nicest person I've ever met, and they pretty much talk about how blacks are being oppressed and how socialism and communism is the way to go. I don't personally take the class so that's all I can really say but I know it's not a good class lol. - There's just a lot of people on campus that have a far left mindset, and I've even read some hateful comments on twitter responding to posts made by YCT. Im currently in YCT so ask me after this school year and I'll bet I'll have a lot more to tell ;)

@@fraserfir19 as you said, soft skills won't get you a job like hard skills will, but they will be important in actually obtaining a job and keeping it, if that makes sense. One of my early classes had a single class on soft skills, a quote that I remember from that was "Hard skill will let you obtain a job, but only soft skills will let you maintain that job". It went something like that. Lets say you are a programmer. Sure, hard skills in programming will get you the job, but if you cant lead a group, or work together in that group, you likely wont have that job for long. Leadership or teamwork are the example soft skills.
Point is, soft skills are equally as important as hard skills. People often underestimate how important they are, or don't realize just how broad the term is, and how it encompasses so many skills that people don't immediately notice.
Chances are they were already pretty dumb prior to arriving. But your point is a valid one.

I am Eurasian American and I can say that the only thing that offends me even slightly is when someone assumes that I’m from a generalized country when I’m not. I can relate to you in someway, though 50% of my DNA is Korean I was born in Europe and then adopted in America. I can say the same about, hey if they’re wearing something from a culture then hey great, no problem. It’s when people disrespect that culture openly and I mean truly disrespect it. Then that’s where I start getting vocal.Anyways, have a nice day.
Chinese people: that's awesome!
White kids: I'm offended on behalf of the chinese people to show how virtuous I am.
While the asian students wear western clothing. 🤣
Actually, at least half of them were not caucasian.
@elitist douche bag You didn't watch far enough. He walked into Chinatown and the Chinese people loved the outfit.
🤣😂😁😀
Weird eh?
"Someone's culture or what they wear isn't a costume"... NEITHER IS MY GENDER
That Chinese lady said "bonito" which is Spanish. I'm confused.
That also means beautiful in Portuguese which is an official language in Macau S.A.R.
@@gabrielbaynunn2418 you are absolutely right. And the funniest thing they have the most similar accent as Brazilians have. Hahaha I don't know why or how 😂
@@anandadaquino3604 Brazilians' English accent?
JD's Progress 2nd Channel she probably is Filipino because it was a Spanish colony for a time and so picked up a few Spanish words
Macaunese people can speak Portuguese
Most surprising part of the whole thing:
Student: "I personally don't see a problem with any of it."
Will: "Thank you. You're one of the first."
Student: "Really? I mean, that's not surprising. I forgot where I go to school."
So not all Berkeley students are idiots!
Guess I've been stereotyping them all this time...
Yep... the situation is much brighter. All -1 Berkeley students
A Westerner wearing a kimono would get the same positive reaction in Japan.
@JKay11235, ikr. Asian people actually happy when western people enjoy and Like wearing our Asian traditional clothes. As a matter of fact, we are wearing western clothes every single day. Only libtards that offended in everything.
@JKay11235 In most countries (not only Asian), nobody cares.
Onlu Leftist LibTards behave as if they do.
They would probably laugh.
morning sunrise i mean another example is the October Fest from Munich where I come from. People from all around the world go there and wear Lederhosen and the Dirndl etc. this is why cultural appropriation is so backwards and unbelievably stupid. The “progressive left” is actually incredibly and ironically “regressive” because we should all come together as people and celebrate the cultures and traditions of everyone. Obviously, they don’t seem to want that.
My wife is Laos... her family wanted me to dress up in Laos traditional wedding attire. But since I’m Irish I wore a kilt. Just to mix the two cultures.... but every year during Laos Thai Cambodian New Years I wear men’s Laos clothing. And everyone at the temple always comments how good it looks
"That's not surprising. I forgot where I go to school.." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Same as my Mexican bros, we don’t care if you wear our culture, it’s just clothes for us, use it bro.
I miss your poncho and sombrero, it looked cool on you
Parzival V like even for Halloween?
kohaku
Yes, I don’t see a problem.
People here dress as the Mexican stereotype for fun, also when we have Día de muertos we dress as Yucatecos with our shirts and dresses.
You know whats funny they say its wrong for us to wear a diffrent cultures atire. But yet all of these countries sells stuff like sambraos and kimonos to the tourists. If they really didn't want forgniers wearing traditional clothes they would not even sell it to them.
Parzival V I can understand that many may not have a problem with people from other ethnicity wearing their own ethnic closing for fun, or to make fun, to certain extent, but I also respectfully understand some others may get offended by it.
@@kohakugawazy yeah white millennial's
"Do you like my outfit?"
"No, but I'll take a picture so I can tell all my gender studies friends how woke I am that I said that to you!"
More like comatose.
Did they actually say that
@@QuinnGriffithIsTheBest When asked if he liked the outfit the little soy boy just said "No!" but I can imagine my remark is pretty true since he did take a picture
I laughed so much when the lady at 2:36 told him "Bonito" 😂
It was so unexpected to hear a spanish answer from a chinese person being asked a question in english.
She isn't speaking Spanish, She is speaking Portuguese, perhaps she is from Macau, a former Portuguese colony
@@pedroaguiar9128 Sim, sem duvida que ela é de Macau. Mas a palavra bonito tanto se usa no Português como o Espanhol.
As vezes parace que a gente se esquece que as duas linguas são 90% idênticas..
@@pedroaguiar9128???? Sabes que el español y portugués son prácticamente lo mismo muy pocas palabras cambian
Filipino maybe, because they speak some spanish
@@pedroaguiar9128 bonito is used in Spanish too?
I am chinese, I don't find that inappropriate. I am happy to see more people wearing it. And for the record what he wore is NOT originally Chinese, but Manchurian traditonal clothing, the Chinese adopted it in late 1600s. I don't give a shit why other non chinese people making a fuss!
Im late to the party but a mainland girlie once told me I cant wear a manchu inspired blouse because I'm white 😂 I asked her if SHE was manchu for wearing something similar. Han girlie went bright red and walked off.
"Oh... I forgot where I go to school." Lol
I was just about to write this LOL most college campuses are like this too.. It's scary.
Zesty Pepper
She was being sarcastic. She didn’t literally forget.
@@stevied3400 I understood her sarcasm. But thanks anyway.
For those who didn’t like it just tell them that you identify as a Chinese
" If chinese gov. say no, I'm sorry we can't do anything about it. So it's not right. "
I mean. Race is technically a social construct. So Boom!
For real, hahaha
LMAO
This made me LOL! (laugh out loud!)
*Liberals - OOHH MY GOD THAT'S SO OFFENSIVE, WAAAH WAAH WAAAAAHHHH.............*
*Asian - Well if you're not being racist then all good bro*
Legit though
Literally all most of them said was like "I mean it's a bit weird dude" LIBTARDS DESTROYED AND TRIGGERED EPICLY LEFT OWNED
I was wearing a Salakot (Cone hat) when I was roaming in Luneta (Rizal Park, in Manila). A white girl told me why am I appropriating Chinese hat when I'm Filipino. A tour guide nearby had to explain that what I'm wearing is a Filipino hat but is rarely used these days.
Yeah, you are right. They are highly uneducated moral colonizers...
I also would wear a hat like this if I'd like to do so. No matter what any woke nitwit's opinion is. I am sure no native would feel "triggered", rather they would like it, seeing a Westerner adapting to their culture.
At least that's what I experienced while traveling.
God bless!
When I spent time in Thailand and told local girls that I was there studying meditation, they LOVED that. They understood that I was paying their culture a huge COMPLIMENT. Cultural appropriation is the biggest non-issue ever.
Meditation is a quality, not an act, great that you're open to it.
Totally agree
Disrespectful.
meanwhile in ASIA the majority of us are wearing Western everyday clothes.
Badshroom ikr
Stop appropriating white cultur... nvm we don’t have a culture according to the news.
I just realized that I had been inadvertently culturally appropriating Westerners all my life.
Help yourselves! I’m a white American, but I say clothes were meant to be enjoyed! You don’t need my permission!
@@mainiak1 When you asked old Chinese people about America, the first thing in their mind is cowboy in jeans, flannel shirt, cowboy hat and a gun.
I guess that's America.
I'm of chinese ethnic and whoever wants to wear Chinese costumes can wear it. It's nice to see people from other races embrace the culture. Just don't be racist. I don't know why white, black people get offended.
America Chinese get angry because it was hard for them when they were young, and they were bullied by other people because of the difference. But then when a white person wears it gets a lot of praise. Even bigger, they get racism from different eyes, for example. But when it is made into makeup, it suddenly becomes trendy.
@@lolypoppp7 urm you dont know everyone experiences based on their race and whrere they come from.You're ignorant just say you hate white people and go
Only americans care about this.In the rest of the world,you can wear whatever you want,it doesn't matter your color
@@lolypoppp7 Source of white people being praised: I made it up
only white/western european Americans do. all of us white eastern european immigrants dont do this stupid shit, mainly because we're not bitches
Bro if I saw someone that wasn't from America wearing American flag clothes with cowboy boots and a cowboy hat I'd be so happy.
Omg the old people were so adorable 😭 also this was hilarious Ni Hao y’all! 😂

As an Asian the only offensive thing in this video is when 1:26 that guy mixed up Japanese clothing from Chinese clothing like seriously
He assumed his culture, that’s a nono
@Cicero Progontus By being educated in world culture.
EXACTLY!!!!
@Cicero Progontus he did assume though, and didn't just ask.
Dude, seriously. People mix up (Korean) Hanboks and kimonos, too, and it drives me crazy.
This is so well done, happy to see someone sharing this side of view without trying to condeming or hostility
“I’m white.”
😂😂😂😂
That's Great, be proud of it 😎👍
The old grannies were awesome hahahaha god bless them
I’m Japanese. And I don’t care if non Japanese wear Japanese traditional cloths. 1:23 boy said Japanese culture but it was Chinese. But I think It's not raicist for me as a Japanese. It happened to us a lot. Some people think Japanese traditional clothe as Chinese clothes. But it should not be called racism, it is just lack of knowledge. People make mistakes. Don't worry!!
Yea, although Japanese clothes and Chinese can be told apart, you can’t blame people for mistaking them. If I showed a Chinese person a Dutch dress vs a German dress they probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. And that’s okay
I dying to get a japanese robe (don't know how it called). So one in Gambit Queen and i love It. But It so hard to find.
@@legattostacatto4805 kimono?
I think mostly everyone in the first third of the video has a "lack of knowledge" anyways, but ok.
Nono actually it was a joke 😂
Im from Bavaria, germany. The oktoberfest ended two days ago. People from munich actually want people to visit the festival in traditional bavarian clothing. I was also born in the same city as Karl Mai. He wrote the Winnetoe books. Every year was a celebration where kids dressed up as native americans and rode horses (I did not like though^^)

The lesson: Young liberals get offended way too easily.
Leftists
That way it's so fun to mess with them
Yep, that's why they're a laughing stock.
My girlfriend is Chinese. She is very eager for me to wear certain types of Chinese clothing. She wants me to have the quilted pjamas. She wants me to have the jacket with the cords around the buttons. And I am absolutely required to have slippers to go in her apartment.
Young Liberals are the first to go on the Extinction list..simply because it is not sustainable and in the end stupidity loses out to Darwinism !
I’ve seen street side interviews conducted in China on this matter and they don’t give a flying f:($ Lol!
Yip because they have more important things to be bothered with and are not idiots!
I personally think it's just about attitude.
One can wear other counties traditional clothes to appreciate, feel their culture, their clothes etc..
but one also can wear to disrespect the culture.
"It´s pretty insensitive".. Gosh, what´s happening to the American youth?
They're being brainwashed to be a bunch of undereducated oversexed crybaby bitches... Apparently it's going well
Insensitive.....

Lol if these guys knew “Chinese” food on Malls is actually Americanized they would be triggered for life
Kevin D. Najera
American-Chinese is a fusion cuisine,
But not all of it is “Americanized”.
So is Panda Express cultural appropriation?
They wouldn't be triggered because they don't actually care. They're just judgemental asshats who want an excuse to be mad - they consider themselves immune to the things they condemn others for.
@@HuntingTarg
Panda Express makes me sick, and I'm not kidding. Physically ill.

America is about celebrating other people's cultures.
Is that what Will Witt is doing? Is he celebrating the culture of people from China? It seems like he's just using this as an excuse to make a point.
@@jazzstandardman thats exactly what he's doing. He's making a point. I point i believe he made perfectly.
Yeah, because guess where all those cultures decided to migrate to.
Furor Teutonicus lol. Ok
@Furor Teutonicus I understand that but dude, what does that have to do with the fact that America is a very diverse country?
“Are you Vietnamese?”
“Chinese”
“Ahh I’m Taiwanese”
“Im white”
“Huehuehue”
Someone’s culture or what they wear isn’t a costume.
Counter point. Yes it is.
So... those clothes she is waering.
White people clothes... yeah
Traditional garb, and costumes are BOTH clothing.
(Mic dropped).
Culture is not a costume.
But one (out of many) part(s) of a culture is their fashion, which a costume can emulate. Culture is not only clothing, so wearing a copy of a traditional garb during a time of whimsy will not destroy that culture. If it could, the culture in question would have been destroyed long ago.
I like wearing the sexy french lady outfits for halloween.

Even if you are naked, people will be offended. You can't please everyone.
This is so true, I don’t know why I can’t just walk around everywhere naked 😪
