A young woman who posted photos of her and her friends going to prom is under fire after SJW Twitter objected to her Chinese dress:

You see, the young woman in the photos isn’t Chinese so it’s a big problem:
In summary, “The whites are at it again”!

The outrage went viral thanks in large part to this tweet with over 150,000 likes:
My culture is NOT your goddamn prom dress. https://t.co/vhkNOPevKD

Which then led to other folks cruising the dress policeman’s timeline to find … wait for it … cultural appropriation of his very own:

Whoops. Lam has since apologized:
Yes, I used to be more ignorant than I am now. My youth was not perfect, it was problematic, I was problematic and didn’t know better. I sincerely apologize to all the people it possibly affected, but my past does not define me.

But WTF is wrong with people, anyway? She’s a high school student and it’s a dress:
Holy crap, the replies to this tweet are filled with non-Chinese people being offended that this girl wore a cheongsam ??♀️
It’s a piece of clothing.
She looks awesome.
Get over it. https://t.co/oMie2edhMy— Lauren Chen (@RoamingMil) April 29, 2018
It's not your culture. You don't have title to it. You don't have a say in what we do. If I feel like "appropriating your culture" I'll do it and you'll sit there and stew. Buzz off and go try to get attention by actually accomplishing something @jere_bare.

And, thankfully, people are now coming to her defense:

Boy, you read this thread & think “no way are people this petty and small minded”, then you realize it’s twitter where everyone is the thought, dress, speak police for moral outrage.
You looked great in your dress @daumkeziah hope you had a blast at prom!! https://t.co/wYlQto1N5D

ICYMI, this is the student getting flack for "cultural appropriation". Some Chinese SJW *GUY* (yes, a guy, FFS) was SEETHING WITH RAGE over the cultural appropriation. https://t.co/0AyGRBxw9E
