Because Chinese don’t believe in stupid stuff like ‘cultural appropriation.’ They simply see it as what it is – appreciation for a beautiful style of dress. It’s just the constantly offended liberals who are offended.
Via SCMP:
An American teenager has received support from internet users in China after being criticised for wearing a traditional Chinese dress to her school prom.
Keziah Daum, an 18-year-old from Utah in the United States, who has no Chinese roots, was accused of “cultural appropriation” after posting photographs on Twitter that featured her in a traditional Chinese qipao, or cheongsam.
The dress symbolised a silent protest to promote gender equality after the fall of the dynasties and the beginning of the republican period in the early 1900s, and was worn during the 1919 reformist May Fourth Movement.
