Can Foreigners Wear Kimono? What Japanese think of Cultural Appropriation

[Laha]

11. I've had arguments like this

Some white dudes were trying to say it was inappropriate, cultural appropriation for white people to have a totem. I had some fun(I was a bit rude) pointing out that people with totems as part of their culture don't think like that. Interestingly enough, one of them was someone from Russia who forgot to take off their geotag. Didn't get much of a response when I asked who the hell are you to tell us what to think of how our culture is shared.
