Yeah, the complicated nature is that Chinese people weren’t offended, and white people were.

Yes, it was a kimono. A qinao is a type of kimono. As it says in the article.

I’m not lying, and I haven’t made any claims other than that this incident was a false alarm. Don’t confuse me for the other user.

For the record, my view is that cultural appropriation is a real and serious issue, but some people are quick to jump the gun with such accusations, out of a misplaced (and potentially racist) paternalistic need to “defend” marginalised people, as if they themselves can’t call people out, especially when said people are saying such a thing isn’t even offensive, just like the OP.

See? That’s the complicated part. I can actually describe it. You didn’t even try. Just waved at the word as if it made your point for you.
