just want an opinion. My little boy is 6 and he saw something about Lunar New Year on one of his youtube shows and he really wants to celebrate it. I'm not sure how to handle it because we are the whitest people on the planet, and I'm not sure if it would be offensive, or weird if we did something for Lunar New Year. Part of me is psyched because he wants to explore other cultures, but I'm worried that it would be disrespectful. I'm sorry if this ask is cringe, pls feel free to ignore if it is.

Hey!! Thank you for this ask!!

Of course I cannot speak for all people but I think it would be alright for you to celebrate it! We are really open with our culture and the people I know are very happy to share our culture and customs.

It's actually very funny to witness, for example I look pretty much white passing because I am mixed, and from experience back in China/Taiwan people always react positively when they see someone "from outside" enjoy their culture because it means that you have put effort in learning about it.

As long as you have fun and are open to learn, I don't think you have anything to worry about!

Fun and easy ways to celebrate would include wearing red clothes or hanging red paper diamonds upside down since it's a pun for good fortune! For example these are some I just took a photo of:

And you can just hang them upside down (in this case, the white markings on the top)!!

You can also cook fish, or buy dumplings from a local restaurant, if they offer it! I think they would be happy for some support in these times.

Another thing you can do is hand out money in little red paper envelopes, it doesn't have to be much, but it's a custom to hand out money to the children for good fortune.

These are just some easy ways to celebrate, if you have any follow up questions, please direct them my way❤ and I think that you're extremely respectful and thoughtful, this is not cringe at all! Thank you so much for taking the time to send this ask, and for wanting to do this for your son at all!!

a callout post for the incredibly problematic @deepestbananainfluencer

is obsessed with the colour blue to the point where it’s probably unhealthy

if the colour blue was edible she’d probs eat it

has a shitty taste in music

knows too many embarrassing things about me

has a coke addiction (coca cola but give it 5 years and who knows)

has better skin than me

probably fought Poseidon in a Dennys backlot

speaking of water she claims she likes swimming but if the water isn’t at a boiling temperature she won’t come in

a try-hard™™™

probably is kissing up to her spanish teacher as we speak

is a sarcastic fucker

is annoying af and she may act all cute but if you get on her bad side then hO BOY

is manipulative!! don’t trust this bitch!! some may call that Toxic Behaviour 😷😷

she thinks she has an incredible fashion taste but we know that’s not true

is the whitest non-white girl I’ve ever met

has enough anxiety for the whole entire country

she’s a math whiz (blocked)

she hates everything I like

I also hate everything she likes so I guess we even

one time she lost me (how do you lose a person)

she Let Me walk around with a bowl haircut and then a mullet for a YEAR god who does that

she’s banned from the local dive shop

she comes up with the Shittiest pick-up lines and then wonders why she doesn’t have a boyfriend

one time she told me to jump off a wall with an umbrella to see if I’d float and I did it

I sprained my ankle and had to run the pacer the very next day

she laughed
