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 honestly thought it was all staged. Wasn’t she living there for a while before the wedding? If the smell was as putrid and abrasive as she claims it was , while trying to justify her making those super rude faces, I feel like she would have noticed them doing this before. Even if she was not allowed in the kitchen she would have noticed right? I don’t know much about this religious practice so I don’t know how often they do it. But if it doesn’t happen all the time, and it’s once every few months, I feel like she could have sucked it up. But I swear it was being painted as something they do all the time and it’s like girl, how have you never noticed this.
