A lot of celebrities have been seen wearing bindis, and it is a blatant sign of cultural appropriation. The bindi is a sacred symbol for women of Southeast Asian heritage, and it is insensitive for people to wear this just because they think it looks stylish.





Lets spread awareness of this issue by using the hashtag #reclaimthebindi. Thanks, All

Here is an article to support my platform:

What if those bindis are mutations caused by proximity to unsafe nuclear power plants though :ohdear:

I'm sure after reading this post they are throwing their shameful bindis straight to the ground and stomping on them. Close one, they are thinking: I almost lost a chance at sex with SA poster Cool NIN Shirt!

According to some, she is too young for you to find attractive. You are a pervert in the minds of some.

my bud got really mad because some kid asked her if she had any pot and she figured it was because she's black and has dreads and she said white stoners with dreads have created a terrible stereotype about dreads and weed and i asked her if maybe it was bob marleys fault too since he had dreads and really liked pot but she said I'm an idiot and she's pretty smart so white people really need to cut that poo poo out

Oh who would've guessed some 16-24 Indian girl would write a long article about how hard it is to be her and how colonialism really affects her everyday life as she lives in her huge house with her Brahman descended family in the United States with the same quality of life and culture of the people "appropriating her culture". She's really different she eats samosas sometimes!!! Really the reason she is unable to do anything productive with her life is because the world is too cruel and triggering, not because she's too spoiled and entitled.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

Every Indian girl I've met living in America has been smoking hot and from a filthy rich family

in summary, this thing that rich white girls (and Selena Gomez) do sometimes is kinda dumb but not really a particularly harmful influence on society or otherwise Big Deal and it's kinda weird to hashtag about while acting really self-important

what about all the things indian people appropriated from whites? like making GBS threads in toilets instead of in the streets, and not burning widows to death?

Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.

I've got the world on a string.


bindis in general are p much a fashion item in south Asia these days, teen girls can buy little sheets of bindi stickers that can be thrown out after they get gross

saying that putting a stick-on bindi on your head is cultural appropriation because old Hindu women put vermillion on their heads is like saying that wearing a necklace is cultural appropriation because old Catholic women wear rosaries

that said, festie people are the worst and i support shaming them whenever possible

Combatting ethnocentrism by insisting people keep their fashion / food / entertainment interests homogenous to their ethnic or national compartments. Yeah that sure helps the melting pot concept.
