Keziah Daum, from Utah in the United States, posted a series of photos of herself with her friends on the way to her high school prom on Twitter.
But her decision to wear a qipao — a traditional Chinese outfit dating back to the 17th century — has enraged people online and attracted a wave of criticism.
The post began making the rounds after another user — Jeremy Lam — retweeted it with the caption “My culture is NOT your goddamn prom dress.”
In a series of subsequent tweets, Lam explained that the dress represented “extreme barriers marginalized people within (Chinese) culture have had to overcome”.
“For it to simply be subject to American consumerism and cater to a white audience, is parallel to colonial ideology,” he tweeted.
While his tweets criticising Keziah's decision to wear the dress went viral, users were divided on whether it was an issue.
Another person tweeted: "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."
And a third added: "Was the theme of prom casual racism?"
Jeremy Lam told GMA: “They were wearing a dress and using a stereotyped Chinese posture without acknowledging the history behind that piece of clothing.”
However, Daum claims the pose had nothing to do with being Chinese and was actually inspired by a popular YouTuber.
And she “believes I have done nothing but show my appreciation to the Chinese culture,” and will not be removing the photos from Twitter, which have since received over 102,000 likes.
Daum and her friends’ choice of pose, with their hands held in front of them, was also found offensive and “stereotyped.”
Keziah Daum appeared on Good Morning America to discuss the backlash on social media since she wore a red qipao to her high school prom and shared photos of her and her friends posing with prayer signs on Twitter.
But despite the criticism she’s received, the 18-year-old announced that she had no regrets about wearing the traditional Chinese gown - and she would wear it again.
Teenager sparks backlash for ‘casual racism’ of prom dress
“It had nothing to do with race or racial slurs. It was never intended to be thought of as racist,” the teen said on GMA, admitting that she did not expect the photos of her and her friends posing before prom to go viral.
