A Westernized useful idiot (who also looks like what we would
expect) exposes his own inferiority by criticizing (using an
expressly Western perspective) one of the few things China had
(until recently, see below) not screwed up on:

I have previously praised the Deng-era school uniforms here:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/true-left-breakthrough-degendering/msg5246/#msg5246
It is clearly lower in sexual dimorphism than its Japanese and
South Korean counterparts, as well as less Western in style,
thus superior on two counts. This is not to say there is no room
for improvement; for example, the folded collar is still of
Western origin and therefore should be discarded. I personally
would advocate going back to the school uniform design of
ancient China:

In reality, unfortunately, school uniforms in the increasingly
Eurocentric "New China" are gradually Westernizing and
increasing in sexual dimorphism:

1920s Confucianist
1930s Westernizing
1940s More Westernizing
1950s FTW! ONLY THIS ONE DESERVES TO BE CALLED CHINESE!
1960s Western collar, but at least low in sexual dimorphism
1970s Western collar + Western lapel, but at least still low in
sexual dimorphism
1980s Sexual dimorphism increasing (note button placement
compared to previous two; see also:
HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/issues/dress-decolonization/msg5632/?topicseen#msg5632<br
/>), a sign of danger
1990s Westernization resumes full force
2000s Beyond redemption
2010s **** "New China"
2020s I need to watch some (non-mainland-produced) wuxia dramas
to heal myself

Higher sexual dimorphism =/= better. With that said, they
dressed like that because Western civilization is obsessed with
sexual dimorphism and the Counterculture had not yet arrived to
let them know that they do not have to be Westerners.

I wish they could have chosen a better IRI picture (without the
Western suits).
Anyway, compare with pre-colonial Iranian clothes:

Our enemies are openly calling for Iran to be recolonized.

Bras are Western, and were certainly not worn in Nigeria prior
to the colonial era. The problem is that:

Any dress code in Nigeria in which bras (or any other Western
item) are compulsory should be viewed as a sign of colonization.

Contrary to those who encourage everyone to like their own hair
just because it is their own (which is actually a form of
identitarianism), I have no problem with anyone who dislikes
their own hair. But the best response for the latter group
should be to cut it off, not to hide it underneath someone
else's hair. And even if you must wear someone else's hair, it
should definitely not be your colonizers' hair (or synthetic
replicas of it)! I therefore disagree with the video's
(implicitly identitarian) position that it is equally bad for
"blacks" to wear any "non-black" hair.
