it really is something else to grow up afraid to eat mom’s food at school or wear a bindi or mehendi outside or wear a lehenga or sari or chudidhar for parties or speak in my mother tongue…like that was my entire childhood and its still my life. but then you turn around and see white people go to indian restaurants and saying omg i love indian food, or seeing them wear bindis and henna and saris and talk about being “cultured”. and using our languages as their aesthetic, or using them as some sort of godly symbol. growing up a poc in a western world really fucks you up and somehow it’s still our job to educate white people when they’ve spent their entire lives putting us down and stealing our lives.

like maybe it’s just me being a bitter poc but it’s such bullshit that white people steal everything from us from achievements to technology to our people. and then they don our clothes, eat our food and sing our songs and teach or erase our languages, then turn around and berate us for the way we live our lives as if we’re the ones who stole from them. we don’t speak english because we stole it from you we speak it because you stole our history. we don’t wear your clothes because we like them better we wear them because you killed our people. so many poc don’t even know their family history because of what white people have done to us. i don’t know my grandparents’ last names and i know nothing about my family beyond my grandparents, thanks to the british. when i make fun of a white person for using my culture for an aesthetic, i am allowed to be angry. i am allowed to be an asshole. it’s long overdue.

loathe as i am to say this, h*rry p*tter can be kind of useful. like, whenever i meet someone in their mid-thirties who thinks that snape was “very sexy” and “morally correct, actually,” i INSTANTLY know that i’m dealing with a total dumbass. it’s efficient
