What if people from different cultures start calling Han-bok traditional Korean clothing with a wrong name, not knowing crap about it.

I don't think I have a right to define if nonblack people can wear box braids or not. I think only black people have a right to do so. Right now, many people of diverse ethnicity are residing in South Korea, but still, many Koreans recognize Korea as a racially homogenous nation," she explained.
