Just saw this picture of the popular slutwave artist Miley Cyrus wearing some sort of 'Hindu third eye red dot' kind of thing. I automatically assumed it was racist because she is a dumb tween and probably just does everything 2 be kewl, even if it offends people or if she has no direct/spiritual connection. Had to google 'red dot on forehead' and got a few wikipedia results.

Apparently it is either called a "bindi" or possibly a "Tilaka." Here is some woman vibing out, being sexie, but I think she is allowed to do it because she is actually from that part of the world.

Just looked up 'bindi' on wikipedia:

Bindis are worn throughout South Asia, specifically India, Bangladesh, Nepal,and Sri Lanka, by women and girls, and no longer signify age, marital status, religious background or ethnic affiliation.[2] The bindi has become a decorative item and is no longer restricted in colour or shape. Self-adhesive bindis (also known as sticker bindis) are available, usually made of felt or thin metal and adhesive on the other side. These are simple to apply, disposable substitutes for older tilak bindis. Sticker bindis come in many colors, designs, materials, and sizes. Some are decorated with sequins, glass beads, or rhinestones.
Outside South Asia, bindis are sometimes worn by women of Indian origin. Some Western women who have converted to Hinduism, such as in the Hare Krishnas, also wear bindis. Sometimes they are worn as a style statement. International celebrities such as Julia Roberts,[3] and many others have been seen wearing bindis.

Maybe Miley is trying to look 'enlightened', like she did some sort of summer program at Harvard / Yale / the University of Tween Superstars.

Are the 90s 'coming back' [via Gwen Stefani punk rocker]?

Bindis were a trend for teenage girls in the U.S. during the mid 1990's. Gwen Stefani, of the band No Doubt, popularized bindis as well as mehndi on the hands.

Yall... How can I be mad? She's just bein' Miley. She can do whatever the eff she wants. <3 tweens blossoming in2 women <3

U know the old saying...
'U can never say No 2 a slutwaver.'

Is Miley Racist?
Do u h8 when cultural trends from a diff part of the world become part of American pop culture?
Do u think she should just wear a lil bikini around like Lady Gaga?
Do u h8 when white women adopt foreign trends for the sake of branding themselves as 'spiritual' + 'cultured'?
