I teach in an inner-city middle school and Hello Kitty is VERY popular this year. I can totally see the Afro Kitty taking off with my kids. She looks really cute.

Whoa! Hello Kitty in an afro. I'd never thought I'd see that. It's just odd. Not weird,just odd.

This is disgusting. Haven't these old white men ever heard of cultural appropriation?? I for one will be referring Hello Kitty to the NAACP.

The Japanese don't usually come to mind when I think of old white men. And this is hardly the most offensive thing I've seen come out of Japan.

If they are in positions of power, then by definition they must be white men. That's how the system works!

So by this logic...

Hirohito = White

Genghis Khan = White

Gandhi = White

Mandela = White

Idi Amin = White

Castro = White

Cleopatra = White Man

...
...
...

Laughing That's not the point you were trying to make earlier. And I see you have no issues with Mandela being white or Cleopatra being a man.
