The whole thing was utterly retarded. I remember back at the time having a good laugh about all the racist Japanese people in Japan who wear business suits. How dare they appropriate western clothing! Of course you'd get some dumbass claiming it was different because oppression or something, which is pretty damn funny that they somehow snoozed through history class.

Personally I think these sorts of attitudes border on "dangerously racist" since the very idea that the clothing one may wear is determined by their race seems adjacent to the idea that one must wear certain clothing based on their race, which if you can see the connection congratulations, you get a gold star! And a free trip to study camp!

it's like the Smithsonian disaster where they put out a flyer literally saying Black people can't be expected to speak correctly or show up on time or be educated

but they're on the side of Good, so they wouldn't support something that wasn't!

that's also why they flip so quickly on everything: you'd be fired or expelled if you didn't click a little box saying "Robin DiAngelo is right about everything, and I certify that I am a racist who can never really interact with Black people and not just clicking this box ti keep my job/degree" or "nobody gets accused of rape for no reason, as a penis-bearing monster I certify that I am already guilty"; a month later they're condemning everything they made mandatory
