Indian People - Tumblr Posts

God forbid you people portray Indian people as queer, God forbid you show them as disabled, God forbid you show them without an accent to mock every five minutes, God forbid you portray them as something else other than a doctor, engineer, scientist or some mathematic genius, God forbid you depict Indian culture beyond cow piss-drinking, smell curry eating, demonic rituals, God forbid you portray Indian People as human.

So since I apparently have followers now despite making one (1) post ever lol folks imma ghost imma poltergeist and theres no exorcising me now

anyways I have a question. So, I do ceramics, yes like pottery, yes like bowls and plates and stuff, yes like the glaze your own ceramic unicorn/moon/dragon stores except unlike those of you who’ve visited those stores after the age of 15 I am not a coward and make my own shit.

But ANYWAYS I made a pot that looks kind of like the one in the background of

THIS \/ photo

So I personally am not a person of color unless italian counts i think emphasis on think I have not studied my family history extensively.

but I was going to try making a lid for that pot that would be shaped and look like a cobra that had risen from a coil and was ready to strike. I was going to call it snake charmer.

BUT THEN I had the thought ‘is that name racist’ ‘ is that a stereotype?!’ ‘is the idea of a ”snake charmer” a negative stereotype’ ‘would this be super racist to name something’

so please help me out here I have no idea if i should

— a) scrap the lid idea and go with like an octopus or something

— b) try my best (very possibly will fail)

so tell me how you feel about the idea folks I don’t want to offend people I’ve got nothing against.
