[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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] It's religious. I do not understand why they even allow bindis to be sold to whites/non-Indians like Gwen Stefani (who's as white as they come).[/quote] First of all, who is "they"? Second, you are confounding religion and race/ethnicity. Whites can be Hindu, and Indians can be Christian, Muslim, atheist, etc. [/quote] Well anyway, everyone agrees cultural appropriation is deplorable.[/quote]
