[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]

Well, no. As someone from a different culture, I would not consider the answer to OP's question to be "totally fine."[/quote]

You would be offended if your same culture friend's spouse wore your culture's attire to a cultural event?[/quote]

I wouldn't storm out, but I would find it forced and costume-like. That doesn't mean it's immoral. It just means that people of the same non-white culture can have different feelings about white people wearing traditional clothing. To assert that it's "totally fine" is just wrong.[/quote]
