The 'White Man In A Kimono' meme typically satirizes Westerners who adopt traditional Japanese clothing or customs with a perceived lack of self-awareness or depth. Often utilizing stock imagery or photos of tourists, the meme gained traction on social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter to mock the 'weeaboo' subculture or those who claim an 'enlightened' status after a brief visit to East Asia. It serves as a visual shorthand for pretentiousness or the humorous contrast between Western features and traditional Eastern attire, highlighting the often awkward nature of forced cultural immersion or 'spiritual' awakenings that follow a single semester abroad.
