Too much. So all those years of Baptist fundamentalists telling us Yoga was “of the devil” were ignored, but some anti-western victims claim Yoga oppresses them and we cancel it. Priceless.

Nuts.
I haven’t got much good to say for yoga, but this is psychotic.

Hey Nikhil, why don’t you levitate yourself all the way back to India?

We don’t have to curry favor with those who favor curry.

In a sane world this would be called insanity.

I remember back in 1986 an electrical engineering doctoral candidate wrote and article to the Auburn Plainsman that “football was the opiate of the masses.” People are always saying weird crap...

Whining that the dominant culture has taken too much of a liking to “the other”.

In America even our immigrant subcultures have first world problems.

So appreciating other cultures is plundering?
Nothing was removed from Asian cultures as far as I can tell.

Apparently, everything white people are doing is wrong.
Ignoring, embracing or disparaging other customs doesn't matter, it's all wrong and racist no matter what.

Tell you what Nikhil, you stop expropriating Western culture by using phones, planes, cars, computers, modern medicine, etc. and you can have your Yoga back.

I’d bet this “savage” puts ketchup on a hotdog, butchering outstanding home grown American traditions.

One-sided plundering of a culture is not “exchange.”"White people are practically savages," he continues, "abusing other cultures for their own gain."

Hey Nikhil, why are you writing in English? Why don't you write in Hindi, instead of culturally appropriating our language? You're practically a savage, plundering a culture for your college degree while stealing its very words to curse the people who made your education possible.

Funny. I work with a gal who was born and raised in India and is Hindu, although she doesn’t seem particularly religious.

She has some lower back issues and decided to take after work yoga classes held at a local church along with a couple of her Christian co-worker friends. I very much doubt this yoga class was part of her or her co-workers “a spiritual and meditative practice” but just something to improve core strength and flexibility.

She’s also our benefits manager and developed our “Wellness” program. One of the things she did in that program was start a “walking for wellness” contest and bring in a massage therapist quarterly to do 15 chair massages with the cost subsidized by the company. She also tried to expand our gym membership reimbursement program to include things like yoga and Zumba classes and other classes related to developing physical fitness like golf lessons (yea, and golf BTW is a plundering of Scottish culture doncha know. If you ain’t a Scot, get off the golf course. / s). Management didn’t approve the expansion due to the costs but it was IMO, a good idea.

White people are practically savages, he continues, abusing other cultures for their own gain.

And non-whites have plundered scientific rationalism and Marxism from the white west for decades. What . . . Origin of Species was written by an "indigenous" person???

Nikhil is just mad because he got stuck in one of the advanced asanas.
