So you are saying you read these lyrics:
It’s yellow, spicy, / and although does not smell nice, TAJ MAHAL / Add onions and potatoes / but not beef, NAMASTE
and did not realise that adding random words from indian culture and saying shit like "oh it doesn't smell nice" they are racist? You must live under a rock babe. Also the fact that curry is not even fucking Indian and a british concept???
personally ? no because when i read the lyrics, my mind immediately traveled to the fact that korea and india have different palates and the lyric can allude to the fact that the smell of curry itself is different from what they're used to and for lyrical purposes, such words were chosen
like i said, the song was made before cultural awareness is a thing and if you look at norazo's songs and genre and target audience, ignorance is expected. I'm not saying it's okay or excusable or should be brushed off, heck even norazo apologized for writing and publishing the song when years after its released, people were finally calling him out and the song is now banned from broadcasting stations. but to just call the song writer racist is... wow... and no, i don't live under a rock but where i come from, we don't have much desis or desi culture so it's still a learning curve for me. but it's amazing that you just called someone "living under a rock" for not knowing something. and yeah i do know that the word curry is british but i have absolutely no idea why or how or when it became an issue because like i said, no one here is talking about it. that being said, did you know that sushi is not originated from japan ?? did you know raw fish weren't consumed in japanese sushi until a norwegian or someone scandinavian came to japan and convinced people that their salmon, unlike the japanese one is not pumped with mercury ?
don't use that fucking tone on me unless you understand and know about every single fucking cultural issues on earth. you're allowed to educate but you're not allowed to get all high and mighty when you can't even get off anon because you're scared that me or others might find out how ignorant you really are about other cultures and you just want to feel justified due to this unfortunate situation. you're taking advantage over someone's mistake to make yourself seem better and you even took this opportunity to find self justification and for one short second feel good about yourself because you know when you're off anon you're nothing but a cowardly hypocrite with inferiority complex
