Why is it hard for Americans to acknowledge that Yoga has Hindu roots?

I'm curious what people think about this. It's frankly dispiriting and shocking that there seems to be so much violent opposition from the yoga community to simply acknowledging that Yoga has roots in Hindu spirituality.

Why so much ignorance, hate, and closed-mindedness? It's not like Hindus are asking you to stop practicing #yoga or give up your livelihood. Just give credit where credit is due. Otherwise, it's intellectual theft and cultural appropriation.

What a sad legacy of colonialism merrily carrying on into 2021.

I wish more people would speak up about this.
