Dana's #1 Fan Qipio (the dress) is usually wore by Chinese Waitress in High-end Chinese Restaurants, In China some girls still wears them because of fashion too.
I have no problem with her wearing it. Her response however where she said she respected Chinese culture and then contradicted it by calling it "just a fucking dress", reflects that she wasn't as sincere and respectful as she claimed to be.
BWFeuntaco To you and her it's just a dress, but to others it's a symbol of their culture. That's like saying the US flag is just a flag, but to some it's more than that. Same thing applies to the dress.
I've been to China and walked in a shop selling dresses like that they ENCOURAGE foreigners to try on and buy these dresses they are definitely NOT offended of other cultures wearing it. If anything while you try it on they want pictures to show other people a foreign person wearing their traditional dress.
I saw a serpentza video where he asked a bunch of Chinese in the street if it's okay for a white woman to wear a qipao. ... Not a single person said no, but a few said "unless they're fat." LMAO
commen sense because alot of mainland chinese worship white people.. the only interaction theyve had with them are from movies. just like the only interactions theyve had with black people are from movies. they treat race very specifically because of that
I wore a Chinese dress for my prom too. Living in then UK is so different than the States. I was complimented by friends and teachers of all races because I had chose a pretty colour and fit for my body and was the only girl wearing that style. I took a picture with my Nepalese friend who came in something white,short and lace which is not something from her own culture. Does that mean she's 'appropriating' European or Western cultures? I chose the dress because I like Asian cultures and it was genuinely so pretty and unique. People need to relax about this. Culture is something beautiful and exciting to learn about - we should allow it to be shared and appreciated.
In the US it's only ever racist or discrimination when it's done by a white person. Because the US was founded by Straight White Men.... so the country is racist, sexist, and homophobic (transphobic)
YR Yu I understand what you're saying. Buy you telling me I can't have a say anything on the topic because I'm caucasian is kind of the same thing. It's not one particular race's job to teach kindness in any circumstance. I wrote my comment as a person, not as just a white girl, tryna spread some wisdom. I grew up near Heathrow where there really is no such thing as minorities because there's a balance of British and other cultures. I was taught how to be comfortable around different cultures and how to share my own respectfully. That's the kinda message I'm trying to spread.
YR Yu is being way too sensivitve. Im asian amerian and it dont offend me. Matter of fact, I like it that you wore something different. It shows me that your open to other cultures and most likely if there was real racist shit going down, you would actually be an ally. Saying a white person cant say shit on a topic is stupid as heck. How are you going to keep a meaningful dialogue if you can't speak to each other.
By your logic. If you see white people doing some fucked up shit. You as an asian person can't say shit or correct the situation. How logical is that. Do you not see the hypocrisy in your statement.
I doubt she actually knows anything about Chinese culture but like its just a dress she just thought was pretty. Like who gives a shit. She just thought it was pretty
Also what about all the other kids wearing traditional promdresses. I mean prom is part of American culture and how can u deny sm wearing clothes. I mean clothes, tf, it shouldn't matter the situation or who you are any type of cloth hanging on you should be fine
High Kicks Asian Chinese from China dont know much shit about the racist history of America. They're differently impacted as opposed to asian americans. But I dont think its a big deal either she didnt wear it to disrespect the culture.
High Kick AsianYeah its the same in Korea. They see people into Kpop and wearing hanbok and they find it cool foreigners think their culture is really intresting.
Damn why couldn't Gina be in this too cause she kept talking about this on Twitter. Edit: also they didn't talk about how the dude who called the girl out first was actually racist and said a lot of "appropriation" tweets.
You know what, the world is suppose to be united now, which means we SHOULD use each others things to prove that we really are a united species. If you complain about this you're afraid of this unity and you want to divide the world again and bring us backward instead of forward.
queenhiphop1002 Then that's a situation that we can address together, black, asian, latina/o, and yes even white. Just because a problem exists doesn't mean we should let it slow us down in our steps towards acceptance. We can address it together as one cause.
queenhiphop1002 *"Yours"* . See that's the problem. Something about my comment made you assume that I somehow can't be black. Well news flash, I'm straight from Nigeria, so what's "yours" is also "mine". What you're calling for is a type of segregation in disguise. How does that seem like progress to you? What exactly do you think that will solve, or how can that possibly be better? I genuinely want to get your POV because no matter how many, blog posts, or articles, or videos I see on it, that argument never makes sense to me. It seems so backwards. If you didnt want people from other races to partake in the discussion then why bring it up at all? Why have national movements like BLM when you don't want the majority of the nation to get involved?
I mean as an American Indian its like what you trampled us out now you want our sweatlodge rights and headdresses not knowing the meaning why we wear them.
I just got back from Korea on Monday and let me tell you.. I had not one but two Koreans asking me to wear a hanbok/traditional dress. One of them was an elderly lady that was going out of her way to find me one in my size. I kept saying no thank you because I knew they didn’t have it in my size but yeah
Bryan James don't know about the diversity for sure but I give it credit for being social, and for freedom of speech. Still doesn't help the fact that other countries don't have this problem because we're not as confused when it comes to race/ racial issues. America is still working that out till this day.
I may have exaggerated on the most diverse part but you don't see many countries celebrate other cultures' holidays. And it's actually pretty remarkable that from all the different bullshit the US has gone through with racial issues from slavery to what we have now, it's a big jump. I know slavery didn't start in the US and it still exists today but the point is that the US came a long way. The only reason different countries pay attention to the US a lot is because of the advancement made. This upcoming country made by different backgrounds bringing their contributions shows a lot of promise.
i wish tiff mentioned on how jeremy lam was a hypocrite being anti-white and dropping the n-word alot on his twitter but whatevs they get the idea haha
I see what your talking about but I don’t have a problem with other ethnicities saying “nigga” aslong as they not white/European..I grew up around Hella Cambodians, Vietnamese nd Koreans Nd nvr bothers me I see thm as black anyways lol even Hispanics
I also wore a Chinese dress when I went to prom back in the day. I also had a Chinese guy as my prom date and he thought it was super hot. Sooooo I dunno I guess it just depends on the person?
In Jessica and Tiffany's case, it is perfectly fine for them to wear kimono/chipao, especially Tiffany. Her husband is Chinese for crying out loud. She is a Chinese guy's lawfully wedded wife, she will make a half-Chinese baby in the future, of course she is entitled to wear chipao! There is nothing wrong with wearing the traditional costume of your significant other's culture.
Husband and wife/ boyfriend and girl friend are not related by blood. I said there is nothing wrong to wear your significant otehr's traditional costume, I didn't say you must "somehow connected to the culture by blood".
Michael Panggabean You just over-analyzed my comment. I left this comment because Joe mentioned Jessica was so nervous to wear kimono even though it was Joe's mom asking her to wear it. That's why I said "In Jessica and Tiffany"s case...". I mentioned half-Chinese baby because I want to emphasize Tiffany is part of a Chinese family now, when she wears chipao she is celebrating her husband's culture, not mocking it or playing a character. All I want to say is that no one should judge Jessica and Tiffany if they wear kimono/chipao. I still don't understand why you think I am saying one should somehow relate to the culture by blood in order to wear the custom of that culture. Jessica and Tiffany are not related to Joe and Cassy by blood! I have tried my best to answer your question. If you are still not satisfied, all I can say is you read between the lines WAY too much. There is no hidden meaning. I mean what I said.
Yuju Ti okay, let me rephrase it for you to hopefully make it easier for to digest. You said in Jessica and Tiffany's case it's fine. Now, is it fine for the girl in the article to wear the clothing? By mentioning that Jessica's and Tiffany's case is perfectly fine, you're differentiating the 2 categories of people wearing ethnic clothings there. Another example, I'm not Japanese, nor Scottish, yet I love to casually wear yukata and kilt anywhere I go. There's no special occasion, no cultural events. I just wear it like any other pieces of clothings I have (and no, this is not rhetorical, I really do wear them every now and then). Is that "perfectly fine" to you, or not?
I saw this on Twitter and I wasn’t offended. I just saw a lot of people smacking on her and I was like∶ Yikes. Y’all do you. I bet those 2 dislikes are the people that got offended. Siiiiiis, spend your time on something relevant.
Where was the article about the black girl wearing one of those dresses when she was attacked and I’m pretty sure that if she didn’t look cute she would not have gotten this much support
My mother in law(Chinese) bought me FIVE traditional dresses when I went to China. She was so happy when I wore them during reunions with my husband’s family, and everyone wanted to take pictures of me. Oh and did I forget to mention that I’m Mexican! Yeah I really don’t see what’s the big deal, and my husband was not one bit offended by this. People really need to get a life!
The reason that the girl sparked debate is because she posted tweets saying that Asians sucks in the past and the photo is considered mocking. Thats why. So it wasn’t appreciation but appropriate is when you take things from a culture, and unlike tiffany who honors her husbands culture & is trying to learn chinese, this girl has posted a bunch of bad things and then wore that dress. Appropriation is wearing a sombrero, eating tacos and celebrating Cinco de Mayo, while voting for trump who calls mexicans rapists and criminals. While also not being aware of issues surrounding a culture.
You know Trump was talking about illegals crossing the border and he said not all. If you check many women crossing the border are raped (esp. by "Coyotes"). His proposed immigration bill was more than fair, especially compared to Mexico's immigration laws (which are actually racist). ..
Oh my goodness!!! I already heard about this and was wondering what you all thought. I was afraid you guys would be all mad about this, cuz I would have been very pissed off and disappointed but wow. I'm glad we see eye to eye on this. I love you guys
I wasn't offended by it, I think it's silly that many people were but I kinda understand why they got upset; if a white girl wore traditional African clothing to her prom then the internet would've went apeshit.
This is like the Mexicans who have started complaining about celebrating 5 de Mayo. My entire family hispanic and we've always celebrated, dont nobody actually care who celebrates with us. Be white and celebrate, we dont care just dont try and offer us fake tacos, we'll get you real ones.
Mon X yea that part of the argument makes sense, i agree with that tho most of it has been ppl talkin bout "my culture isnt your excuse to get drunk. That isnt even actually our independence day". Im over ppl being fake woke about it. We all know even hispanic people use it as a day to get drunk and have some good food.
Kogi Bulgogi it was Americans that taught me about cinco de mayo. Lol is that fucked up? I dont really care. If my own parents didnt teach me its on them if they were to get offended but like me they embrace those who embrace us.
As a Palestinian, I love when a foreigner wears a Palestinian dress or a scarf! or has a henna tattoo. It shows that this person is aware that there are different cultures around the world, and we supposed to appreciate each one another!
They were talking about cultural appropriation in a previous video too but even in that one they didn't support it just lol they didn't in this one. Yes there are some situations when they are a little hypocritical, mainly when it's not their culture, like the Apu incident. But I don't remember them complaining about cultural appropriation
Fann Culo also they arent promoting anything different stories create a different response. You cant tell me that you yourself treat all stories or cases the same. Thats just not how it works
Uhhhh nobody stole European’s “culture”tho....Europeans were the ones who forced their “culture” on every country they went to when they were on their colonizing genocide shit lol
nomoredickpics oh child no no no. You cant assume all Euro countries did that. Or even assume that euro stole cultures from asians everything was traded.
@@miki2849 still doesn't give them the right. Also my country and ethnicity never colonised stuff. Those Asians going to other countries and shoving their cultures to US, Europe and Australia.
TBH I can see why people would get upset, I can expect the same if white girl wore an African print/style dress or a sari as well, esp they don't really have a connection to the culture as well (or personal relationships from people from that culture) Im okay with people trying and exploring new cultures in a respectful way. But sometimes I see people (not just white) pick and choose parts of the culture they like. The same ones who love sushi and Korean BBQ or want to take a trip to Thailand, roll their eyes when they see a big group of Asians hanging out in pubic or make fun of new immigrant and their accent. They are open to the Asian foods that are trending in America, but think other traditional Asian foods are disgusting and uncivilized. Just my two cents from what I've personally experienced.
Nah sari is part of my culture and westerners wear it all the time when they visit and everyone actually praise them for taking part in our culture even the old people. Can't speak for other places tho
It's interesting to hear Joe say that Japanese people want black people to come and be a part and experience their culture because I've received racism from Asian people and that weirds me out and makes me feel weird about embracing part of their culture. I would really like an answer to whether or not it's going to be as uncomfortable for me as a black person to go visit in Asian countries as it would when I go visit predominately white countries?
RoseByChoice The problem isn't that they are racist. It's that they are ignorant. Most Asians in Asia appreciate the fact that foreigners want to appreciate their culture but there is a stereotype about blacks. What Asians know about blacks comes from what they see in Hollolywood and there isn't a huge population of blacks even living in Asia. However, there is an African comedian who has lived in Korea for a long time and he is very famous there - Koreans love him (look up Sam Okyere). A lot of people in Asia - particularly young people have a somewhat good approach to darker skinned foreigners because they have the internet and don't have prejudices against them. It's the older generation that can be harsh. Most old people everywhere are set in their mindset and aren't willing to change. That being said, people are going to get discriminated everywhere they go. Don't let that stop you from going to Asia and experience the culture. Asia is extremely beautiful with friendly people, landscape and culture. Do go.
Vas Pops Dark skin isn't perceived well in Asia due to it's long history of lighter skin equals you are wealthy mindset. Add Hollywood's previous perception of blacks in negative roles, and you get the (previous) Asian's perceptions of blacks in Asia. It's not good but it's slowly changing.
Generally, Asians aren't quite fond of black people. In Japan being pale is considered a good thing on top of that most they ever see of black people are in Hollywood movies, so that's not really gonna help your image. Also, rule of thumb. If one was born in America They don't generally speak for their people as a whole.
I saw this on De Franco first and my first thought was I couldn’t wait to hear what you guys were gonna say especially with Gina’s comment being in there.
I read up on how the people in China reacted to this incident and from what I read from translations is that they loved the fact that she was wearing it and look great on her
Anybody that was offended by the dress better not be caught celebrating Cinco de Mayo today. Slaps to the face will be served with a side of beans lol.
When I went to Korea Last year I wear a Korean traditional dress, from one of the places that let you wear them for a few hours or so. All the Korean people I walked passed that day said nice things to me and my Korean Husband loved it. Old ladys stopped and said I was beautiful haha It was a fun experience and yes very uncomfortable.
No matter what you do you will offend someone now. Wear it and offend for appropriation, don’t wear it and be accused of being racist. Just do you but with class.
"the most asian thing about lena dunham is her bowl haircut"- STEVE GREENE. this is a great example of how to step up the funny asian jokes. savage and hilarious and RELEVANT
I see where JKnews is coming from, but they grew in in LA and sacremento. For asians in smaller places like the Hmong in Minnesota, they get mocked for ANYTHING resembling their culture. Then to see a white girl wear it to prom after you were dragged, thats insulting. There's no reason for her to wear that dress, unlike Tiff who married a Chinese guy. It's random and unnecessary.
MsMuslimahgirl I got mocked when I wore my traditional outfit when I'm abroad. And guess what? I don't give a damn. Not only that, I also wear other cultures traditional clothing casually in town. No events whatsoever. Mockery is natural, people can react however they want. IF Asians or other minority are jailed because they're showing their culture, then labelling this as cultural appropriation is true.
MsMuslimahgirl okay, let me clear that out. I lived in Japan for 4 years. I came from south East Asia, which in Japan is seen equivalently as how Americans see Mexicans. Wore my traditional clothings casually on the street while I'm not in Tokyo, but rural area where people will commented and laughed at me. And yeah, when I came back I wore yukata and kilt casually as well in the city, even though I don't have any Japanese or Scottish blood running in me. It's just clothings. And if you understand the history of how clothings evolved, it was never in isolation, but influencing one another. Renaissance Italians started wearing silk and embroided clothings after making contact with China; modern men suit evolved from justaucorps, which itself a western interpretation of Persian court dress; Indian sherwani was Indian interpretation of British frock coat; and even qipao was Han Chinese' interpretation of Manchu people's traditional dress. With that history, anyone can take any clothings and interpret it anyway they want.
why does she need a reason? are you actually stupid? she had NO malicious intent behind wearing that and was actually showing her appreciation for the culture by doing this. you're an idiot
Girl can keep wearing that lovely dress because she's rocking it. As an Asian, if anyone of you wants to wear an item of clothing that represents any Asian culture then more power to you, as long as you're not wearing it to mock the respective culture.
I disagree with this one. When Black people’s cultural outfits or gears are being used for photoshoots then it’s “appropriation” but when it’s Asians culture then it’s “appreciation”.
JKWongFuCommunityHiga in my opinion I feel like it is because Asian just do not care. Like look at the jk crew for example they’re excusing it but in reality they don’t see how other Asians are discriminated against for their cultures but white people are praised for it. They do not face the same type of situations that black people will face. It’s all appropriation but certain situations have more negative outcomes which is why people will be offended. Jk doesn’t understand this topic so much in my eyes they think anytime you eat another’s cultures food then it’s appropriation when that isn’t the case.
YR Yu yeah I’m not saying one appropriation is worse than the other I mean people make it a big deal when it’s one culture vs another when they should both be looked at the same way. Jk makes this seem like it’s not a big deal but if somebody wore body markings from an African tribe then they would be more angered by it. They are not seeing how this issue this causes other people which is why I said that the outcome from her wearing the dress isn’t as bad because there are many Asian people excusing her.
cr1m1nalspeed all cultures are mixed weather people like it not nothing officially belongs to anyone. Because all cultures through out history are influenced by other countries and so on.
My school had an oriental prom two years ago and there was a little bit of outrage & this one Asian girl started a petition against it. At first I fell into the hype and thought it was wrong but now looking back it wasn't that big of a deal, sure they probably could've used another word like Asian or something but really, if they weren't bringing us down, making fun of, or trying to be harmful why don't we just let them be. I don't know what the actual prom was like though, if it was disrespectful or not but some people didn't go because of that.
I really enjoy watching jk news. I love the conversations about the different topics they choose to talk about. I’m super into it. I love how this is news but, not the news you see on tv. This a lot more modernized and with people around my age. It’s just relatable and entertaining! Thanks for continuing jk news! 🙏🏼 😊
that guilt/worry is so real though cuz even after taking so many levels of korean classes at the culture center i was too scared to try on the korean hanbok during one of the end of the semester celebration nights because i didnt want people to get the wrong idea or say i was appropriating. im not even white too so i felt maybe somehow that would get a worse response if i wore it
So I have a question. I am Hawaiian, Filipina, Samoan & African American and Chinese. And I recently bought a traditional Chinese Dress to wear on my birthday to honor my Asian heritage. Would it be wrong for me to do so?????
No it isn't wrong since you're part Chinese. Btw, you're part "Filipina". There is no such thing called Philippino. Your Filipino relatives probably spoke Ilocano.
I think that's dope. I don't see a lot of Asian girls wearing their traditional outfits because it isn't the "norm" to wear those for prom, but she's breaking the norm.
I'm not really taking any sides, and I personally don't have an issue with her wearing the dress, but I can see where some people are coming from. Some Asian Americans had to grow up being shamed/ made fun of for their culture, so the fact that someone who's not from their culture got to wear it and get praise from it must be hurtful to those individuals. Chinese people being okay with how she's wearing it is different from ABC's being okay with it because Chinese people from China never had to deal with the discrimination that some ABC's had to deal with in the states. Also, I feel like the way she responded to the controversy with "It's just a pretty dress" wasn't a statement that really worked in her favor for some individuals because I think if she gave some more cultural appreciation for it and really learned about the history behind it, the heat that was coming at her wouldn't have been as bad. At the end of the day though, she's just a high school girl so she doesn't deserve all the backlash that's coming at her. I also personally do not care about if she wears it or not, because she's not doing anything with a bad intention anyways. Idk just thought about playing devil's advocate
As an asian dude, I don't really mind girls wearing pretty dress, it's just people might think she's a waitress.
Trrrueeee
Dana's #1 Fan Qipio (the dress) is usually wore by Chinese Waitress in High-end Chinese Restaurants, In China some girls still wears them because of fashion too.
YR Yu no, they are still common in real life, yea waitresses in high class restaurants do wear them, that or blazers
YR Yu nope, real life too
Hahaha spot on mate. Whenever I go Yum Cha in my area, you still see waiters and waitresses wearing their Sam Fu and Cheong Sam.

I have no problem with her wearing it. Her response however where she said she respected Chinese culture and then contradicted it by calling it "just a fucking dress", reflects that she wasn't as sincere and respectful as she claimed to be.
sleepymofo Its just a dress chill

commen sense That's because they want to make that profit.
commen sense lol those offended are usually Americans, this kid is American and crying over a culture he clearly doesnt partake in
LDHBYCCMP श्रेष्ठ wtf are you talking about? If you're running a business of course you're going to try encouraging the customer to buy your products.
I saw a serpentza video where he asked a bunch of Chinese in the street if it's okay for a white woman to wear a qipao.
...
Not a single person said no, but a few said "unless they're fat." LMAO
commen sense because alot of mainland chinese worship white people.. the only interaction theyve had with them are from movies. just like the only interactions theyve had with black people are from movies. they treat race very specifically because of that

M W listen human beings have been offended since the beginning of time.Why do you think we've had wars?
Lets be more specific SJWs, SJWs doesn't have nationality
This comment is offensive. Delete it now 😤
I wore a Chinese dress for my prom too. Living in then UK is so different than the States. I was complimented by friends and teachers of all races because I had chose a pretty colour and fit for my body and was the only girl wearing that style. I took a picture with my Nepalese friend who came in something white,short and lace which is not something from her own culture. Does that mean she's 'appropriating' European or Western cultures?
I chose the dress because I like Asian cultures and it was genuinely so pretty and unique. People need to relax about this. Culture is something beautiful and exciting to learn about - we should allow it to be shared and appreciated.
In the US it's only ever racist or discrimination when it's done by a white person.
Because the US was founded by Straight White Men.... so the country is racist, sexist, and homophobic (transphobic)

the term chinese is very diluted tbh
YR Yu is being way too sensivitve. Im asian amerian and it dont offend me. Matter of fact, I like it that you wore something different.

Michael Park it is pretty.
Also what about all the other kids wearing traditional promdresses. I mean prom is part of American culture and how can u deny sm wearing clothes. I mean clothes, tf, it shouldn't matter the situation or who you are any type of cloth hanging on you should be fine
manchu culture
High Kicks Asian Chinese from China dont know much shit about the racist history of America. They're differently impacted as opposed to asian americans. But I dont think its a big deal either she didnt wear it to disrespect the culture.
High Kick AsianYeah its the same in Korea. They see people into Kpop and wearing hanbok and they find it cool foreigners think their culture is really intresting.
Damn why couldn't Gina be in this too cause she kept talking about this on Twitter.
Edit: also they didn't talk about how the dude who called the girl out first was actually racist and said a lot of "appropriation" tweets.
CuernosBeste nah not appropriation, dude said the n word loads of times which is worse

sage lee I was saying the word as a joke. Also he has said the n word a lot which usually I don't care about but has used "ni**er."
You know what, the world is suppose to be united now, which means we SHOULD use each others things to prove that we really are a united species. If you complain about this you're afraid of this unity and you want to divide the world again and bring us backward instead of forward.
Cobrakay2003 not when black kids are being kept from prom and school for having black hair
queenhiphop1002 Then that's a situation that we can address together, black, asian, latina/o, and yes even white. Just because a problem exists doesn't mean we should let it slow us down in our steps towards acceptance. We can address it together as one cause.
BurningheartofSILVER allowing people to participate in their own culture shouldn’t have to be accepted. Leave mine alone and I’ll be happy
queenhiphop1002 *"Yours"* . See that's the problem. Something about my comment made you assume that I somehow can't be black. Well news flash, I'm straight from Nigeria, so what's "yours" is also "mine". What you're calling for is a type of segregation in disguise. How does that seem like progress to you? What exactly do you think that will solve, or how can that possibly be better? I genuinely want to get your POV because no matter how many, blog posts, or articles, or videos I see on it, that argument never makes sense to me. It seems so backwards. If you didnt want people from other races to partake in the discussion then why bring it up at all? Why have national movements like BLM when you don't want the majority of the nation to get involved?
I mean as an American Indian its like what you trampled us out now you want our sweatlodge rights and headdresses not knowing the meaning why we wear them.
Phil defranko put Ginas post about this on his video!!! (;

I just got back from Korea on Monday and let me tell you.. I had not one but two Koreans asking me to wear a hanbok/traditional dress. One of them was an elderly lady that was going out of her way to find me one in my size. I kept saying no thank you because I knew they didn’t have it in my size but yeah
I've said this before but I'm gonna say it again...
*Only in America.*
Because it is the most diverse and social country.
Bryan James don't know about the diversity for sure but I give it credit for being social, and for freedom of speech.
Still doesn't help the fact that other countries don't have this problem because we're not as confused when it comes to race/ racial issues. America is still working that out till this day.
I may have exaggerated on the most diverse part but you don't see many countries celebrate other cultures' holidays.
And it's actually pretty remarkable that from all the different bullshit the US has gone through with racial issues from slavery to what we have now, it's a big jump. I know slavery didn't start in the US and it still exists today but the point is that the US came a long way. The only reason different countries pay attention to the US a lot is because of the advancement made. This upcoming country made by different backgrounds bringing their contributions shows a lot of promise.
Only the left
EU is being hit pretty hard by it.
People now a day is so sensitive like loosen up
Omo it's a Duck I seriously wonder why
Your profile suit your comment
+Omo it's a Duck Luckily it's a very small minority that were offended. The vast majority of people called them out.
i wish tiff mentioned on how jeremy lam was a hypocrite being anti-white and dropping the n-word alot on his twitter but whatevs they get the idea haha
Esther Kim Maybe tomorrow. Baby steps
I see what your talking about but I don’t have a problem with other ethnicities saying “nigga” aslong as they not white/European..I grew up around Hella Cambodians, Vietnamese nd Koreans Nd nvr bothers me I see thm as black anyways lol even Hispanics
Marathon Banks
Yeah, but it’s more like for his level of SJW-ness, his tweets are very hypocritical if he’s offended by this.
Marathon Banks the problem is not whether it's okay to say the n word or not. The problem is that by saying the n word, he's being a hypocrite.
I heard that many people in China liked her wearing it
"WHERE'SA COSTUMER?!" HAD MY DYING 😂😂
Should have got Gina on for this one :-)
Where were these people when Mary Jane was wearing a "Chinese Dress" in Spiderman?
GLO JOURNALS Learning to walk.
iTouchin this is accurate as hell
I also wore a Chinese dress when I went to prom back in the day. I also had a Chinese guy as my prom date and he thought it was super hot. Sooooo I dunno I guess it just depends on the person?
You guys had me dying at the japanese impressions at the end LMAO
In Jessica and Tiffany's case, it is perfectly fine for them to wear kimono/chipao, especially Tiffany. Her husband is Chinese for crying out loud. She is a Chinese guy's lawfully wedded wife, she will make a half-Chinese baby in the future, of course she is entitled to wear chipao! There is nothing wrong with wearing the traditional costume of your significant other's culture.
Yuju Ti wait, based on your comment, so unless you're somehow connected to the culture by blood, you are still not allowed to wear it?
Husband and wife/ boyfriend and girl friend are not related by blood. I said there is nothing wrong to wear your significant otehr's traditional costume, I didn't say you must "somehow connected to the culture by blood".
Yuju Ti I said somehow because you mentioned making a half-chinese baby. Hence "somehow", not directly. Also, you still didn't answer my question.
Michael Panggabean You just over-analyzed my comment. I left this comment because Joe mentioned Jessica was so nervous to wear kimono even though it was Joe's mom asking her to wear it. That's why I said "In Jessica and Tiffany"s case...". I mentioned half-Chinese baby because I want to emphasize Tiffany is part of a Chinese family now, when she wears chipao she is celebrating her husband's culture, not mocking it or playing a character. All I want to say is that no one should judge Jessica and Tiffany if they wear kimono/chipao. I still don't understand why you think I am saying one should somehow relate to the culture by blood in order to wear the custom of that culture. Jessica and Tiffany are not related to Joe and Cassy by blood! I have tried my best to answer your question. If you are still not satisfied, all I can say is you read between the lines WAY too much. There is no hidden meaning. I mean what I said.
Yuju Ti okay, let me rephrase it for you to hopefully make it easier for to digest. You said in Jessica and Tiffany's case it's fine. Now, is it fine for the girl in the article to wear the clothing? By mentioning that Jessica's and Tiffany's case is perfectly fine, you're differentiating the 2 categories of people wearing ethnic clothings there.
Another example, I'm not Japanese, nor Scottish, yet I love to casually wear yukata and kilt anywhere I go. There's no special occasion, no cultural events. I just wear it like any other pieces of clothings I have (and no, this is not rhetorical, I really do wear them every now and then). Is that "perfectly fine" to you, or not?
I saw this on Twitter and I wasn’t offended. I just saw a lot of people smacking on her and I was like∶ Yikes. Y’all do you.
I bet those 2 dislikes are the people that got offended. Siiiiiis, spend your time on something relevant.
Yess I was waiting on this
People will find any reason to be offended.
Where was the article about the black girl wearing one of those dresses when she was attacked and I’m pretty sure that if she didn’t look cute she would not have gotten this much support
It's pretty funny. All the comments I read were of people telling her she's wrong and that they hope she learns from her mistake. No one was even mad.
“I love lesbians” -Joe
“God bless lesbians” -Bart
I’m whezzing same energy
This girl wore an Indian style dress to my prom and she wasn't even Indian, but nobody questioned her because it look great on her.
I saw this story and first thought was " Run Tiff they're gonna get ya "
David's been putting in work and it shows!!! Happy for you!!
Podcast please
My mother in law(Chinese) bought me FIVE traditional dresses when I went to China. She was so happy when I wore them during reunions with my husband’s family, and everyone wanted to take pictures of me. Oh and did I forget to mention that I’m Mexican! Yeah I really don’t see what’s the big deal, and my husband was not one bit offended by this. People really need to get a life!
The reason that the girl sparked debate is because she posted tweets saying that Asians sucks in the past and the photo is considered mocking. Thats why. So it wasn’t appreciation but appropriate is when you take things from a culture, and unlike tiffany who honors her husbands culture & is trying to learn chinese, this girl has posted a bunch of bad things and then wore that dress. Appropriation is wearing a sombrero, eating tacos and celebrating Cinco de Mayo, while voting for trump who calls mexicans rapists and criminals. While also not being aware of issues surrounding a culture.
You know Trump was talking about illegals crossing the border and he said not all. If you check many women crossing the border are raped (esp. by "Coyotes").
His proposed immigration bill was more than fair, especially compared to Mexico's immigration laws (which are actually racist).
..
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
This episode had me dying 😂😂😂😂😂
Can you imagine going for a night out with these lot ^^ I'd probably pee myself laughing haha
Looking Grrrrreat David the work is paying off keep it up cheryl
God bless lesbians
princess clarissa lets do it then ?
well if you're religious god won't really be blessing them huh
Only the hot ones
Oh my goodness!!! I already heard about this and was wondering what you all thought. I was afraid you guys would be all mad about this, cuz I would have been very pissed off and disappointed but wow. I'm glad we see eye to eye on this. I love you guys
I wasn't offended by it, I think it's silly that many people were but I kinda understand why they got upset; if a white girl wore traditional African clothing to her prom then the internet would've went apeshit.
He was giving an example bro ^
m o n o n o k e i wouldnt care culture is meant to be shared, American culture is literally all cultures mixed together.
m o n o n o k e It's like white people calling out anyone other race for wearing a t-shirt etc, it's beyond ridiculous.
Same
people from the actual country loves it when foreigners wear their traditional clothes
i don't get why these guys get so salty about a dress
I truly love you guys
This is like the Mexicans who have started complaining about celebrating 5 de Mayo. My entire family hispanic and we've always celebrated, dont nobody actually care who celebrates with us. Be white and celebrate, we dont care just dont try and offer us fake tacos, we'll get you real ones.
Kogi Bulgogi The cinco de mayo thing is not about white people celebrating it it's about Trump supporters celebrating it.
Mon X yea that part of the argument makes sense, i agree with that tho most of it has been ppl talkin bout "my culture isnt your excuse to get drunk. That isnt even actually our independence day". Im over ppl being fake woke about it. We all know even hispanic people use it as a day to get drunk and have some good food.
Kogi Bulgogi it was Americans that taught me about cinco de mayo. Lol is that fucked up? I dont really care. If my own parents didnt teach me its on them if they were to get offended but like me they embrace those who embrace us.
I live in mexico and the crazy part is we don't celebrate 5 de mayo, it's more a USA thing.
stoners stone i Think so but at the same time i don't give a fck
I swear I couldn't stop laughing my lungs hurt 😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣
People should be able to wear whatever they like.
Sam Geee i agree with you in that even if you support real Madrid ronaldo fanboy lol
How do you know i support madrid? lol
As a Palestinian, I love when a foreigner wears a Palestinian dress or a scarf! or has a henna tattoo. It shows that this person is aware that there are different cultures around the world, and we supposed to appreciate each one another!
Whenever any news involves Asian culture; the only opinions I care about is JK fam! Because they know how to keep it 100 with everyone no matter what
“Holy Shittt, where are all da custamer” 😂👏🏼😭
Jk must have a severe case of bipolar disorder, as they complain all the time about cultural appreciation and cultural representation. Like wtf?
Fann Culo Not today
They were talking about cultural appropriation in a previous video too but even in that one they didn't support it just lol they didn't in this one. Yes there are some situations when they are a little hypocritical, mainly when it's not their culture, like the Apu incident. But I don't remember them complaining about cultural appropriation
ayushi I've been watching them for a long time. Maybe today they stop promoting that
Fann Culo I’ve mostly heard them saying that the whole cultural appropriation thing is stupid?
Fann Culo also they arent promoting anything different stories create a different response. You cant tell me that you yourself treat all stories or cases the same. Thats just not how it works
I think it's more appropriation when it's a Halloween costume and people are mocking the culture ...
I guess European and western cultures should be angry about other cultures using our wedding dresses😂😂 gtfo
commen sense Yup
Uhhhh nobody stole European’s “culture”tho....Europeans were the ones who forced their “culture” on every country they went to when they were on their colonizing genocide shit lol
nomoredickpics oh child no no no. You cant assume all Euro countries did that. Or even assume that euro stole cultures from asians everything was traded.
nomoredickpics
You make a good point actually.
@@miki2849 still doesn't give them the right. Also my country and ethnicity never colonised stuff. Those Asians going to other countries and shoving their cultures to US, Europe and Australia.
Haven't been watching jknews for a min and David, yo you're looking good. Keep it up!
TBH I can see why people would get upset, I can expect the same if white girl wore an African print/style dress or a sari as well, esp they don't really have a connection to the culture as well (or personal relationships from people from that culture)
Im okay with people trying and exploring new cultures in a respectful way. But sometimes I see people (not just white) pick and choose parts of the culture they like. The same ones who love sushi and Korean BBQ or want to take a trip to Thailand, roll their eyes when they see a big group of Asians hanging out in pubic or make fun of new immigrant and their accent. They are open to the Asian foods that are trending in America, but think other traditional Asian foods are disgusting and uncivilized.
Just my two cents from what I've personally experienced.
Nah sari is part of my culture and westerners wear it all the time when they visit and everyone actually praise them for taking part in our culture even the old people. Can't speak for other places tho
You guys really crack me up! Your conversations sound like the ones i have with my friends
It's interesting to hear Joe say that Japanese people want black people to come and be a part and experience their culture because I've received racism from Asian people and that weirds me out and makes me feel weird about embracing part of their culture. I would really like an answer to whether or not it's going to be as uncomfortable for me as a black person to go visit in Asian countries as it would when I go visit predominately white countries?
RoseByChoice The problem isn't that they are racist. It's that they are ignorant. Most Asians in Asia appreciate the fact that foreigners want to appreciate their culture but there is a stereotype about blacks. What Asians know about blacks comes from what they see in Hollolywood and there isn't a huge population of blacks even living in Asia. However, there is an African comedian who has lived in Korea for a long time and he is very famous there - Koreans love him (look up Sam Okyere). A lot of people in Asia - particularly young people have a somewhat good approach to darker skinned foreigners because they have the internet and don't have prejudices against them. It's the older generation that can be harsh. Most old people everywhere are set in their mindset and aren't willing to change. That being said, people are going to get discriminated everywhere they go. Don't let that stop you from going to Asia and experience the culture. Asia is extremely beautiful with friendly people, landscape and culture. Do go.
RoseByChoice That wasn't true. Dark skin isn't received well in Japan or China.
Vas Pops Dark skin isn't perceived well in Asia due to it's long history of lighter skin equals you are wealthy mindset. Add Hollywood's previous perception of blacks in negative roles, and you get the (previous) Asian's perceptions of blacks in Asia. It's not good but it's slowly changing.
Allison Tran You should watch SerpentZa videos about this subject.
Generally, Asians aren't quite fond of black people. In Japan being pale is considered a good thing on top of that most they ever see of black people are in Hollywood movies, so that's not really gonna help your image. Also, rule of thumb. If one was born in America They don't generally speak for their people as a whole.
I saw this on De Franco first and my first thought was I couldn’t wait to hear what you guys were gonna say especially with Gina’s comment being in there.
Steve was on a roll in this episode!
I read up on how the people in China reacted to this incident and from what I read from translations is that they loved the fact that she was wearing it and look great on her
Thank You. They were showing their appreciation for H3 PRODUCTIONS with their pose but of course people love to attack for literally no reason.
People complain about the separation of cultures and then complain when our cultures are being embraced by others.
David looks good when he wears real clothes
djdkjddnjxidksjs He's appropriating western clothes.
Yassssss I've been waiting for this!!!💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃
Waiting for the Kanye West video
+Stbhs x Kanye "slavery was a choice" West. That should be a fun one.
Avenger yeah i really want to see that episode
Anybody that was offended by the dress better not be caught celebrating Cinco de Mayo today. Slaps to the face will be served with a side of beans lol.
You need to get Steve and Nikki in one show again! Those were the best!
‘I think the most Asian thing about her is her bowl haircut.’ LMFAOOOOOOO 💀💀💀
When I went to Korea Last year I wear a Korean traditional dress, from one of the places that let you wear them for a few hours or so. All the Korean people I walked passed that day said nice things to me and my Korean Husband loved it. Old ladys stopped and said I was beautiful haha It was a fun experience and yes very uncomfortable.
Good for you. Don't let anyone make you feel ashamed for it.
Too damn funny. Laughed so hard till I almost crapped myself.
I always wanted to wear different cultures dresses, but never felt right about it because I thought it would of offended people for doing it.
No matter what you do you will offend someone now. Wear it and offend for appropriation, don’t wear it and be accused of being racist. Just do you but with class.
As long as its not a dashiki or something. Black America will be on your ass
"the most asian thing about lena dunham is her bowl haircut"- STEVE GREENE. this is a great example of how to step up the funny asian jokes. savage and hilarious and RELEVANT
I see where JKnews is coming from, but they grew in in LA and sacremento. For asians in smaller places like the Hmong in Minnesota, they get mocked for ANYTHING resembling their culture. Then to see a white girl wear it to prom after you were dragged, thats insulting. There's no reason for her to wear that dress, unlike Tiff who married a Chinese guy. It's random and unnecessary.
MsMuslimahgirl I got mocked when I wore my traditional outfit when I'm abroad. And guess what? I don't give a damn. Not only that, I also wear other cultures traditional clothing casually in town. No events whatsoever. Mockery is natural, people can react however they want. IF Asians or other minority are jailed because they're showing their culture, then labelling this as cultural appropriation is true.
go abroad? its not a lived, daily experience so you cant even speak on this. Ok reading the rest, you make no sense...
MsMuslimahgirl okay, let me clear that out. I lived in Japan for 4 years. I came from south East Asia, which in Japan is seen equivalently as how Americans see Mexicans. Wore my traditional clothings casually on the street while I'm not in Tokyo, but rural area where people will commented and laughed at me. And yeah, when I came back I wore yukata and kilt casually as well in the city, even though I don't have any Japanese or Scottish blood running in me.
It's just clothings. And if you understand the history of how clothings evolved, it was never in isolation, but influencing one another. Renaissance Italians started wearing silk and embroided clothings after making contact with China; modern men suit evolved from justaucorps, which itself a western interpretation of Persian court dress; Indian sherwani was Indian interpretation of British frock coat; and even qipao was Han Chinese' interpretation of Manchu people's traditional dress.
With that history, anyone can take any clothings and interpret it anyway they want.
why does she need a reason? are you actually stupid? she had NO malicious intent behind wearing that and was actually showing her appreciation for the culture by doing this. you're an idiot
Just read this again you’re still so dumb
Girl can keep wearing that lovely dress because she's rocking it. As an Asian, if anyone of you wants to wear an item of clothing that represents any Asian culture then more power to you, as long as you're not wearing it to mock the respective culture.
davids jean jacket didn't make the submission any better ;)
"Horree shit, Where'sa customer!" xD
People who are mad about this don't watch it
You know I don't remember the last time they actually stayed on topic for an entire video
I disagree with this one. When Black people’s cultural outfits or gears are being used for photoshoots then it’s “appropriation” but when it’s Asians culture then it’s “appreciation”.
JKWongFuCommunityHiga in my opinion I feel like it is because Asian just do not care. Like look at the jk crew for example they’re excusing it but in reality they don’t see how other Asians are discriminated against for their cultures but white people are praised for it. They do not face the same type of situations that black people will face. It’s all appropriation but certain situations have more negative outcomes which is why people will be offended. Jk doesn’t understand this topic so much in my eyes they think anytime you eat another’s cultures food then it’s appropriation when that isn’t the case.
YR Yu yeah I’m not saying one appropriation is worse than the other I mean people make it a big deal when it’s one culture vs another when they should both be looked at the same way. Jk makes this seem like it’s not a big deal but if somebody wore body markings from an African tribe then they would be more angered by it. They are not seeing how this issue this causes other people which is why I said that the outcome from her wearing the dress isn’t as bad because there are many Asian people excusing her.
I wanna cry😭 it has been such a long time since I watched one of your videos 😭
editors 10% off payment for not listening to Joe :D
Basketball was invented in Canada, so if I see any non-Canadian play it...*baaam* *baam baam* left and right🤣
Isn’t being against cultural appropriation worse than actual cultural appropriation? Lol
Hua Spirit You really don’t see it?
cr1m1nalspeed all cultures are mixed weather people like it not nothing officially belongs to anyone. Because all cultures through out history are influenced by other countries and so on.
WYNOLLO TV I know
cr1m1nalspeed 👌
"HORYY SHIT"
is that a jojo reference Jo?!
Wow David, he’s looking great in this outfit! 😊
It must be exhausting to look for reasons to be offended all of the time.
My school had an oriental prom two years ago and there was a little bit of outrage & this one Asian girl started a petition against it. At first I fell into the hype and thought it was wrong but now looking back it wasn't that big of a deal, sure they probably could've used another word like Asian or something but really, if they weren't bringing us down, making fun of, or trying to be harmful why don't we just let them be. I don't know what the actual prom was like though, if it was disrespectful or not but some people didn't go because of that.
I really enjoy watching jk news. I love the conversations about the different topics they choose to talk about. I’m super into it. I love how this is news but, not the news you see on tv. This a lot more modernized and with people around my age. It’s just relatable and entertaining! Thanks for continuing jk news! 🙏🏼 😊
Yo.. Shout out to joe, i knew for sure ur a man of culture. Keep it up , proud of you.
“Idk wtf that’s shit called” 😭😂
David in a dashiki would actually be dope
that guilt/worry is so real though cuz even after taking so many levels of korean classes at the culture center i was too scared to try on the korean hanbok during one of the end of the semester celebration nights because i didnt want people to get the wrong idea or say i was appropriating. im not even white too so i felt maybe somehow that would get a worse response if i wore it
Joe: eDITOR PUT THIS TWEET IN
Editor: *completely ignores* 😂😂
So I have a question. I am Hawaiian, Filipina, Samoan & African American and Chinese. And I recently bought a traditional Chinese Dress to wear on my birthday to honor my Asian heritage. Would it be wrong for me to do so?????
No it isn't wrong since you're part Chinese. Btw, you're part "Filipina". There is no such thing called Philippino. Your Filipino relatives probably spoke Ilocano.
I think that's dope. I don't see a lot of Asian girls wearing their traditional outfits because it isn't the "norm" to wear those for prom, but she's breaking the norm.
Yeah, it is a little uncomfortable, but there are modernize ones now.
the fact that people don't mind this yet get mad over box braids really says something about how much respect asian culture really gets
I'm not really taking any sides, and I personally don't have an issue with her wearing the dress, but I can see where some people are coming from. Some Asian Americans had to grow up being shamed/ made fun of for their culture, so the fact that someone who's not from their culture got to wear it and get praise from it must be hurtful to those individuals. Chinese people being okay with how she's wearing it is different from ABC's being okay with it because Chinese people from China never had to deal with the discrimination that some ABC's had to deal with in the states. Also, I feel like the way she responded to the controversy with "It's just a pretty dress" wasn't a statement that really worked in her favor for some individuals because I think if she gave some more cultural appreciation for it and really learned about the history behind it, the heat that was coming at her wouldn't have been as bad. At the end of the day though, she's just a high school girl so she doesn't deserve all the backlash that's coming at her. I also personally do not care about if she wears it or not, because she's not doing anything with a bad intention anyways. Idk just thought about playing devil's advocate
People want unity but can't handle what comes with it. This world is amazing.
Dude its a goddamn dress! There's nothing racist about fabric!!!
Looking good, David! 🙌🏼
