so i don’t think a lot of people really understand how often south asian culture is misinterpreted and appropriated so i’m making a post about it right here.
- any mention of third eyes
- any mention of chakras
- people wearing bindis when they shouldn’t be
- fucking “om” or “aum” 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 chick’s yoga pants
- people wearing maang tikka when they shouldn’t be
- anklets with bells on them are very important to the dance culture of south asia and it’s disrespectful to wear them outside of a traditional dance setting
feel free to add any more that i missed because i’m fucking tired
this is okay to rb if you’re not south asian. in fact it’s encouraged that you reblog this post, regardless of your race

It’s like seeing a series finale and all the loose ends and running jokes finally get tied up. To me this is on par with everyone calling jerry by his real name in parks and rec or something
