Cultural appropriation? That's a new one.

“Officials at the Universal Society of Hinduism have demanded an apology from Selena Gomez, 20, after the former Disney star performed at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday sporting a bindi symbol on her forehead.



“According to Hindu statesman, Rajan Zed, the bindi on the forehead is an ancient Hindu practice that has a religious significance sometimes referred to as ‘the third eye and flame’ and is not meant to be used as a fashion accessory.”

OK. No more crosses (Orthodox, Coptic or other Christian), no more feathers (Native AmericanIndian), Egyptian ankh and etc. etc.
