~this shit is racist~

omg

wow @ trying to defend their racism with “you got a problem with that?” SMH.

There is more when you click on the source: 


What does the article, that seeks to tell the recent history of India, inadvertently tell us? That exotification of countries far, far away still exists and while ALL three of those cover stories deal with technological advancements and the emergence of a strong work force, the covers only have one thing in common: Exotic-looking “Indian” women representing as many parts of the culture as possible, never mind the fact that they have nothing to do with the stories.
This just proves white supremacy in a sense: No matter what you do and what you achieve, you will always be seen as that brown person with pretty Henna on your hand, big eyes, and wearing dancing attire in a call-center (because, you know, that shit always happens). Brown people still are not seen for what they achieve and what they contribute to this world, but rather for how they are different than white people. 

We are still the “other”.
