And you'll be able to Animal Crossing Items expand that statement to include things like jewelry and clothes. No, it wouldn't make you a racist. Again, assuming it does not have particular importance such as ceremonial clothes. But if you are wearing something predominantly worn by another civilization, and that clothing is often looked down upon, and a person from that culture says"Why can they get to wear it without facing discrimination, but that I get called trashy/unprofessional looking/etc?" The correct response is not to play the victim and say"What, I am racist because I like how it looks?" The right response is"you are right, that is not fair. People should be allowed to wear what they want with no the others policing them. Respect my right to put on it and I will happily respect your right to wear it, and hopefully we will reach a point where no one has to"respect the right," you can just wear what you need without problem."
My point is that they (usually) aren't calling you racist because wearing clothes is racist, or because they're only mean people. It's because of a frustration of double standards. Should you grow up having to defend your culture, trying to tell people it's not ghetto or trashy or so on, and then 1 day you turn around and see someone else taking aspects of your culture because it seems fine, and no one gives them any shit for it, you could have two responses: be glad that some folks have started to accept it more, or be mad that people get to appreciate it without confronting the identical discrimination you did. Jealousy and envy aren't great, but they are understandable. And so the dialogue ought to be to attempt to change them back to being pleased that the culture has been more prevalent accepted.
In your initial post you talked about defending the identity based on years of experiencing oppression, which is totally legit. But that is how the event that led to the happened.
It is similar to that movie in which that girl attacks a guy with dreadlocks while saying"stop appropriating my civilization" over and over again. People made the same remarks like you did, but the truth is, she didn't give him a long speech about how she understands that dreadlocks are shared across the world, but she's still buy Animal Crossing Bells sensitive about it seeing white folks with locks, because for a very long time black people are told they're filthy and do not look like real people unless they straighten their hair.
