Yes, it was a kimono. A qinao is a type of kimono. As it days in the article.
I’m not lying, and I haven’t made any claims other than that this incident was a false alarm. Don’t confuse me for the other user.
For the record, my view is that cultural appropriation is a real and serious issue, but some people are quick to jump the gun in such accusations, out of a misplaced (and potentially racist) paternalistic need to “defend” marginalised people, as if they themselves can’t call people out, especially when said people are saying such a thing isn’t even offensive, just like the OP.
