skz singing along to the extremely racist and offensive “curry” song interesting

Pink fantasy - arang using maang tikka (head piece) for aesthetic use

(Oh my girl) wearing maang tikka and bindis

(oh my girls) 'curry song' the lyrics were "it's yellow, spicy, and although it doesn't smell nice, taj mahal" "shanti shanti, yoga fire. i love hot curry" they evidently were ridiculing south asians especially Indians.

(Seventeen) veron and dk singing the curry song

Both the dancers involved in sunmi's TikTok apologized

(chakra) Hwangbo came on the latest episode of Giant Pengsoo wearing a bindi.

(the9) wearing bindi as aesthetic ,, (also the appropriated black culture on the same day so no words)

Lucas from nct,wavy, superm wearing a jacket printed (?) with hindu gods on them for aesthetic purpose

KARD the fact that they were in the desi appreciation thread actually disappoints me but we desis can never have anything so whatever they used maang tikka/ matha patti as aesthetic for their new mv gun$hot

(BLACKPINK) I'm not a muslim so I asked .y friend abt this and well....wtf
