Title: Don't Celebrate Lunar New Year!
Post by: Ben on February 07, 2019, 01:32:21 PM

It's cultural appropriation!

Why is it not cultural appropriation to celebrate St Paddy's Day or Oktoberfest?

Speaking for the krauts, we encourage and enjoy having everyone celebrate Oktoberfest and pretty much every other kraut related thing. Even wear lederhosen if you want, and we especially encourage hot busty women to dress in the traditional beer serving garb.  I'm pretty sure the Paddys feel the same.

Dear Kassy,

Apparently you identify with a culture that is not native English speaking.

I however am of English heritage, so please stop appropriating my cultural language and go back to speaking and writing in whatever language is native to your cultural identity.

Oh and *expletive deleted*ck off you stupid bitch.

It all depends on whose lunar new year you're talking about:
