The kimono shit was hilarious for how dumb it was. I remember the people protesting it were not Japanese anyway I think they were of Chinese or Filipino descent. I wish I'd been there I'd have asked them if their opposition to the kimono is based on their racist hatred of Japan? (And well, hatred maybe justified to some extend considering how the Japanese behaved to their neighbors for the early part of the 20th century)

Funniest part was if you go to any tourist spot in Japan you'll find loads of business selling kimono or renting them for people to play dress up, and they don't give a fuck if their customers are Japanese or not cause they smartly want to make money. The real reason nobody wears them regularly anymore is frankly because they are a bitch to put on.

yeah, they moved to goalposts to "it's about yellowface, so Japanese in Japan haven't experienced that but all Asian-Americans have": it's rationalizing, not reasoning

this full-frontal attack was nowhere to be seen when people were suspended for teaching the common phrase 那个, of course
