A Utah high school senior stirred controversy over her choice in prom attire. Keziah Daum wore a traditional Chinese dress to prom even though she is not Chinese. She posted prom photos on Twitter and received backlash from other Twitter users. One said, "My culture is NOT your goddamn prom dress." This incident added to the conversation about the fine line between culture appropriation and appreciation.

What do you think? Did Daum cross the line into appropriation?
