Stop doing this!

Every time i see this i cringe. White women dressing like indian men. The issue is not cultural appropriation or cross dressing. It's just so damn tacky it's an embarrassment. If you're past 14 years old you should not find this attractive. Reminds me of 1950s kitch.

Stop posing for it. Stop making it. Get some taste. White or indian is attractive, you don't need a costume that detracts.

Thank you.

‘Back in the early nineteenth century, “tackey” or “tackie” meant “a scrubby, neglected horse.” Then, like plenty of other crude and borderline unprintable slurs with their origins in the animal kingdom, calling someone “tacky” quickly became yet another trusty way to insult a fellow human being.’

But really this is just an excuse to repost these photos of Adam Driver with a horse from his Burberry campaign last summer. Neither horse nor Adam look particularly scrubby or neglected though but can’t help where my free association goes 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

racism, xenophobia, transphobia, etc. are all exceptionally tacky. like. we can all agree on that, right? these things are the truck testicles of human society.

while i totally agree with the "donald trump isn't rich, he's a poor person's idea of rich" analysis, i don't like how often it's brought up because it's less a criticism of him and more of a way to convince people there are OTHER, GOOD RICH people that deserve their sympathy. it's 1%er propaganda.

Hearing the distant loud hailers from the racecourse along with the slight tackiness of Newmarket overall makes me feel like I'm in a bizarre near past dystopia
