i agree with the anon, that even as south asian ive never seen issues with people piercing their nose or wearing south aisan cloths be it whites or others. its not frowned upon as much coz history isnt the same for appropriation. the american south asians have had bigger issues with song like coldplay hymns for the weekend for adding the culture while us locals had no issues

Thank you for your insight. That's what I've been gathering so far.
