    Jeremy Lam is getting destroyed on social media, not just here but in China too. The Chinese think he is an idiot.

          I'm outraged that his parents would appropriate Anglo-Saxon culture and name him Jeremy.

            Lots of people on twitter telling him to take off his Adidas hat and basketball shorts.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                          New York Times weighs in.

                          https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/02/w...rom-dress.html

                          “It’s ridiculous to criticize this as cultural appropriation,” Zhou Yijun, a Hong Kong-based cultural commentator, said in a telephone interview. “From the perspective of a Chinese person, if a foreign woman wears a qipao and thinks she looks pretty, then why shouldn’t she wear it?”

                          If anything, the uproar surrounding Ms. Daum’s dress prompted many Chinese to reflect on examples of cultural appropriation in their own country. “So does that mean when we celebrate Christmas and Halloween it’s also cultural appropriation?” asked one WeChat user, Larissa.
                          Also, China appropriated the dress from Manchuria. And it has already been westernized.

                          Others were quick to point out that the qipao, as it is known in China, was introduced by the Manchus, an ethnic minority group from China’s northeast — implying that the garment was itself appropriated by the majority Han Chinese. In its original form, the dress was worn in a baggy style, mostly by upper-class women during the Qing dynasty, which ruled China for more than 250 years, until 1912.

                          It was only in the 1920s and ’30s, when Western influence began seeping into China, that the qipao was reinvented to become the seductive, body-hugging dress that many think of today. For many cinephiles, it has become inextricably associated with Maggie Cheung, the actress who wore a stunning array of cheongsams in Wong Kar-wai’s 2000 film “In the Mood for Love.”
                          Being outraged is hard work!

                            The guy left a string of several tweets defending himself. He just kept digging.
