I see so many posts about cultural appropriation and white privilege
And, yet, no one ever mentions that ear and nose gauging (you know, that really popular thing that so many fucking people just love to post pictures of because it’s now our definition of beauty) is essentially white people stealing an indigenous and ritualistic practice for selfish aesthetic reasons.
Because then we’d all just look like hypocrites, wouldn’t we?
