And you'll be Animal Crossing Bells able to expand this statement to add things like jewelry and clothes. No, it would not make you a racist. Again, supposing it doesn't have specific importance like ceremonial clothing. But if you're wearing something predominantly worn by another culture, and that clothes is often looked down upon, and someone from that culture says"Why can they get to put on it without confronting discrimination, but that I get called trashy/unprofessional looking/etc?" The correct answer isn't to play with the victim and say"What, I am racist because I like the way it seems?" The right response is"you're right, that isn't fair. Individuals ought to be permitted to wear what they desire without others policing them. Respect my best to put on it and I will happily respect your right to wear this, and hopefully we'll reach a stage where nobody needs to"respect the right," you can just wear what you need without problem."

My purpose is that they (usually) aren't calling you racist because wearing clothing is racist, or because they're just mean people. It's due to a frustration of dual standards. If you grow up needing to defend your civilization, trying to tell people it is not ghetto or trashy or so on, and then 1 day you turn around and see someone else taking aspects of your culture because it seems nice, and no one gives them some shit for this, you could have two answers: be thankful that some folks are starting to accept it longer, or be mad that people get to appreciate it without facing the identical discrimination you did. Jealousy and envy aren't great, but they're understandable. And so the dialogue ought to be to attempt to change them back over to being happy that the civilization is being more widespread accepted. But if instead you buckle down, and attempt to argue against them and get all defensive, all that's gonna happen is people are going to fall further into an"us vs them" mindset.

In your buy Animal Crossing New Horizons Bells original post you spoke about defending the identity based on years of experiencing oppression, which is completely legit. But that's how the event that contributed to the occurred.
