Feedback for Cultural Appropriation of Indian Culture

Feedback for Cultural Appropriation of Indian Culture

Nice work on your page, I really loved the examples! You could even include a few more examples of celebrities such as Vanessa Hudgens and Beyonce who have been spotted wearing henna. I would like to know if there are appropriate times for caucasians or non-Indians to wear or take part in Indian culture. I would appreciate you adding some detail on this. If you would like a more local example, I used to work at the Vancouver restaurant East is East ´. They encouraged all of their employees to wear bindis despite most of the servers being of East Asian or Caucasian descent. East is East is owned by Afghani-Canadians, so would this be cultural appropriation?

As for your sections, they are a little small after the examples. It would be great if you could elaborate on the impact of cultural appropriation specific to Indian culture, and the effect or reason that the movements against cultural appropriation have been created. Also, in the Mehndi/Henna section, there is a typo: I assume “bridge” is supposed to be “bride” (line 6)

Overall, this is really well done and I can’t wait to read the finished product! (Hanna P. 27409144)
