20+ Of The Best 'My Culture Is NOT Your Prom Dress' Memes

In case you haven't been on Twitter recently, there was a bit of a hullabaloo when a white high school student decided to rock a traditional Chinese, high-collared dress to her school prom.

She thought she looked great so she figured she'd flex on social media, as people are wont to do. Some agreed with her and "YASSS-ed" her into oblivion, praising her prom look.

Others were pissed off and thought that she was guilty of cultural appropriation. Particularly Twitter user Jeremy Lam who provided a great history lesson on the significance of the Qipao that the Twitter user was so proud of wearing to her prom.

Some people thought that Lam and other people's anger towards the teen for wearing the dress was gratuitous. Chinese citizens actually living in China were confused about the outrage, like Wu Nao Liu, who wrote the following on Weibo, a social media platform popular in the country.

"I feel proud that some people are wearing clothes from our culture. Isn't it a good thing that more people get to know more about the qipao?"

Once the story blew up, the people angry at Keziah caused a lot of eye-rolls and became the butt of some people's jokes. Lam's tweet even inspired a bunch of memes that are absolutely hilarious, something you'd have to admit even if you agree with him.
