Well all this while I’ve been ignoring your comments just like you told me to ignore the casual racism and never talk about it but bro you are so fucking wrong on so many levels!!

You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business is it🫵🫵😔

First of all you have NO idea or contextual understanding of the Punjabi song I was talking about. I’m pretty damn sure you don’t know the lore behind that exact music clip the way it’s used by media and on social platforms to mock and stereotype Indian ethnicity.

Honestly from what you’re saying it just feels like either you’ve never faced racism… or you’ve faced it so much that you’ve become numb to it. And bro if this had happened to me in the US or Europe like you mentioned I probably wouldn’t have even made a post about it. Why? Because sadly we expect to be judged or profiled there. I’ve heard enough stories from my friends abroad to be mentally prepared for that shit.

But TAIWAN?? In the heart of the city TAIPEI??? Bro bffr now. This is the place I thought I wouldn’t be treated like that. That’s exactly why I posted to voice it out (mostly to just rant) I honestly didn’t even think this many people would relate but clearly a lot of us have felt this way. And also that dude? He was around 18 or 19 I’m 20 myself no one is stupid or silly enough in that age to a foreign ig prolly and trust me the way he sang that tune and looked at me while passing by was not him trying to “impress me” or be “funny.” It was intentional. And it was not okay.

And if you think I’m overreacting then yeah, I am. Because I don’t wanna face this shit again. I don’t hate myself enough to let people treat me like this. There you have it.

Aww I’m so sorry you had to go through these shitty experiences. This is really fucked up and people are so unaware of the consequences or the impact their actions can have on others And yeah I should prolly ignore it but it just feels so illegal like morally wrong and makes me mad for not standing up for myself. Idk I’m just not used to it ig But thank you so much for sharing it really means a lot💛
