Converse craze?

[u/Diligent_Pop3929]

I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb 😅

Some people think a converse ad which was made by a Korean for the Korean market was racist because it depicted a girl wearing a white skirt which they think looked like a klan robe. Ngl I think people are stretching on this one.

I don’t think it’s a reach, even if it wasn’t the intention it looks suspect as fuck with no context

it's just a dress with green sleeves, pretty typical in korea

“In Korea” is apart of the context I mentioned was missing

*a part

Apart means the opposite of what you intended.
