Get to know me #8 - Why I wear 'cultural' clothing After my debacle with BindiSwag last week, I taped this video in sheer anger at the stupidity of some white women to completely ignore their privilege. I *do* wear 'cultural' clothing but I do in the understanding that I *love* their cultures and that they are BEAUTIFUL, much more than my white ass can ever do justice to! I would be a hypocrite if I told women not to wear a particular type of clothing, but what I will say is that if you do check your privilege

This dumb bindiswag racist bitch must love pissing people off for attention.

I can just imagine her white cracka self cackling away posting these pictures of ridiculous white bitches appropriating Indian culture.

Then she actually has the nerve to call people criticizing her as "racist"?

Apparently someone need an edumacation on the basic definitions of what racism entails because she is obviously completely clueless lol.

Her and the white crackas she posts are flat out making a mockery of another's culture.

I know Indian girls that avoid getting their nose pierced now because these fking bitches made it associated with punk rock shit.

What Does the Bindi Signify?

For a foreigner, a bindi could mean nothing. It might at the most seem to be another jewelery to enhance the beauty of the Indian woman. But did you know that even men in India wear 'tilak' on their foreheads just like women wear bindi? A bindi signifies different aspects for different individuals. Westeners could be wrong in their assumption on the significance of a bindi but sadly, not many Indians themselves know what a bindi really stands for. This is a result of following traditions blindly without knowing their actual meaning.

It is common assumption that a bindi is a mark of the married women. True, married Hindu women wear the 'red dot' or the bindi on their forehead. But, not just married women but even young girls and widows wear a bindi in India. So, what does their bindi or the 'dot' mean?

A married woman's red bindi indicates 'marriage.' Widows in India do not wear bindi normally. But they are allowed to wear a black bindi in Southern India. Their black bindi indicates their loss. However, young girls are free to wear bindi of any color. So, what does a colorful bindi mean?

Some might argue bindi is a mark of a Hindu. But, most modern Hindu women do not wear a bindi with western clothes. Does this make them any lesser Hindu?

No.

A 'bindi' on a woman's forehead or a 'tilak' on a man's forehead, in India, signifies the individual's spiritual eye. This spiritual eye is also called the 'third eye.'

This third eye in Hindus is used for spiritual sight. Through the third eye, Hindus believe to see all that, which cannot be seen through the two physical eyes.

The bindi stands for this third eye and also protects it. A bindi reminds the Hindus of the third eye or the spiritual eye and also helps them to cultivate spiritual vision.

The area between the eyebrows, the sixth chakra known as the 'agna' meaning 'command', is the seat of concealed wisdom. It is the centre point wherein all experience is gathered in total concentration. According to the tantric cult, when during meditation the latent energy ('kundalini') rises from the base of the spine towards the head, this 'agna' is the probable outlet for this potent energy. The red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. It is also the central point of the base of the creation itself — symbolizing auspiciousness and good fortune.

The Hindu saints constantly meditate by focusing their energies towards the spiritual eye. It is believed that when the individual's spiritual eye opens, is when he attains true enlightenment and gets closer to God. This kind of meditation, in which, energies are directed towards the third eye is not easy. This needs practice and an ordinary individual cannot concentrate for more than 2 minutes.

Conclusion: If you wear the bindi but you don't believe in what the bindi signifies, then you're just mocking an entire culture/religion.
