very reasonable response, fully agree. the thing is also that racism isn’t talked about in these terms in europe, so hence a slightly shifted perspective on things.

as mentioned above...

thanks, yes that was the kind of answer i was looking for. just kind of used it as a bit of an inflammatory example to ilicit a response. i’d never wear a bindi if my bengali friend didn’t actually put it on me. it’s difficult but i absolutely agree - anything, once it’s worn and said in a public forum- is political,…

being accused of being angry or any insult isn’t (always) people being racist, it’s people being people. i don’t think i was being unreasonable.

and now you’re insulting me because...? and pinning all of my comments on me being “white people”. whatever, i guess you can take the commenter out of the u.s. but you can’t take the u.s. out of the commenter, huh?
