Since desi cultural appropriation is always brushed under the rug, here& #39;s ggs using my culture and its elements as aesthetic and appropriating it; a long thread.

And before y& #39;all ask me & #39;why is it wrong-& #39; im not here to educate you. It& #39;s 2020 and google is free. Educate yourself and then open your mouth.

Let& #39;s start with this because why not.

Narazo and their infamous "curry" Lyrics

There are a lot other groups who have done desi ca and have never been called out. Weki weki, oh my girl, fiestar, wjsn, 4minute, and soloists like chungha, iu are included too.
Not only ggs but many bgs have mocked our culture and narazo& #39;s & #39;curry& #39; is the biggest example.

This thread could go on w the amount of times these people have mocked my. Culture, have kekeked on it, used it as their aesthetic and no one cared to call them out. T

The point of this thread is not to send any hate to any of the idols but is just to educate them and stop this. This is highly disrespectful to us, and our culture especially because /we/ were mocked for performing the same practices and now they are using it for their liking.

Even if it& #39;d have not been the case, it& #39;s mya culture and yet yall reduced it to mere an aesthetic. It hurts to see how we desis have always been among the first ones to speak up and always show our support to others but stan twt barely cares about us, our culture.

This has been going on for so long and has always been brushed aside, we are silenced, asked not to overreact and case closed. It& #39;s forgotten. Another idol does something and the same thing happens. We& #39;re tired of speaking up for ourselves and getting silenced over and over.

What& #39;s worse is how some of our own people dont care and try to silence us. If /you/ are not offended, or are desperate for the acceptance doesn& #39;t mean we too are and we cant be offended. Stop invalidating our feelings.

All we& #39;re asking for is us and our culture to be left alone. We& #39;d be very much thankful.

A/n : the info in the thread can be wrong, so please feel free to correct me. And if the girls have apologized, also do tell me.

A good read! https://twitter.com/taezzled/status/1270946205535629317?s=19">https://twitter.com/taezzled/...

And this isnt only limited to kpop. My culture has been appropriated in dramas and advertisements too. The amount of ignorance is just appalling.
