Namast'ay In Your Lane | South Asians and Cultural Appropriation

Despite the comical titling of this episode, cultural appropriation is an issue that South Asians not only face but participate in. From bindis in the Halloween aisle, to Christian Yoga...from Gucci turbans to "blaccents," this episode of The Woke Desi delves into the notions of cultural appropriation versus appreciation, how appropriation comes from concepts of colonization and methods used to shame people of color, and how we see it today.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thewokedesi/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thewokedesi/supportGo to https://betterhelp.com/thatdesispark for 10% off your first month of therapy withBetterHelp and get matched with a therapist who will listen and help! #sponsoredFollow TDS on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and catch up with the hosts, Annika and Nehal, on their personals.
