Is it just me or is desi culture one of the most frequently appropriated cultures by white people? Like no one brings up henna, or traditional jewelry, or Bollywood themed parties but I think it’s strange that Desis seem to think it’s a compliment.

I get what you mean but I don’t wanna make it into a competition, the goras steal from all nonwhite cultures. And I think it’s the minority of desis that take cultural appropriation as a compliment. Maybe I’m surrounding myself with the right people but most desis I know are very angry about goras watering down and stealing our culture.
