My Culture is not your prom dress 2: electric boogaloo.

As a chinese, you're welcome to do so. It's Lunar new year, there's nothing special or specific about it. Pop a beer, play firework, or whatever. Make up your culture for celebrate the new year, that's how culture is born! There's not even a standard for it in China, different region have different way to celebrate. And each household even have their own way to celebrate! How is any of this gatekeeping make sense i don't know.

It's so sad to see a melting pot now call for separation.

Gatekeeping is a special form of being special

How pathetic do you have to be to gatekeep a celebration?

These people want to show, so hard, that they care but in the end they don't realize they are practically pushing for segregation.

I'm Jewish. I invite you all to celebrate any Jewish holiday. But they're all stupid religious bullshit other than the food part, so I wouldn't bother.

Nah, as a cracker ass American I think I will celebrate Lunar New Year and immerse myself in the lore and customs of people I share this plant with because history rocks my fucking socks.

A friendly reminder that gatekeepers are walking, talking mindrot.

Nothing friendly about gatekeeping, it’s just a patronizing way to be a giant fucking bitch no one wants to be around.

Chinatowns and Mayors of metropolitan cities with Chinatowns : Here's the schedule of Lunar new year celebrations, come along and enjoy the culture!

This gatekeeping idiot :

I invite everyone here to Pancake Day on Tuesday :)

Friendly reminder that nearly everyone on Twitter are fuckheads.

Cultural appropriation hater VS Cultural sharing enjoyer

I feel like her reply is just as likely to be to call him a race traitor or whatever. It's hard to reason with people who gatekeep that hard

she says while wearing clothes made in said countries typing the message on a device also made overseas.

"friendly reminder that if you're white, you'd better be uptight to the point of constipation at all times, except for moments of stress-induced diarrhea"

That ratio lol

I mean, it's not like there aren't large communities of Asian immigrants all over the world. In most countries, and definitely the English speaking ones, I almost guarantee your country celebrates it somewhere. Beyond all the other problems with this, it erases the experiences of Asian immigrants, I live in the US and I know for a fact there's going to be tons of celebrations here for it organized by people whose cultures it is.

I recall when I was first informed about “cultural appropriation” and how it boiled down to the concept that if a white person enjoys any aspect of a non-white culture it was an act of racism. Gotta love the gravity well of ultra liberal bullshit warping back in on itself and becoming fascism.
