Playing up ethnicity

Indian Dancer in North Boston

I’m an Indian dancer. One of my nights, I wore a sheer sari sarong draped over a bikini as my outfit. Another dancer asked me if other Indians or customers would find it offensive. I don’t think so. Appropriation won’t be an issue since I’m Indian. Sari is cultural rather than religious. It’s no different from a Scottish kilt. I just wouldn’t dress up like an Indian goddess, wear religious accessories or certain colors, or go over the top.
What do customers think? Would you find it attractive? Interesting? Weird?
I get asked a lot about my ethnicity or hearing that I’m the first Indian dancer they’ve seen. So why not?
Got something to say?
