anyone wanna hear a controversial thought? might get dragged
not actually controversial but i dont think east asian appropriation of indian culture is really quite as bad or comparable to appropriation of black culture. like its still bad but i just think they have different histories and impacts
idk like...if other desis are offended by chungha then yeah i think obviously email her team etc etc no ones saying what she did is fine but acting like that situation is equal to the dynamics of anti-blackness and CA of black culture in asia is. well
1. "stop speaking over indians" im indian
2. "so you think its fine" i literally said it wasnt
3. this is about the dynamics WITHIN ASIA. i get that its different in the west this is about ASIA
"oppression olympics" can you calm down...i said they arent comparable situations because the histories and dynamics are different which is. true
DISCLAIMER: I AM A NON-BLACK INDIAN. someone told me that people are saying this may seem like a black person speaking over indians which is NOT what is happening at all. stop using this as an excuse to be more anti-black
last tweet! the point of my tweet was that we need to stop trying to compare racism between asians to racism from asians to black ppl bc they are different situations. i had no intention of overstepping on black issues and that wasnt even the focus or point i was trying to make
and yes it was a direct response to a tweet i saw comparing them. ok muted and if u actually wanna have a conversation w nuance then im open to that
