Woke Knight

Person 1: And here is a picture of me in a Kimono when I went to a wedding in Japan.
Person 2: That is incredibly offensive that you did that. Do you know what cultural appropriation is? You cannot wear the clothing of other cultures.
Person 1: I was actually given this and asked to wear it by my friend. Everyone there was really happy to see me wearing it and I was given a lot of compliments. Emily, you are not Japanese, and haven't even been to Japan, who are you to say that I cant wear this when over a hundred Japanese people expressed joy in me taking part in their culture? What are you, some sort of woke knight?
