"Honestly, he shouldn’t have been interrogating me about my race in the first place. Does he also go up to people and ask them if they’re black??

Also,

who says only Japanese people should wear Kimono?

Who says anyone in a Kimono must be Japanese?

Kimono might be Japanese in origin but it is also part of the world’s culture.

I should not have to avoid wearing certain things because people will harass me, especially at anime conventions where everyone is dressed up!"

I have a friend who won't wear her Yukata unless I'm there to help her tie her obi. But it's a beautiful thing and I think she should wear it even when I'm not there. 

I wish there were kimono that fit bigger girls like me though ;_;

Beautifully said!  I actually wore a kimono I bought from Tokyo Disney World that I wore to a cousin's wedding.  it's a beautiful piece of material, why do you need to be Japanese to wear it?
