desi people
i am a desi diaspora chick interested in people and their browness in various forms (especially those that might deviate in different ways from the slick bollywood images that i/we regularly consume)
browness is a fluid term used by many in many different ways. i generally use it as we did growing up; desi peeps

It is not remotely ok that this campaign became a joke.
Because cultural appropriation really hurts real, living people.
And ‘sexy princess’ does not.
So fuck right off with making a joke of this.
Agreed that it is not remotely ok that this campaign became a joke. Its not a joke. And yes, cultural appropriation really hurts real, living people.
But I question the suggestion that “‘sexy princess’ does not”.
Women are real living people. And it IS a slap in the face for women to be spoon fed this demeaning pink bunk. Including brown women like me. So not only does the above image make a mockery of the I am not a Costume campaign, but it also seems to trivialize certain forms of feminist resistance.
