#couldn’t tell you about the nails but I know gold jewelry is also culturally relevant to certain south Asian cultures specifically

The thing about racism is that it’s so deeply rooted that even the most mundane ridiculous things can be racially coded. And what pisses me off is that when one aspect is proven after so much pushback and degradation from white ppl, the next aspect will receive that same amount of vitriol. Not a single “hmm. Maybe if I was wrong before due to lack of cultural context I could be wrong again. Due to lack of cultural context.” Like it took years for y’all to realize long nails are associated with black and Hispanic ppl but NOW we’re doing too much by “gatekeeping” gold jewelry? Ok man just suck my dick atp

#specified black and Hispanic bc those are the communities I’m part of and know most about #couldn’t tell you about the nails but I know gold jewelry is also culturally relevant to certain south Asian cultures specifically #but I’m not gonna speak on it bc idk #if u are tho and feel comfortable please feel free to add on #but like back to the post it’s so fucking irritating because it’s like #y’all don’t fucking learn from ur actions #we have to start from square one EVERY time #everything is just circumstance for you when we’ve known of these patterns since we could talk #like maybe if u were wrong about Chile ur also wrong about slay. #if you don’t know how to say goofy ahh maybe u don’t know how to say gyat #can we use our Fucking brains please
