so i donât think a lot of people really understand how often south asian culture is misinterpreted and appropriated so iâm making a post about it right here.
any mention of third eyes
any mention of chakras
people wearing bindis when they shouldnât beÂ
fucking âomâ or âaumâ tattoos or appliques on things like yoga pants. do you know how fucking disrespectful it is to put a symbol that is so important to my religion and culture on the ass of some white chickâs yoga pants
people wearing maang tikka when they shouldnât be
anklets with bells on them are very important to the dance culture of south asia and itâs disrespectful to wear them outside of a traditional dance setting
feel free to add any more that i missed because iâm fucking tired
this is okay to rb if youâre not south asian. in fact itâs encouraged that you reblog this post, regardless of your race
^^Anyone is capable of appropriation without meaning to, even other poc. Please respect!
