Here Are 30 Things That You Probably Were Told To Be The Truth, But Actually Aren't

Donald Trump's nickname is now officially "La Petite Merde".

Mister Global Contestants Dress In Their National Costumes And Look Like Video Game Bosses

He is representing the history of his country, not the history of any particular race. It is plainly obvious for all to see that he has European ancestry, but by wearing a costume from his nation's non-European history he is acknowledging that ethnicity takes second place to nationality. I know in north america there is a strong taboo around cultural appropriation, but that sentiment is not widely shared around the world, at least not that I've encountered.

He’s representing his country not his 5000 year old DNA migration patterns. Everyone needs to relax.

Jaspaul, where on earth are you from. I find it annoying when people are offended on behalf of others. I am South African. The fact that he is wearing Zulu clothes is a celebration and in huge admiration of the Zulu culture. We have 11 official languages here. None of us are purebreds of any kind and I must say I'm proud of my mixed heritage. So please shut it.

Im proud of this guy representing my country. He is as South African as can be. We are a diverse nation. So any South African can represent SA.

Right - for those have who their knickers in a twist saying that it's wrong to have a Boer dressed as a Zulu... he's not. I can see at least seven different cultures represented by what that guy is wearing. It's actually a pretty smart way to incorporate just about everyone who lives in South Africa in one image.

Side note: He looks a bit like Chris Pine..in saying so, he's a very nice looking man.

Actually, I'd say Native Americans and Asians built America. Or maybe you don't know that part of American history. I'm pretty sure the white people that live in South Africa now had nothing to do with when Europeans came there. They've been there for more generations then America has even existed. They have a right to represent their homeland. Otherwise, by your own logic, African Americans have no right to represent anything that has to do with America since they aren't from there and all.

Too bad for you that the vast majority of black South Africans embrace white South Africans to wear their cultural attire as it promotes unity. Interestingly enough only those younger university students who are "americanized" see it your way..

I like that the excuse for insulting is always "it's unhealthy". So are stiletto shoes and being under weight. You're not making fun of heavy people because they are unhealthy, you're just a mean person.
