@dadegroot @saper tbh it makes sense when it's about groups like Native Americans, whose culture is actually in danger.

It seems like they are extrapolating that to other cultures and assume that eg. Chinese people will be offended (they won't) if you try to mimic their traditional looks.

@grainloom @dadegroot As a retarded eastern european I don't get it

@grainloom @saper As far as I can tell, the only time it makes sense is if you're trying to profit or denigrate by using cultural symbols from another culture, otherwise, it is just an homage.
