ozli:

so apparently flower crowns are cultural appropriation now

because hawaiians’ ancestors used to put flowers on their head, so that means NO NON-HAWAIIAN THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY WILL EVER BE ALLOWED TO PUT FLOWERS ON THEIR HEAD EVER.

i’m sure hawaiians will rest easy knowing their exclusive right to put flowers on their head is safe from nefarious appropriators

thank you noble bloggers. you’ve saved the day again

^condescending and disrespectful.

Not to mention incorrect. Flowered crowns have existed in multiple cultures throughout the world. However, it is cultural appropriation to wear a flower crown in attempt to dress up as a ‘Hawaiian’.
