FUCKING LOSERS would harass her over a dress

the things you are saying are all wrong, good job buddy. PROGRESSIVES are not OPPRESSORS they are not AUTHORITARIANS they are not in favor of military and police saturation and power like CONSERVATIVES 

I would say that the people angry/bothered about this are having prejudice in thinking that only Chinese people can use a dress like that.   Ironical how "all the progress" is just making people going in circles.

This article feels pretty fakeish. Some low-grade twitter hobo yelled some stuff and nothing in the real world happened.

Yes, you're right, many tribes still exist and struggle to keep the culture. Still, some tribes are actually extinct and even for the still existing tribes, a lot of the cultural heritage is lost. Which is a shame.

Anyway, I hope the US finds it way to accept the culture of the native americans into their general culture. This could help to define a very own american national identity. So far the US seems to be mostly a european culture. I bet in school you all learn Shakespeare and ancient greek history. If you would also learn american history before 1500 and native art, it probably would already change the understanding of your own nation. Do you have classes at school/college to learn native american languages? I guess there are classes for spanish, french or italian.

I agree with you on the guilt and shame thing. The problem herein probably is the the black-and-white thinking. Nobody is singularly "good" or "bad". Another thing is, that I get the feeling, that citizens of the US often very strongly identify with their nation. That's a thing that can change. We in germany often criticize our government or our foreign policy, if we don't agree. That doesn't mean we don't feel as germans or want to live elsewhere. It is hard enough to take responsibility for my own actions, it is often not easy to see my own faults and admit them. Doing the same for my country is impossible. I see myself as an own person in the country, the course of the whole is defined by 80 million people and I can clearly say I don't stand behind EVERYTHING my country does. So a 'my country is #1' mindset looks for me very much like something to avoid pondering consequences or ethical implications. I might be wrong, but it seems for me that way.

This is like the biggest non issue I have ever seen. Doesn't warrant discussion or even this post, yet here I am.

Both the girls and guys poses are references to H3H3 group on youtube. 

The girls are doing the papa bless meme, that makes fun of papa murpheys.

The guys are doing VN for vape nation, making fun of that.

I was being sarcastic and agree with you. If she was using the dress to purposely make fun of the Chinese culture, then yes, that would be a problem. The fact she's wearing it because it's a pretty dress and fits the tasteful American version of the occasion, is no different than a Chinese man or woman wearing a business suit, pretty much no matter what their doing, even if it's not business, because it's just a suit. There is nothing saying a business suit can only be worn by western cultures and that anyone else who dares wear one must follow certain specific western rules and guidelines while doing so. Same goes for the dress. It's not like she's purely a civilian and wore a military uniform or something like that.

this is not right wing but far left sjw territory

That is just one of the more reasons I don't even care when left wing demonize me, say I'm stupid or any other moronic name calling to say I'm different than them.

Each of those events make me feel less worried of they calling me "far right" just because I couldn't care less to their problematization.
