People are outraged that Disney is selling a Polynesian costume for children, based on the Moana movie.

Chelsie Haunani Fairchild, who described herself as Polynesian and a native Hawaiian, said the costume was an example of cultural appropriation. It was wrong to sell a costume that allowed children to pretend to be another race, she said.
"It's disgusting," she said in a video posted to YouTube. "This is inappropriate, and it's not okay."


I am of Japanese origin and have NO problems with white girls dressed in kimonos, or young white boys dressed as ninjas or samurai.

This just pisses me off.

Political correctness has gone to far several years ago. lol
Disney has been making movies about different cultures for decades, they shouldn't have banned the costume because one social justice wacko is offended.

I haven't seen this Polynesian persons cultural appropriation rant video, but Im willing to bet she made it while wearing western culture attire.

Such people have their heads so far up their ass they can't possibly see that they're part of the problem. So what if a child is pretending to be another race? Children pretend to be lots of things!

You don't hear astronauts bitching that children pretend to be them despite not going through the rigorous screening processes they've had to endure.
You don't hear doctors complaining about children playing doctor despite not having a medical degree.

That's literally how absurd I think this whole "cultural appropriation" spat is. Pull up your big girl pants and get on with your day, Miss Fairchild.

Well I'm Canadian and I have to no problem with kids dressing up as Mounties or adult women dressing up as sexy mounties.

I agree with you. You know what happens to cultures that don't get approarated?

They go extinct, because eventually even they're own young people don't want it.

This none sense also puts poor people out of work. Picture some Mexican guy makes and sells Sombros to Tourists for a living, but all of a sudden they stop buying, so he won't feel like they're stealing his culture, is he going to thank these assholes for taking the food off his table?

People have freedom of speech, and these hyper PC fools are just hurting people, not helping.

Speaking for all mice, they are appalled that their genus is being appropriated. How would you feel if mice started wearing human ears for fun?
