[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this board is probably majority white, but I wonder if those of you saying “of course you can, you dummy!” Are not white. White people know you can’t wear stuff or hairstyles or anything of ethnicities where the people are not white without possibly being horribly offensive. We are constantly told we cannot do it. That’s fine with me, whatever makes other people comfortable is fine. But don’t act like this stuff is universally accepted. [/quote]

You clearly aren't married to or good friends with someone from a different culture or you would already know the answer to OP's question - totally fine, shows respect and appreciation of the culture.

Now if you are a white person who wore a sari to your white friend's wedding in rural Kentucky, that would be weird.[/quote]

It is weird, but is it ‘Culture appropriation’?[/quote]
Agree. Maybe a better question is “do you think it’s weird when white people wear ethnic clothes, assuming they have family ties?” Or more generally: “do you think it’s weird when you see white people in ethnic clothes?” [/quote]

Please stop using “ethnic” in a way that means “non white”. I am white, but a specific minority ethnicity in my home country and we too have traditional  clothes. [/quote]
