As 'Kimono' awaits for trademark review, critics have suggested filing protests to prevent the brand name from getting approval. Let us know your thoughts below.

@lysias_55 it’s nothing to do with being sensitive about a word, it’s the cultural significance of that word.
I understand how it’s easy for you and thousands of others to see no harm, but that probably has something to do with you all being ignorant of that culture — you backwards savages.

@meeprivateeaccc I said “black people just as sensitive bro” so Instantly that was all pointless, and I said that because they was jumping on the ‘attacking white people is easy and free and you can’t be racist if you attack white people’ train that I’m sure you agree with

@h.tetrault7 It's a legal precedence, if her clothing brand is trademarked "Kimono" she has the right to sue another company for selling a product called "Kimono." Which guess who the whole country of Japan has stores with the name Kimono in it.

@skinzundeniable Yeah I get that and I understand. But saying something like “black people are way more sensitive” isn’t going to help people get along ??♀️ Because like you said, anyone’s feelings are valid lol

I’m Japanese and I’ve never been so offended. So does everyone on this petition.

This is severe cultural appropriation.

@amazongeisha tell me, why are you actually upset? Why do you let this effect your life? Damn today’s culture is all about outrage over stupid petty things.
