i logged onto twitter after hours of posting this, i feel like i need to clarify some things for some people: i didnāt think this would blow up. my bf sent me money as joke bc of an Anik Khan tweet (the Bengali Rapper)
some people have been responding calling us ādumbassesā and taking the genocide lightly. in no way was this meant to make light of the history. my bf and i have frequent dialogues ab the history. he educated himself a lot to truly understand something the was never taught to him-
-Anyone who knows us personally in real life knows this to be true. him sending me money isnāt making light of the history, itās in reference to a tweet by a bengali rapper we both love and itās our way of always having dialogues about the history behind Bangladesh.
also the fact that other bengalis are getting mad at me for āmaking a joke of our genocideā... my pakistani bf is ACKNOWLEDGING the genocide on his countryās INDEPENDENCE. the money was bc of Anik Khan but my bf is literally thinking ab Bangladesh on the day of paki independence
