hi everyone!! in this episode, we went over cultural appropriation of desi culture, as well as others as well. there are so many examples of cultural appropriation we see in our day to day lives, but during holidays such as halloween, often times, someone's culture becomes another's costume. this is something that needs to be changed, and the fact is - nobody's culture is your costume to mock. we must be cognizant of others and appreciate their culture and learn about it, not use it as mockery and be ignorant. also, we went a little bit into the white savior complex, forceful conversions, and how mission trips aren't always what they seem to be. as always, we love you, and be sure to follow us on instagram (@browngirlbanter_) for more info on upcoming podcast release dates, resources to educate yourself on important issues, or to dm us with any topics you'd like us to discuss, or with any feedback you'd like to give! we hope you loved listening as much as we did recording❤️
