Why are the Chinese dressed in kilts and playing bagpipes at the Olympics?

submitted by we_kill_creativity to whatever 3.4 yearsFeb 9, 2022 13:38:40 ago (+4/-0)     (whatever)

I don't typically watch sports propaganda but the winter Olympics is one of the rare chances I get to watch a sport I really like: curling...

Every single time the players come out it's to some Chinese dudes playing the bagpipes and in kilts. It's the most random thing I've seen lately and I'm wondering if anyone can enlighten me as to why.

Scots should complain, this is cultural appropriation.

I just find it hilariously random and absurd...every culture that hosts the Olympics fills it with references and homages to their own culture, as they should...but here we have the Chinese dressed in kilts playing bag pipes. It would be like if they put feathers in their hair and started doing Indian war dances and shit...I just don't get the play here.

Because they're duplicitous communists?

Why the fuck are you watching that CCP propaganda?!

Because I'm grown up enough to ignore the propaganda and still enjoy curling.

Anyways, I was curious if anyone knew their reasoning for doing it. It's so random. It would be like coming out in cowboy hats and firing off 6 shooters or something.

EDIT: I mean it's so random that I find it funny. If it's Chinese propaganda shouldn't they be doing, idk...Chinese stuff...?

I just mean that we should not be boosting their ratings. My wife put on some random event by accident the other day and it looked cool - but I mentioned COMMUNISTS and she switched the channel before too long because she's white and proud and she's got a song to sing!

Fucking goofball bugpeople. If they weren't commies, I'd kind of like them. But just like all cultures, I'd like them over there in their own country where they belong.

So you don't know why they're wearing kilts and playing bagpipes...thanks for taking the scenic route to not answer my question.

(Btw, literally everyone in the world could not watch the Super Bowl and the next day the "media" would say "Record TV ratings for the Super Bowl!!!"...I like curling and the winter olympics is about the only time I get to watch it, so instead of letting "them" tell me what to watch, I'll watch curling if I want to. Regardless, I hate Zog, not the Chinese.)
