Okay, as a brown person, I understand that Hindu culture is very different from American culture and I’m usually pretty chill about people not understanding it. Basically l feel I am not one to take unwarranted offense (Apu on the Simpsons is considered representation to me, not racism; it’s true, we own a lot of 7-11’s 🤣).

BUT during the whole cow manure situation, for Kim to make those faces and call their rituals “DISGUSTING”. It’s one thing to not be comfortable with others traditions - but the blatant disrespect!!! SHE chose to live in India. Traditions are so sacred and close to our hearts in Indian culture. I just found her behavior incredibly distasteful.

AND SHES MAD SHE NEVER KNOWS WHATS GOING ON?? Ask!!! Educate yourself!!! She’s trying to fucking colonize these people.

    I live in India and I didn’t even know rituals like this are a thing! Never heard of it. So I don’t blame her. Like it or not, it is weird. I’d be dumbstruck too if I were in her shoes. It’s TJ’s fault for not telling her things beforehand and assuming she’d be okay with it all once they’re married.
