white girls who want my culture’s bindis and saris and henna 

take my skin colour too

and my dark brown lips

take my self-hatred because i don’t fit into the euro-centric ideals of beauty

take the oppression too

take the history of colonization that has devastated my country

and the drones that currently devastate my country

take all the bad stuff too

not just the pretty, shiny, sparky bits

take the ugly, dehumanizing and shitty parts too

Fine, I’ll just stop appreciating or admiring anything of beauty that culture other than my dull, boring, white-bread world creates; and go back to thinking that anything other than the output of my own culture is inferior, offensive, bizarre and disgusting.

This, children, is how white people bitch about having to deal with their own privilege: by acting as if they have no culture of their own, so they just HAVE to take somebody else’s!!! Won’t SOMEBODY think of the poor, cultureless white people!!!!!
