I’m not a big fan of Selena Gomez, but even if I were, I would still point this out. Her new single has “Indian-inspired” music, and she performed it live for the first time yesterday at the MTV Movie Awards. She is dressed in “Indian clothes”- bindi and all- and her dance is also desi-inspired. This REALLY bugged me. This isn’t just a pic of her with a bindi (which is still a big problem and super upsetting), but the ENTIRE PROMOTION of her new single is appropriating someone’s culture. She isn’t even desi. Part Latina. I hate it when white people do this, but when other people of color act blindly without considering the consequences of their actions, IT MAKES ME SO ANGRY. Check it out below:
