    Americans who practice yoga 'contribute to white supremacy', claims Michigan State University professor

    http://www.independent.co.uk/new…

    "White Americans who practice yoga are perpetuating the “continuation of white supremacy and colonialism”, a Michigan State University professor has claimed.

    Religious studies professor Shreena Gandhi argued yoga has “flourished” in the US from the “cultural void of white society, intimately mixed with white supremacy, capitalism, and globalisation”."

    • Ironically, nazis and racists are the least likely to do yogadrgs
    • I wonder if Nazi Yoga is a legit thing - like, giving the poses super fucked-up names. The Swastika, The Long Knife, Goebels' Spine Extension, The Zyklon Arch.face_melter
    • Nazis aren’t even a legit thing. The Nazi party doesn’t exist. Anyone who says they are a Nazi is just a dumbfuck racist. Nothing more.monospaced
    • y'all are focused on the wrong thing.
