    Snowflakes: “It is offensive for a westerner to wear a Japanese kimono. You are not Japanese!”

    Native Japanese: “We insist you wear this kimono so you feel like part of the group.”

    Based on a true story.

      When you deprive examples of context you do a disservice to the point.

      If a Japanese person asks you explicitly to wear a kimono, then yes of course you wear a kimono. There isn’t a progressive/leftist/etc. in the world who would disagree with that.

      Edit: Also who non-ironically uses the term “snowflake”? Very lame and predictable
