#my ex bsf wasnt white but she’s white passing! and she was friends with this girl who notoriously bullied me in 6th grade for being indian

[navyhyuck]

weakest link in the desi community

desis that refuse to acknowledge they’re desi, desi boys (or anyone desi? but it’s usually the guys :/) that say the n word, desis that are colorist, desi moms that coddle their sons and expect their daughters to be second mothers to their siblings, desis that tell other desis they aren’t desi if they don’t know hindi or some bollywood song, desis that let people use the white washed version of their name, desi boys that ‘would never’ date a desi girl because they’re proud of being desi and they’re insecure, etc etc

#i lived in a very white/pakistani community so everyone said my name in a white washed way 😁👍🏽 #my bsf still says it like that but tbh i don’t mind as long as someone white isn’t calling me like that #but pls tell me i’m not the only one who wanted to be white soooo bad as a kid #my ex bsf wasnt white but she’s white passing! and she was friends with this girl who notoriously bullied me in 6th grade for being indian #and she used to be like ‘oh i invited her…i know you don’t like her but i hope it’s fine’ #MF HER AND HER FAMILY ARE FUCKING RACIST ??? #sorry this took a turn but i went thru so much bullshit as a kid and i barely understood it #i had three prominent friends: one was hispanic (white passing) one was white (prob republican) and one was black #and ok i used to walk home with [black friend] every day after school and one day my white passing friend went (AS A JOKE) ‘oh do you guys #walk together all the time because you live near each other’ and obv we were like yes and she found that so funny and was like ‘so all the #dark people in [our town] live in the hills’ like wtf #context i lived in a small town and the rich white people lived in the flats while the poc lived in the hills which wasn’t necessarily bad #but it was like a very funny joke for them idk why like okay! good job for realizing you’re privileged!! #okay end rant very sorry #asks
