In the middle of posting this, someone just told me that many previously colonized countries have to outport their goods at an uneven exchange, and India has their culture as a product. Is there a lot of white washing disrespectful appropriation? Are there lots of cults too?
oh uh there’s colorism and a bunch of like skin bleaching kinda shit in Indian media, i thought you meant sanitizing atrocities and stuff.
i think you’re describing appropriation rather than anything i’d call whitewashing.
Oh okay, I’ll just say appropriation.
