    Not at all. I'm saying how *I* feel on cultural appropriation. Or, more accurately, what I think & why. You can engage with it or not.https://twitter.com/smelllikesugar/status/913112274889527297 …

    At this is what it comes back to---you're a white woman telling me, I'm black, I'm gay, and you're telling me how to feel on this.

        You are, but doing so in a way where you basically are dismissing the concerns that PEOPLE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY IT have.

        You can survive other people wearing clothes or hairstyles that originated in your culture. You really can.

        The only way NOT TO DISMISS YOUR CONCERNS that would satisfy you would be for them to do what you say. It's not enough to acknowledge them.

        Funnily enough I had a pleasant convo w/someone who has/had a similar stance to yours. But he wasn't an asshole.

        I just disagree with you, Francis... I've been perfectly polite & stressed that I recognise you as genuine person.

        I don't understand why the fact this person is black and gay means their opinion about bindis etc matters more than ur Indian daughter

        Obviously everyone can express an opinion about this but it seems like by far the majority of ppl of all races don't care
