The yoga class felt strange, as if I had somehow gone there in a misguided attempt to connect with what I thought was a part of my identity. Instead, as the class went on, I felt like an imposter. When the 45 minutes were up, I eagerly tried to scuttle away when I heard the instructor say 'nam-aasss-tay'.
The word was familiar to me. I'm a Hindi speaking Hindu girl from Mumbai. Namaste is my way of greeting Hindi speaking elders in my hometown Melbourne or a way of saying hello to most people back in India. But hearing namaste chanted by the white yoga instructor to a predominantly white class was unsettling. Really? If the yoga class itself wasn't white-centric enough, she really had to place the appropriative cherry on top.

OK fine.
all of you non whites: Throw away your cell phones, automobiles, televisions, air conditioners,stereos, lightbulbs,microwaves, cameras,refrigerators, modern clothing, and cancel your cable tv, internet and electricity service.
and here, you can have your bendy-stretchy dirt people hobby and namaste back.

Also stop giving some sjw bitch views. Nobody in India gives a fuck about appropriation or whatever she is bitching about. Heck people would lose their minds if a white guy said namaste. They'd literally treat him like a best buddy :/.
I swear to God these second generation immigrants are the most insufferable of the lot. First gen wants to escape or seek a better life, they cling on to old values cus that's what they know, third gen is more of a local than an Indian but second generation is like a tranny, neither Indian nor western and fucked in the head, constantly looking for attention

The word was familiar to me. I'm an English speaking White man from the USA. Hello is my way of greeting fellow English speaking people in my hometown of Gary or a way of saying hello to most people living back in Europe. But hearing "hello" chanted by a black "teacher" to a predominantly black class was unsettling. Really? If the classroom wasn't black-centric enough, she really had to place the appropriative cherry on top.

The irony is lost on her.
