So confused right now.... it's all about mermaids and kimonos

And i don't know what happened but i got called a racist for asking what she meant?

It's ok, what she said was pure bollocks. A white girl getting accused of cultural appropriation for wearing a kimono to her prom has no bearing on people being angry about a fictional character not being the race that they assign to it. They are two separate issues and can be addressed as such.

Saying that racists are usually hypocrites is a generalisation that is difficult to back up. You might as well say that racists usually eat cheese sandwiches. I mean, it sounds legit but can you provide statistics for that? 🤔

@SW-User how do you westerners feel about chinese mermaids dressed in kimonos while speaking french?
@Miram what colour is the tail dammit!

@InOtterWords i am not gonna do that. It is haram to lift up her kimono and check

funny those same people say her race does not matter because she is fictional, yet they fight tooth and nail defending why she is black and if you dont agree, you're racist.
Those people love this type of shit not because of the reason they claim but they love accusing people of racism
@Torsten if youre gonna be this touchy, life is gonna be a nightmare dude.🤷‍♀️
And nothing will ever be resolved.

In fact , the hippocracy of you insinuating some sort of racism by Otter , is the very thing you complained people do with these things :

.

For someone who seems to dish it out , you get rather upset when you feel slighted, even if it isnt there .
But accusing others of what youve done yourself, and previosly complained against ....is amusing.

When you argue for the sheer sake of arguing , one is bound to slip up .

Ahhh, well.

I think im done , this is reminding me of dippy joe 2.0

@OogieBoogie If i was accusing her of being racist, I would have straight up said that but I said people love it. Funny how you mentioned before about twisting others words over a agenda and yet you're doing it now.

You basically say I am something and seem baffled on me defending myself against it?
you also dont answer the question I just asked of course and instead try telling me I am being touchy.
Honestly why did you inject yourself in this convo in the first place?
If you're done, go like I i have been trying to do for a while now
@Torsten id be happy to .
Thanks .😊👍
I love looking at videos about culture, and am slowly learning about people amd places .
And the Japanese love it when other cultures appropriate or try out their culture .
They see it as a good thing . It makes them proud that other people love Japanese ideas, fashion , tradition etc.

Usually the only ones kicking up a stink about it are non-japanese people being over woke about something they know nothing about 😂

Many other cultures are similar - they love sharing their traditional idenity with the world.
Those igornant neophytes need to learn 'em selves up b4 they open their traps and think they can correctly speak for other people .

There's video after video showing how much the Japanese love this idea.

Cultural interest and appropiriation brings the world closer together 🤗
@OogieBoogie i love to travel and discover about new cultures .
People need to be a little more open minded
@InOtterWords i think the problem is , too many now days are centred upon themselves , and assume their values should be held by everybody .

They havent actually learnt to open their eyes and see beyond themselves , or their culture , or their country . Too busy standing on a soapbox telling others what they cant and cant do , while everyone else is out there doing it anyways😂
@OogieBoogie so true

Your time is wasted on someone who believes that systematic racism does not exist in the US, despite all evidence showing otherwise.
@Miram yes

Got quite heated 💙

@InOtterWords The other person in the argument was the woman in your thread. It is her new account
@Miram aaah!

Thank you
It's a typical debate on SW: spouting some nonsense and claiming a win when someone asks for more details, because logic 🤷
@NerdyPotato and abuse the other party
@InOtterWords yep, that's too. You can't win without calling the other names. 🙄

Psychological projection at its finest

"You can't accuse me of something I do if I accuse you first"

I find kimonos highly offensive too
@SW-User but they're so silky

@InOtterWords it’s the way they wrap it just makes a mockery out of everything I stand for

@Yulianna i just don't wanna break the TOS

They appear to have me blocked. I guess I was out of reach for their logic at some time in the past.
Well, that was surreal. 🤔
@bijouxbroussard i really am puzzled
