MY
CULTURE
is NOT
some boho trend. It is NOT something "chic"
and "trendy" that you can exploit at
Coachella. Henna is not "boho" and
it's not "tribal flash tatoos."
Women of my culture get shamed for
wearing a bindi, for wearing henna, for representing
their culture and you want to use it as a fashion trend
to prove that you're "Exotic"? HELL NAH.
You shame us Muslim women for wearing a hijab, for
wearing a veil, yet you can wear one to look exotic and
cultural. UHM NO. MY CULTURE AND RELIGIONS IS NOT
YOUR FASHION TREND. That bindi doesn't make you
look cute and that henna on your hands which I was
shamed for wearing does not make you look cultural. And
DON'T you dare tell me otherwise. I know more about
my culture and religion than you do.People in my
culture get shamed for having darker
skin, you mock our "otherness" and our
failure to assimilate yet you appropriate our
culture.
Disgusting.
