Why I hate the Czech Easter tradition (warning, disgusting)

[Igel]

5. Oooh ... I remember that all Czechs wore this garb daily.

I really stood out, t-shirt/jeans, during my 5 weeks "v Praze".

Next video ...

Indian-American students showing how daily they show up in "ethnic" clothing daily ...

Irish-American male students show up to battle for high grades wearing a torc ... And nothing more, except sandals ... Imagine the Pogues ... In ... Um ... Just ... um ... a [link:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torc#/media/File:Torque_%C3%A0_tampons_Somme-Suippe_Mus%C3%A9e_Saint-Remi_120208.jpg].

Oh, and to preserve modesty, the torc was worn around the man's neck.


Look, the influencer in question wants profit. That means outrage. I only saw this garb during my months in Brno/Prague during "ethnic identity" kinds of things. Hint--this isn't daily garb. (For those with 504s, or EBs with ling accommodations, garb = "A distinctive style or form of clothing; dress".)

I mean, I watched a movie centered on a traditional zabijacka. Pig killing. One day. Kill pig. End of day? Skin set to "cure", workers paid in pork, intestines ready to be stuffed, sausages set to cure/be smoked, other parts boiling. Hog --> food, less than 12 hours.

In another, a kid, maybe 7, 8, took some copper to buy a pitcher of beer. That's tradition. When I was there, many months, pre-EU accession, there was no "legal drinking age." That, BTW. was "indigenous knowledge."

Yet neither are true of the typical office-worker Praguer in 2025.

An influencer finds it profitable to "Other" her indigenous culture for profit? You don't need to invest in her trust fund.

Yes, this probably happens in backwaters. Or as an example of "put on" ethnicity. Actual abuse? Um ... Call the cops --- or not---the choice is the girl's/young woman's.
