In regards to Cardi B’s magazine cover shoot, this is an explanation as to why it is offensive and disrespectful

a thread:

Hinduism is one of the most ancient and sacred religions in the entire world. Durga is a goddess that we worship with the utmost respect. She is a symbol of power, hope, and for the fight against all that is evil in this world.

Cardi B using my religion as a way to promote something and trying to cover it up as a “homage” is disgusting. What she is doing is cultural appropriation and there is no one that can tell me otherwise. The fact that Cardi thinks that she compares to or even has any remote

similarity to our goddess makes me sick. Also, Cardi is holding a shoe in her picture. In hinduism, wearing shoes near idols of our gods or into temples is considered disrespectful, so Cardi is completely oblivious, but she thinks that she is some super amazing person for this.

Don’t tell me i’m being soft, if this happened to any other religion/culture, there would be a huge outrage. Racism towards us and the mockery of Indians and Hinduism is way too normalized in our society and it isn’t right.

RT’s are appreciated because this is a message that needs to be spread
