what do you think and how would you feel?

Question

I'm one of those people that doesn't see color or race as an issue in a relationship, or in any circumstance really. My fiance is Korean and we just had a baby girl, and I've always like komonos and asian dresses and things like that, but you don't see too many white people or black people dress in asian clothing. Do you think asians would get offended? Do you think I would be called 'fake' or 'poser'??

All advice welcomed....if you are racist or have a racist comment just keep your mouth shut.

Answer 1

Hell no, don't be stupid. Did you see after the Super Bowl when Hines Ward went to Korea with his Korean mother? They welcomed him as one of their own. It was very touching after hearing all the hard times he went through growing up in Korea as a half-black half-korean boy, and a product of the war. I think asian people are very understanding and would welcome you and your baby girl into their culture.

Answer 2

Thank you for being so open to my opinion. I am the same way with race, and i know alot about other races and cultures i think. well, i like to no about it. The asian culture might take that offensevly just because they believe in tradition very strongly. Maybe they havent been introduced to that style yet. I would suggest it if i were u, but they cud want to dress through their culture's tradition. As for the white and black race, they tend to be less offended by a new cultural style, especially the white race. so the chances of them accepting that wud seem good to me.

Answer 3

No way would an Asian get offended by anything like that. If I saw your baby dressed in kimonos/Asian dresses, I'd think it was cute and pretty cool that you were into that stuff.

By the way, Koreans don't dress in kimonos. They have their own traditional dresses and suits. The dresses are really colorful; they're called "hanbok." Click here (http://www.joechip.net/liana/archives/world-korea-hanbok-greenred-small-tabbed.gif ) to see a picture of a traditional hanbok.

Hope I helped!

It's understandable to feel uncomfortable dressing in a fashion outside your background because you may feel that other people don't think you are supporting asians, that you are offending them. I don' t think you would be made fun of or be called poser. if you want to wear them, try wearing them with a different style, if lets just say your indian, wear a kimono with an indian twist, a little indian cloth. but this is just an idea. you dont have to. don't worry what others think, if you wear kimonos you arent offending them. but if you wear kimonos in an innapropiate fashion, that is offending. but try to mix it up! thats the great thing about families with different backgrounds, so much color and style and different varieties of things mixed together! :)

Answer 5

I would hope that people would see your outfit as just a personal sense of style, I mean there's just so many different styles out there these days, like some slogan tees that are offensive and blatant about it, I doubt anyone with sense would criticize. I also happen to like asian inspired things, decor as well as fashions. I think as long as you are comfortable with your choices, you should wear them proudly

Answer 6

I think people should mind their own business. Wear what you like and try not to worry about what others will think. Even though I don't know you, I'm sure you would look beautiful in Asian clothing.

Answer 7

Racism is a sick thing in this world. It has affected my life in bad ways several times. I do not judge by race, but by the actions of an individual. I think people, if they don't agree with whom you love, should just keep it to themselves. It is no one elses business whom you love, or if you like other cultures. It is a beautiful thing to experience different peoples! Who cares what others think? You have to live with yourself, not them.

Answer 8

Answer 9

dress her how ever you want. she is your child, and no one else can tell you how to raise her. i myself own quite afew asian dresses. i love how they look and im sure she will look beautiful in the ones you get for her.

Answer 10

if your talking traditional clothing then it might just be cause it's not practical. i think if u feel ok with a clothing choice then u just feel comfy. period! if somebody gets offended i'd ignore them! enjoy!!
