@foodpanda_my this is appalling.
An Indian-themed commercial featuring our culture, yet not a single Indian person in sight? So tired of how local brands and the media continue to appropriate from marginalized communities yet ERASE us from mainstream content. pic.twitter.com/W3H25BzFDo

I don't really care about the cultural appropriation in that @foodpanda_my
advert.

What was odd though was the fact that there wasn't even a single Indian person in what looks to be a Diwali themed ad.

I've never seen people making Hari Raya ads without Malay people in them.

Not one single brown representation 😑 @foodpanda_my what kinda shit is this?! Culture so misrepresented with no representation and this is a Deepavali ad 🤦🏽‍♀️ Dissapointed in the star cast that features some of my favourite Malay artist 🤐 https://t.co/3yMs5tFlwE
