Only educated people knows what this outfit means in western culture contexts. Fumanchou(? Excuse me if it spelt wrong) was a horrible image of Chinese Americans which been regarded means and evil. The old lady was too kind and has too little background of it.
Just a shame those kinds get more air play than folk like him that are correct. The Italians I went to school loved to teach us how to swear in Italian, but you have to say it more like a Wog they'd say
@@KarlRLamberg but stupid how. it has a point culture is meant to be shared. The moment it stops is the moment everyone gets divided but hey that’s what they want.
And another sh*t part is when they deny my culture because in my culture it doesn’t matter if your as white as a cloud as long as u have any Maori blood ur Maori but people from overseas think they can just deny my people
Now that seems like insensitivity. Their defending a group that doesn't want to be defended. It's like taht one guy who objects at a marriage just because it's an option
So what matters is intent, for example just wearing traditional Chinese clothes is not offensive, but wearing Chinese clothes and doing a fake Chinese accent for Halloween probably is.
The fact is that when people see other people wear something of their culture they don't get mad cuz of cultural appropriation but rather they get very happy of seeing other people spread and accept their culture.
The problem is he’s wearing the outfits to provoke a reaction , mic in his hand randomly wearing an outfit. Sucks tho white culture doesent exist so he has to wear other cultures attire.
But when someone that is not of that culture sees it, they get offended and triggered, then try to cancel because its "racist and wrong", not saying that that is everyone but most of the world, mainly in the united states are like this and it's so stupid. In my opinion you don't necessarily have the right to get offended or say its wrong if you are not of that culture.
I’m not Chinese, when they needed help with a dragon in the San Francisco Chinese new year, the Chinese people were happy to have me there to help carry my section of the dragon, which was the head! Others didn’t want to carry it because it was so heavy. Amazing acrobatics from the Chinese young men. As for a cultural appropriation, left-wing jerks, get a life!
@Natsoc kaiser dude this isn't a discussion on how society should run or what you think works and doesn't if you think your ideals are so great then why are you not in a position of power to make the change you think is so great so I say this In the most unkind way stfu and go back to your blog with that crap
@NatSoc Kaiser Hmmm. May I remind you that Germany fell after its leader had unified all its people that had been separated by external wars and internecine feuds. The fact about the beginning of the Roman failure was not so much the incursion of the Huns, but internal corruption. To pun Leni Riefenstahl, it was the failure "of the Will" of its people to overthrow the corruption. As for the incursions, the Democratic Party (aka communists by what they do) is following the same formula which led to the Roman destruction: shipping large numbers of these unassimilated alien people all around the country, of whom do not speak the native tongue (English/Latin), have no money, and show little interest in assimilating as well, not only bringing their diseases but also a foreign culture which had already FAILED their homogeneous group to begin with. You should read about the uprisings that occurred under the last Roman "kaiser." And I am not fooled by your tag, "NatSoc", as that is for national socialist. Or, by another name, NAZI. It's through a nation's will to survive, to direct funding for assimilation of new peoples that gives a nation its best chance at survival. It is a guarantee of failure, if all this neo-Marxist Woke crap being peddled by American academia that will make an entire generation of useful idiots, but guarantee a generation of disenfranchised, broken perpetual revolutionaries. All this Hegelian-Marxist Critical Theory gobbledigook is what creates agitated divisions by race, or sexual proclivity. The "dirty Marxist" formula of "class struggle" between the proletariat and bourgeoise FAILED. Miserably. Some pretty nasty tools were learned along the way: Mao's "re-education camps" and Cultural Revolutions, Stalin's Gulags, Iron Curtains among others kept people in check for a while. But in the end, even the survivors of the brainwashing say that none of it worked. And the same goes for the tactics of Paulo Frieré, Herbert Mercuse, and Jeroux and others who peddle this Critical theory crap. But, back to you....national socialism doesn't work: fails due to a lack of accountability. And Kaiser Bill was a miserable, arrogant idiot who singlehandedly wrecked Germany. Despite him, the German peoples, from Catholic Bavaria to the northern Lutherans are a smart, industrious and proud people, and can thrive, together, if left alone. Just ship the Muslims back to Turkey and start making babies again!
And I as a Nigerian, I love to see people wearing our cultural clothes, eating our food, speaking our language or even just appreciating our traditions in general. Cultural appropriation doesn’t exist outside outright mocking and disrespecting someone’s culture.
i love when they speak our language there is like 50+ languages i also like when they try our foods but when they wear our clothes it’s just a no depending on the context a wedding sure tradional party sure out in the open doing nothing no.
An Indian friend of mine invited me to a wedding and dressed me up in a sari. I travelled home still wearing it and people spoke to me, asking why I was wearing it, was I married to an Indian, had I converted to Hinduism etc, we talked and laughed together but the best moment was when an elderly Indian couple gave me the biggest smile and clapped as I walked towards my train. I beamed back at them. It was such a happy moment.
@@ordinaryretrogamer6944 yes, London. I was travelling back to the Midlands. Did get a few funny looks when I got off the train home, I think they expected me to be going to Leeds not a little market town.
@@dawnw9180Yes, because people from the actual cultures appreciate it when others like something from their cultures! This "cultural appropriation", along with "micro-aggressions", is some of the biggest sjw BS that I've seen!
People like the professor tell them you hate them. Then, with their own eyes, they see you love them. Its got to be a good feeling. You get to see they love you too. Its a beautiful moment. Sharing culture brings us together.
@@davespringer777 I think it's about being respectful e.g. if I was talking with a fake Indian accent and mocking it's different to me sharing their style of dress. I loved wearing the sari and it really opened people up to talk to me too. The Indian couple were so sweet, I wanted to give them a hug but I'm too British 😂. I did put my hands together and do a slight bow, grinning back at them.
I’m Mexican and I love seeing other races wearing our sombreros and guaraches 🤣, funny how the culture they are embracing are never the ones offended 💀
The origin of braids can be traced back 5000 years in African culture to 3500 BC-they were very popular among women. Braids are not just a style; this craft is a form of art. Braiding started in Africa with the Himba people of Namibia. These people have been braiding their hair for centuries long before Nordic, Greeks, or Romans. Egyptian sculptures have even been found with these hairstyles. So, don’t use braids as your “Aha Moment”….. His mistake was saying that he made the videos to “prove” a point, instead of trying to do unbiased research and simply gather information. I don’t care one way or the other if anyone wears braids, but learn the facts and stop operating through blatant McCarthyism’s
that has such a different context to this video youre going to a wedding where another culture is being added and its respectful ofc they would love it youre showing love
i dont see how it can be offensive to wear a culture as a costume, especially for halloween. you only get to do that once a year and it should be great that they out of all the things they could have dressed up as they chose your culture
At my friend's wedding, one of the bride's friend was Black but she wore a tradition Saree to an Indian Wedding. I actually felt happy, and alot of my elders agree. They love her.
Well said. I wish everyone thought the same today. I think people actually are naturally interested in different cultures. Some people do find that they actually like a different culture-a different way of life-better than what they’ve done. If they choose to change and live differently I don’t see why that’s an issue. For example, trying different hair styles, eating different food. Clothing I actually think we kind of do that already. If you go anywhere in the world you’ll find jeans, t-shirts, etc. and various styles of that. I personally love wrap style dresses, they look good on me-and I believe that’s actually a Japanese influenced style. Basically modern clothes ARE a mix of styles. And honestly I am personally tired of jeans and t-shirts. Clothing in the past whether western or eastern were much more beautiful in many ways. The intricate embroidery, long dresses or robes (for men), etc. Even just hats-which aren’t worn at all in the west at least. I wouldn’t mind if we all decided to upgrade our clothing to something nicer. The outfit he’s wearing for example is very nice. But I guess that’s a pipe dream. Modern clothing is all simplicity.
@@pewdavid3338 our culture are very similar (we can even understand each other like wth are you on about), idc who got it first but it's been generations after generations, so stop being this childish Nothing is original and will never be, we are proud to share the same culture and you should too
I guess they’re forgetting about the movie white chicks where the Wayne’s brothers dressed as white blondes to make millions. Hilarious movie. Was that cultural appropriation or wearing white face? Enough of this nonsense.
@@sunnuke274 : It’s like taking candy from a baby with Hypocritical Leftists because their logic is 90% based in pure nonsense and the hypocrisy oozes from their irrational arguments. Here’s another example 👉 The Vegan Element of mostly Leftist Culture will lecture carnivores on eating other living creatures while walking around with shoes glued together with animal byproducts, tires for their bike or car made of animals, and make up made from animals or tested on animals.
My husband bought me a couple of Punjabi outfits while he was in India. I used to wear them to church. One day I had just arrived home and there were several ladies that had just moved in down the street from me, that were from India, taking a walk. They saw me in the outfit and made a beeline for me and were so excited that I was wearing it. I had taken the scarf off while I was driving they grabbed it and wrapped it around me and complemented me. It was so fun seeing how happy they were to see me in it!!
I’m Indian, we do like it, and it’s a sign of respect for our culture when you do so. On a related note, I had a white (woke) friend who was so reluctant (for fear of cultural appropriation) to wear an Indian suit I got him for an Indian party/event I invited him to that it could easily be taken in the wrong way, and cause offence… ironic that his hypersensitivity to being respectful made him come across just the opposite.
"Don't wear Chinese clothes, it's cultural appropriation! It's insensitive! " ......"Don't you eat Chinese food? Isn't that cultural appropriation? " Got ya!
It’s not about wearing Chinese clothes. That’s not cultural appropriation. It’s only cultural appropriation if you do it in a stereotypical way. Like if you wear a Native American war bonnet with spiritual and cultural significance in a “sexy Indian” costume.
@@mickybro2363 That is nothing like what I said. Actually having sex with someone of a certain nationality has nothing to do with the fetishization of their culture. An Indian war bonnet is a spiritual symbol and using it in a “sexy Indian” costume is extremely disrespectful. If you are using cultural symbols accurately and respectfully, it is not appropriation. Let’s give an example: Say a popular white film director chooses to make a movie about ancient china. They hire a team of experts, including Chinese people, to ensure their show is accurate to Chinese culture. This is not appropriation, because the show would not misrepresent Chinese culture. On the other hand, say that same film director hired an all white cast and no consultants. He just took a guess at what he thinks Chinese culture looks like and the setting becomes a caricature of Chinese culture. This is disrespectful to actual Chinese people. Look at Disney’s live action Mulan remake, which is a clear example of this in action.
Yeah but he's not wearing this because he appreciates the culture He's wearing it to prove some stupid point. The Mexicans and Chinese people that he's going up to think they're celebrating their culture when in reality he's wearing it to try and prove a dumbass point.
As someone who is Chinese I respect this man ! I love how people are willing to learn my culture or speak my language , because there’s nothing wrong with that at all
I had never heard about "cultural appropriation" before I came to the US. Most USAians are offended by anything or everything. It's also interesting how everyone is labeled or grouped.. I was used to the "everyone is the same" ideology that I've been exposed to my whole life.
The rice farming hats. Is that exclusively vietnam or is it worn by all rice farmers, and is the hat considered a cultural thing? I know the kimono technically is, but i wanna know about the hat
Yupp! I love when people try things from my culture! Whether they like it at the end or not. But it's a completely different case if they start making fun of it
Honestly idk how sincere he was bc one clip with the old lady you can see he put on a fake beard... but you right intentions are key and everyone in the comments seem to love him...
It's absolutely true, I remember when I visited my mexican girlfriend's sister, and we were about to leave, both of them came out dressed in traditional Indian clothes, and it made me so damn happy. Whether it's wearing traditional clothes of another country while you're in that country, or wearing a traditional clothing well, as long as they're doing it well, that's cultural appreciation. Edit : I'm Indian and lived there until the age of 23, after which I moved to Canada to study, being in a place so far away from home, and seeing people people try out traditional clothes and appreciating them and their familiarity is to me, a really positive thing. And I appreciate it
@@taf8903 Well yeah of course otherwise it wouldn't be cultural appreciation which breaks the meaning of the whole statement. The whole dogwhistle thing leftists keep saying is bullshit because if an actual racist is trying to mock someone they aren't going to call it cultural appreciation.
I'm native American but nobody knows that about me because I'm also African American and people just assume I have a white parent. So I was at school and this girl saw some native American stupid western and somehow got the idea to name herself River. She wanted everyone to call her that instead of her government name. I straight up told her no, I didn't tell her I was native though because I wanted to see how it developed because I rarely get offended on behalf of my native lineage. The next day she came into class with mint Bob Ross pocky and gave it to everyone except me. When she walked up to me I reached out to get one and she pulled it away, looked me dead in my eyes and asked me what her name was. I've never had such a good laugh since then🤣. It was art class so I didn't have to be quiet about it and literally just laughed at her for the rest of the hour, she never talked to me again but it was worth it🤣🤣🤣.
There are many wise people in this world. It’s kind of a shame to see a culture die out. I commend him for spreading awareness even if it’s through stereotypes
@@Brakdayton Definitely, But I'm saying that even in the most egregious case according to them like Language, Clothing, Practices e.t.c. We find that heart warming
But There’s a difference in being culturally appropriate and doing what the dude is doing. He’s trying so hard for a reaction and he’s not really appreciating the culture. He’s using it as a joke and I can see why people would get offended.
us Asians and our ancestors love it when our culture is shared but recently, I've seen some Asians on tiktok and youtube getting mad and offended over people wearing Korean style makeup and mehndi. It seems like social media is sharing a negative mindset over the easily influenced people
@@ogi6694because theyre politically groomed. Theyre told that a behavior is wrong or racist or bad and they just take it without ever asking questions. So because they were told dressing up as an asian is wrong, seeing a guy peacefully dressed differently doing nothing wrong was “insensitive”.
As a Chinese I find this video ABSOLUTLEY great. When I invite my freinds over for Chinese new year and to hang out we all grow together even if they don't understand my traditions. What's important is that we all grow together as one and stop putting the walls up
I bet they dig it. I’m not Chinese at all. Don’t have one single Chinese person in my immediate or extended family. But I celebrate Chinese new year cause I love the food. Today my husband told me this was the year of the rabbit and I was flabbergasted that he knew. It’s fun celebrating other people’s cultures. And the food and music are always best part
Yeah on the other hand friends should also understand and respect different cultures, like not offering a muslim pork for example. The way I see it is the one extreme wants to deem everything as too insensitive for another culture and the other extrem just wants to straight up call somebody a slur and expects them to take it as a compliment.
He said what everyone thinks but spoke in a polite way lol. It's simple as that if you really have nothing better to do then get offended for others who don't have a problem it's just sad. Making issues to give themselves something to do like oh look how good a person I am protecting such and such.
When you take a culture exploit it for yourself to make billions, and are not paying homage to the ones who created it, you cannot take it. It’s like the Chinese and Korean people who CONSISTENTLY take or steal from the American Black culture in their music and YET, they are some of the most racist people towards black people!?🤦🏾♂️it’s ironic. So you cant blame one for saying ‘Id rather you not take from my culture.’ But from a simplistic point of view yes like this guy, ideally we should be able to share, but when some races try to take advantage, you cannot blame some people for not wanting to share. Especially when you have no culture yourself for me to take that is of interest to me.
What happened to these bad comments? Is he being a racist? No. As a ASIAN, I don't get offended by his doing. I just believe that SJWs are making the world so uncomfortable.😢
@@heatedrindo why are you assuming they appreciate it💀 maybe their grandpa died in the war and they wanted to bring awareness??? ppl are so dumb these days istg
This is prager u and they are racist specifically they're far right christian nationalists. Ultimately some people if every race will care and others wont ultimately context matters as well. Simply wearing traditional chinese clothing if you like it I dont think anybody has a problem with. Doing so in a way that's meant to be mocking some may consider offensive. Ultimately the point of this video is to act like the whole left are unreasonable and are simply offended on the behalf of people who dont care. Rather than because their entire purpose is to spread bigoted propaganda and radicalise people

Then all the girls start being mad at me for making him cry. The problem with those girls was that they did not know how to read an analog clock.
@@yumgum5644 i don’t think it is personally, I am Asian and when I see people wear our garments and our clothing or even shoes (though its rare for shoes), I don’t feel it is being appropriated or racist, I see it as a form of someone who is honouring our culture and someone who appreciates it. And yes there is boundaries but this guy had good intentions since a Chinese lady even said it was pretty
Like with me. I’m disabled, and people can make jokes about it just like I can about myself. I don’t care and they’re usually funny. Uncontrollable muscle movements I’ve deemed discount Tourette’s, Autism, and a slew of immune issues. It just makes it fun to laugh it off
@@BigRheno my friend has sma and constantly makes jokes about it as well and whenever we’re in our group in public and someone says something to him like “shut up, and go for a run” and other people look on in disbelief we all just burst out laughing because they don’t understand the dynamic 😂
That is the "actual" offensive behavior, not what the guy wears. Who tf are they to get offended in my stead? LOL. This "overcorrection" gone waaaaaay too far.
it really bothers me when people who aren't part of a specific culture call throw around the term "cultural appropriation" when they know jack shit about said culture. how the hell you gonna tell someone what's right and wrong when you don't know to begin with?
I think the problem is when people start abusing it and lying about the background. I remember a german singer stole a song of one of the most famous persian singers and didnt even credit him. If he would have done crediting him, he would have prevented a lot of shitstorm and gained millions of persian fans. Instead people got mad.

As a Mexican, I love seeing EVERY type of person dress in day of the dead clothing, do the makeup, make the foods. It's awesome. I don't understand why people think it's appropriation?? It's appreciation!

People came in custome and stuff and there was this group of 3 russians and 4 chinese that came there every year in absolutely fire self tailored central european medieval clothes.

As a hispanic, you will always have that one person in your family that fits every stereotype and that one member that’s white and does not look hispanic. We don’t care about stereotypes because they can be true, we take pride in our culture and are happy when others take part in it too.
Stereotypes can be true, sure but the problem is white people make up 1 bad stereotypes for themselves for every 100 bad stereotypes of others (non-whites), example is they white people give themselves this stereotype of German being hard workin, Canadians being kind, French being the capital of love, Italians being good cooks and then they proceed to say the most heinous things to other races, you know how it go with blacks, indians, asians.
Same here. I’m Latina and I don’t mind people wearing our cultural clothing g as long as it’s respectful and they try to learn what it means. I love to see them try it on!

They are racist. Call them out as that. Beating around the Bush on it is half the issue. They looked at his skin and assumed he isn't Chinese. He could have been born and raised there.

We've done the same thing to other countries. I've heard that in Brazil people eat Pandoro and panettone, which are common Italian Christmas desserts. And I learned that just now! Sharing cultures is fun, why gatekeeping them?
"i myself is an asian, and i often see traveler try our traditional clothes, even when u are not in our country and wear our clothes, it brings joy to us by being able to share our cultural tradition, my mom is chinese and she likes seeing imiggrants using our traditional clothes, just the fact that we are acknowledged makes my mom excited, Thank you, Will Witt."
As a foreigner, I feel appreciated when other people are participating in my culture. It shows that people are open to accepting my group and widen out our culture for more people to see it is nothing bad.
It's just that it should be like that, friend, there doesn't have to be any way of saying that you appropriate their culture by using something that identifies them. As a Salvadoran, I like someone to use something that is from my country, since that way you don't feel alone outside your country and you feel accepted by others. Hopefully the others understand that if the group to which it is targeted is not offended by what is done, why should the others be offended?

Start making some RU-vid shorts and videos to let us know about it my brother, there are so many Philippine Americans here in the U.S, just start a podcast even to let everyone know about your culture and all aspects of it and it will blow up and you will be the first person doing it, and then next thing you know you can quit your job because you'll be making so much money as a content creator because all your people will be behind you, interview people in all jobs, trades, businesses etc etc. Talk about the struggles and the positivity, and go with GOD my friend, do not delay this is your chance. Nothing out there like it!!!!!!
Nothing would excite me more as a Filipino than to see a non-filipino person wear a Barong Tagalog to a formal occasion. It doesn't even have to be a Filipino Occasion. You can just wear it everywhere u want and that would be heavily appreciated by a lot of us. Can't say the same for the other woke people tho
As a Chinese, I’m honestly fine with people walking around the streets looking like this because as long as they’re not mocking/making fun of it, then it’s alright.
Exactly, anyone can enjoy foreign culture and try some cultural clothes or cook cultural food, the world has so many cultures, so why would we waste the opportunity to discover them and enjoy some of their cultural traits ? I know a black man who's the owner of a Japanese restaurant and he received so much hate because he wasn't japanese, but his recipes were correct and he has strong knowledge of japanese cuisine so the hate is meaningless 💀
Yeah that's how most normal people think. Only in America will you be called a racist for enjoying other cultures because people think they should be gate kept for some reason. It's not like America is made up of like every culture around the world or anything. Major shocker
@@spaghettisauce1104 the thing is there’s many people who imitate in a mocking way. You can’t honestly suggest that everyone in America is respectful lmao
@@suckmygooglies99 from what I've seen people mostly judge way before even knowing what the intent is. I remember people online bullying some highschool girl because she was wearing a Chinese dress to prom or something like that. It wasn't even disrespectful but people where still jumping on her. I think it's bad if people are trying to mock a culture but ultimately it doesn't matter because they still have a right to dress and act how they want. It always seems like the people who are upset are white people too. Not even the people who are getting "mocked". Another weird example of people throwing around cultural appropriation is a video game came out called ghost of Tsushima which is based off a samurai on an island called Tsushima. Alot of Americans where upset saying it's cultural appropriation for whatever reason but the people who currently live on Tsushima Island really enjoyed the game and made the creators of the games ambassadors. I completely get what you're saying but cultural appropriation is basically a hollow word that gets thrown around now from over use.
as another Chinese person, I *did* find it kind of offensive, mostly because it is used in a negative way, but then you could just easily label it as "appreciating your culture", but that's probably because I've never experienced something positive from being Chinese.

That's true. As an Asian, I am really happy when I see someone who is of different race wearing our traditional clothing. We take pride in it. It means that you respect our culture enough to wear what we wear
There are clothes in multiple asian cultures that I would love to wear any day, they are super cool and look so comfy a lot of the time but I always get shy and get scared I might offend someone because I was only made aware of cultural appropriation within the last few years so I never really understood what counted as appropriation vs appreciation, I got some hairpins as a gift and haven’t touched them because of it
I'm getting old. And it comforts me to see something of my ancestors culture that I grew up with. Especially now that it's not around anymore and is a box inside of me full of memories that I love.
We, Filipinos, are so happy and proud when we see foreigners eat our food or wear our traditional Filipinianas. We want our culture shared to others not keep it only to ourselves. How can we appreciate and understand one another when we don't put ourselves in someone else's shoes?
My family (USA) are originally from the Phillipines, just bred with a bunch of whites. My great grandad Armando is still kickin, but he didn't teach us Tagalog. I tell you what though, my Dad used to make a fantastic chicken adobo. I just made myself some and sinangag the other day.
on Halloween, i'm a Filipina living in the US. I once saw a little girl that dressed as our traditional clothing and she held a little philippine flag. i loved her because the first thing i thought of is that 'wow, she knows about our culture and she embraces it' i took a pic with her btw
That was so cute of her! I'm Spanish,and once I saw a non spanish girl wearing a typical dress from my country,it was really cute! People need to know the difference between cultural appropiation and cultural appreciation
My buddy dressed up as a Korean grandma at Halloween in Korea. When he pitched the idea online he was told it was racist. But he asked a Korean Co worker and they said it might be stupid but not offensive. So he went for it. When I tell you around 200 Korean people that night wanted photos with him when out partying I am not exaggerating. He couldn’t get from one bar to the next. He had the time of his life.
OMG LOL you need to travel more 🤣 He was getting 'crazy celebrity' type attention, NOT 'omg, so creative...so cool" attention. Let me tell you another story. I was in the Peace Corps for 4 years in Peru. Zero times did I have locals want a picture with me. But everytime I went hiking with another peace corps volunteer that was black...ALL the locals wanted selfies with her. And according to her, this happened ALL THE TIME. Many would not even ask, just approach her and take the selfie. Were they doing it because they thought she was celebrating their culture? Were they doing it because they wanted to know more about her? No and no. They wanted a picture of something 'new', 'crazy', far out of the norm, to share with their friends, family and people on social media. Same thing happened with your friend in Korea.
@@avilesnba I disagree. I know what you mean by your friend’s anecdote but I can guarantee it was more of whoa it’s cool to see a non-Korean to dress up as Korean grandma. It’s like a really good inside joke for people who understand what you’re dressed up as. I’d love to talk to that friend and ask him why he decided to dress up as Halmoni. Plus there are so many foreigners in Korea - Koreans already passed the curious “can I touch your skin/hair” phase a long time ago.
Wait until white people makes korean food and they said its authentic but eliminating most of the ingredients and technics your ancestor used to use.. lol
and as a Filipino, if I saw someone wearing a Filipiniana/Maria Clara or any other Filipino traditional clothes, I'd also be really fascinated and happy that someone is appreciating our culture hehe
