A Utah high school student who was accused of racism for wearing a traditional Chinese dress to her prom said Wednesday on "Fox & Friends" she has no regrets about the choice.
Keziah Daum, 18, posted the controversial pictures on Twitter on April 22 with the simple caption, "PROM."
One of the photos shows Daum crouching down in the red-orange embroidered gown, posing with a group of her friends with their hands folded together — a gesture many deemed inappropriate.
Daum, a senior at Woods Cross High School, quickly received hundreds of angry comments, with people calling her "ignorant" and a "closet racist" and accusing her of cultural appropriation because she's not Chinese.
Daum tweeted that she understands her critics' concerns, but she meant no harm and is tired of the backlash.
