@Ghost said in RL things I love:
Diwali at work today. One of my favorite times of the year.
My Indian brothers and sisters bring out all the foods, the smells, the music, the dancing, and the fashion of India and my PurpleStateKnownForRacism office embraces the fuck out of it. I got a lot of cool people and cowboy as fuck execs walking around in Indian finery with their third eyes marked.
Diwali is such a cool holiday.
Follow up. Just listened to an Indian guy make "kind of" cultural appropriation jokes about white people wearing Indian garb (that was either sent from Indian employees to those specific employees or brought back from India as gifts).
By "kind of" I mean those jokes where someone says stuff like "hahaha you ruin everything JUST KIDDING HAHAHA you were adopted JustKidding"
Sigh. I hope this doesn't become a thing. Time will tell if the guy was just joking but the people on that conference call who got "kind of" joked at sure got off that call awkwardly.
