Netizens defend decision to don Chinese traditional dress for prom

A US teenager criticized on social media for wearing a traditional Chinese dress to her high school prom defended her decision and has won support from netizens in China.

Keziah Daum, 18, a high school senior in Utah, faced a backlash from thousands online, some of whom accused her of "cultural appropriation" after she posted an album of four prom pictures on Twitter on April 22 that featured her wearing a traditional qipao, or cheongsam, a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women.
