Mumbai under siege

Stir the pot, moi?

No, I was simply going to try and get as tan as I would normally do during the summer. But the slant-eyes thing gave me pause.

And so I was merely wondering if a thing I do for purely cosmetic purposes in summertime is inappropriate if I do the exact same thing for the cosmetic purposes of a costume.

I had never before considered the "mockery" aspect of costumes or events that relate to a real culture. I don't happen to think there is any on my part, but it did lead to a reexamination of ideas. Stirring my own pot, so to speak.
