Please don’t encourage usage of “namaste” like in this post title - it’s really offensive to Indian people due to the context of appropriation of Indian culture by the west. Thanks.

Respectfully, please don’t perpetuate this article’s use of “namaste,” as it’s pretty offensive to Indian people. Thanks.

The use of spiritual here is not the best case, as it tends to involve cherry-picking bits of Indian cultural/religious practices that appeal to the sensibilities of white westerners while leaving out the parts they find to be icky, overly “ethnic,” etc. It’s offensively appropriative and disrespectful to the culture…

Please don’t perpetuate the use of “namaste” like this - it’s really offensive to Indian people because of the context of appropriation around it. Cheers.

Please don’t, because it’s really offensive to Indian people. Thanks.

No, it really shouldn’t, because it’s really offensive to Indian people. Check your privilege, please.

i love the words the west takes from india and how they take on new meaning. like namaste being some yoga thing and swastika being some white power thing. keep up the good work guys.

Calling any woman a cunt is just plain unacceptable. It’s as unacceptable as calling an African American the “n” word. There are plenty of nongendered nonmisogynist names you could have called her. Shame on you.
