What this blog is portraying is utterly bigoted even if you claim it's not. Also, if we can wear Western clothing, why can't they wear Indian clothing? If your argument is because it's 'the norm', how do you think it became the norm? Because it's considered 'trendy' and 'cool' in India because of Bollywood stars etc. And shouldn't all cultures be embraced? Shouldn't we take bits from every culture; isn't that how racism is avoided? It's people like you who give Indians a reputation of rudeness.

“Even if you claim it’s not”. Your first sentence is bigoted and a paradox itself. What makes you the spokesperson of our own blog? Western clothing holds no cultural significance.“The norm”? That isn’t even our argument. All of those questions you have asked are the skeleton of culture appropriation. You’ve got the privilege of internet access. It shouldn’t be hard to look through our resources or even our own faq. Don’t go crying bigoted when you can’t take 5 minutes to understand a concept that is clearly foreign to you. Also this is called youarenotdesi and fyi Desi includes all South Asian races so that was one poorly executed insult. I am Bengali. You’ve got a boatload to learn about racism. - Nicolette

K can ppl stop associating “desi” and “Bollywood” forever? It is seriously just entertainment. Sure it is cultural but it isn the most important. And it doesn represent all of us. OK. There is more than Bollywood in India. There is more than India in South Asia. I dun really even care about most Bollywood movies tbh.
