The traditional Chinese dress worn by a Utah high school student to prom revved up the internet cultural appropriation machine, but we think you should decide whether or not her decision was appropriate.
Many have described her actions as “cultural appropriation”, rather than an homage to the beauty of other cultures. The high schooler has said her decision to wear the dress came from a place of appreciation, rather than the insidious place that some have flatly stated motivated her.
Twitter users have had their say on the issue of the prom dress, some condemning and others praising. She handled the commentary by emphasizing the divide between her supporters and haters. We want to know what you think: is this a totally acceptable beautiful prom dress, or a case of “heinous cultural appropriation?”
