Personal accounts
“In school we used to be bullied when we wore our bengali culture clothes , would smell like curry, for black hair, darker skin and accents . Treated like somehow we didnt belong . Now here we are people taking our fashion , clothes etc and selling them out as if they created it in the first place. Always talking about exotic looks etc . ”
