[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wearing a bindi is cultural appropriation??[/quote] Well, yes. This is not a new idea: I remember lots of questioning articles even when Gwen Stefani wore one in the 1990s. If you're wearing something for fashion that another culture uses for spiritual observance and expression, that's the very definition of appropriation. (If you're wearing a bindi for your culture's spiritual expression, though, rock it.)[/quote] You know, religion shouldn't be so damn sacred. She liked it, she wore it. The only time I think it should be a problem is if people are making fun of it in some way. Like, hey, if some black woman wants to wear a plaid skirt, I'm not gonna get my scottish panties in a wad.
