High School girl's prom dress causes controversy

Picking out a dress for prom can be a huge decision but 18 year old senior Keziah Daum is getting backlash for her design choice.   Keziah decided on a traditional Chinese cheongsam dress for her prom at Woods Cross High School and people are not happy calling the dress culturally inappropriate.   She says that she was celebrating the culture and thought the dress was beautiful.

What do you think?

To everyone who says I’m ignorant, I fully understand everyone’s concerns and views on my dress. I mean no harm. I am in no way being discriminative or racist. I’m tired of all the backlash and hate when my only intent was to show my love.

This isn’t ok. I wouldn’t wear traditional Korean, Japanese or any other traditional dress and I’m Asian. I wouldn’t wear traditional Irish or Swedish or Greek dress either. There’s a lot of history behind these clothes. Sad.

Was the theme of prom casual racism?
