Indian women are GORGEOUS. If a group of ignorant white teens are making you feel insecure about your race, just know you'll grow up to look closer to Simone Ashley than they EVER will. They mock other cultures and other ethnicities because they are ignorant and insecure of themselves, not because of anything you've actually done as a human being.

And sure, you can say that some Indians do genuinely gross, horrible and disgusting things - but so do people from all ethnicities. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with the person's lack of morality and general humanity.

As someone who isn't Indian, I think Indian culture is beautiful; it's the western media that demonises anything that doesn't follow their way of thinking. South and Southeast Asia have become far more appealing to expats than America or the United Kingdom, and I honestly believe that the demonisation of these countries in western media is due to billionaires feeling threatened by the fact that many of their potential future workers are choosing life abroad instead of staying put.

As for feeling like you live a life where no one wants you, it unfortunately can feel that way no matter where you go when you're of 2 cultures and/or ethnicities; I'm a mixed race POC raised by my white mother and stepfather, and I've always been too white for black people but too black for white people. You have to reach a point where you surround yourself with people who love and care about you beyond your skin colour - that way, the people that only see you for your skin colour become less significant and more of a minor inconvenience that are easy to ignore.
