it's so ironic bc theyll call south Asians dirty and push inaccurate stereotypes of Indians onto anyone with darker skin or from a country near India, but then they love our 'Scandinavian scarves' and 'Buddha bangles/bracelets' and 'Boho chic aesthetic' and 'spicy water bombs'

Hi, great video but just to say, the subtitles are not very bright, sometimes you cant read it and it majes it harder to follow.. But great job, keep going !

I’m doing my thesis on hijab and niqab bans. Part of it critiques Orientalist and post-colonial depictions of Muslim women as needing to be saved by a Western savior. Really love your breakdown of this issue 👏🏽

Loved this video! I was recently thinking about how selective racial biases are, for example westerners who love South Asian foods but demonise other parts of their culture so seeing an expanded in depth explanation was interesting

Edward said wrote about this in his book Orientalism. The first 10 paragraphs of this book perfect explains the need for culture that the barbarian west needed to hide the evils they’ve committed for centuries.

this was so interesting you're so well spoken, could u do a similar video but focusing more on the impact on middle Eastern and north African cultures for example how belly dancing was stripped from its original identity for women to aid cramps, fertility and in preparation for childbirth to an exotic seductive dance for the male gaze aswell as the whole dubai chocolate phase you would never see any of these influencers eat Kanafeh as its original dessert or any kind of 'arab' food
