Why is it okay...?

for ethnic groups such as Eastern Asian and African-Americans to dress and act in what's considered "a white manner" because that means that the ethnic groups are "moving up" so to say? But if a white person dresses in what's considered "black" clothing (baggy jeans, ect), they're automatically a "poser" or something. If a black person dyes their hair platinum blonde and wear blue contacts, it's not (widely) considered that they're trying to look white but if a pale, blue eyed, blonde white person got cornrows and wore a gold grill on their teeth, people look down on them for it. Why is this? No, I'm not racist. Just give honest thoughts.

Why is it okay...?
Because while the opposite is not true, "acting Black" is considered undignified for a White person.
Reply:Because there are stereotypes of what people of certain races are supposed to look/act like. However, I feel like anyone should be allowed to dress or act a certain way regardless of their color. But it also involves where they grew up. I've had white friends that grew up in "black neighborhoods" so they embrace that culture. I've had black friends who grew up in "white neighborhoods" so they embrace that culture. Of course once they get outside those neighborhoods is when the issues come about.
