You are so quick to jump on the "lelz SJWs!!!" bandwagon but fail to realise this is a common and well-discussed situation amongst all South Asians. I don't see where YOU come into the conversation when it, literally, does not affect you or your history and representation in the slightest. Keep talking about pop stars and how much sales impact your life, but don't ****ing belittle my people for a quick kii.
We don't want whites and non-Desis exploiting our fashions and stripping it of its significance. Simple as that. It's not a SJW thing, it's preserving cultural heritage. If these cancer patients want to feel beautiful, this is not the way.

By the way @Glamorous
Were you the one that personally invented henna tattoos?
Or do you have a ****ing patent on henna tattoos?
I didn't think so.
So just shut up and stop speaking for all South Asians around the world.
Cultural Appropriation is ******** and you need to take several seats with your annoying and whiny ass.

And this person was really trying it, attempting to accuse me of belittling his culture when I've said nothing specific in this thread about it.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that you were the one claiming that the cancer patients were to be blamed. It's just the hostile attitude toward them on tumblr kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.
We're on tumblr/ATRL a lot so you can already basically assume that we all already dislike sexists and racists, as well as homophobes. We like the idea of calling stuff out, but people take it too far too quickly and then it starts to gain negative attention. Republicans eat this kind of stuff up and claim that this is how all liberals think. This is why people complain about "PC" culture when it actually isn't really this extreme.
I am not sure about others, but I personally love calling SJW's out on bs, because they are the ones fighting against the homophobes, racists, and sexists, supposedly, but end up becoming hypocrites and start sounding racist/homophobic/sexist themselves. So it gets hard to take them seriously, but at the same time we kind of have to because some conservative keep an eye on them and use those horrible SJW posts for their own political agendas. So we need to know what's up tbh.
|
So what do you do to combat racism or sexism? Oh, that's right. You make a bigger deal about SJW's than actual people getting murdered due to their race, sexuality, or sex. Probably because you think it makes you cool and hip.

It's just so hilarious when tumblr keyboard warriors moan about trivial things like this, especially when 99% of the time they're all privileged first-world self-righteous entitled brats (who aren't even part of whichever culture is in question and know absolutely nothing about it to begin with)

Actually, theoretically, I do, since it stems from my heritage. It has become engrained in South Asian culture for thousands of years. For somebody who prides himself in not taking offence, you sure are offended right now. Do some ****ing research instead of living off your own pretence.

Henna isn't only a Desi thing. Most Muslims in general do it, especially during Eid.

Do you think that making things worse for others is worse than doing nothing? Like I said, they have the right idea, but go to far sometimes. I am actually afraid to call myself an SJW because I don't want the negative connotation that goes with it.
& Girl bye I've been cool/hip since 1942

Your logic is extremely flawed but, at this point, I'm not going to waste my time arguing because it's just going to be the same old ******** and you're still going to be stuck in your stubborn and entitled ways.

This is cultural appreciation. Henna is so amazingly beautiful. These dying women want to have something amazingly beautiful on them. So while I can understand your anger, is it wrong to just let these women have their peace?

But of course, anyone who agrees with a point with 'SJWs' is automatically a 'SJW'. Better than being ignorant and a racist, I suppose.  |
II agree with your first point, but I think it's up to the people in India to be offended, not some little white brat in his/her bedroom typing some rant and pretending to care about world issues only to feel good about himself/herself
