There is a paragraph in the reading by Desis Reprazent that I am curious to see how everyone is responding to. The paragraph is the second full paragraph on page 361 starting with "The Gendered edge of this popular culture is laced..." So I was just thinking about how the particular culture is defining gender roles, how the members are responding to these definitions, and how or if it changes between races? There is a particular sentence I'd like to discuss, "Fantasies of sexual purity and fears of polluting seductiveness are part of a larger ideology of ethnic authenticity at work in this popular culture are linked to a larger moral and political discourse about ‘pure’ tradition and ‘corrupted’ hybridity." As well, I was thinking about how the article is talking about race relations within the subculuture and how everyone is responding to that?
Also, take a look at this video its a Bhangra music video featuring Bally Sagoo who is mentioned in the article and tell me what you think. And then the second one as well is a little different.
