white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna
take my skin colour too
and my dark brown lips
take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty
take the oppression too
take the history of colonization that has devastated my country
and the drones that currently devastate my country
take all the bad stuff too
not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits
take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too
hey culture appropriation supporter, if you love bindis and war bonnets so much, how come i only see you reblogging them when they’re on a white person??? and never on the person of the ethnicity/background to which the cultural significant thing belongs???
