How the fuck isn't it? Only Asians cultures have a standard of wearing a face mask because of pollution or sickness. You won't find people wearing masks in anywhere else with any regularity. I live in a big city and can count on one hand the times I've seen a non-Asian wear one of those masks; and I'm taking into account people who were cosplaying as Sub Zero or Scorpion.

Are you the guy that was trying to float the idea of wearing a mask because he didn't have a chin?

>> No.14062149

>>14060917
I have a box of surgical masks and I wear them when I have a cold because it's polite and because I commute a lot and I don't want to be spreading my germs everywhere.
Not Asian btw.

Unless you're actually sick, no. And if you do wear them, then get disposable ones.

It isn’t really fitting of the title of appropriation. Unlike traditional cultural garb for example, these masks are not really sacred in any way to the cultures of the countries in which they are utilized. Appropriation implies the use of an item from another culture in a way that hurts the original culture. Whites wearing facemasks might look ugly, but they aren’t taking advantage of Asians by doing so.

In conclusion:
FUCK SURGICAL MASKS
