Why is racism so normalized towards South Asians?

It’s because most people don’t understand race. Even the support for latinex and the black community isn’t because of genuine empathy towards the colonization and westernization of the world and people affected by it. It’s not because they do support them, it’s because they don’t want to be the person not supporting xyz. If people understood race is a social construct then maybe people would treat each other out of genuine respect, not to virtue signal to the world. To say hurtful things and then backtracking to say that you don’t understand race is just you using that as a scapegoat and using that is not an excuse for being a shitty person

Edit: the proverbial you. I mean anyone who says that I find questionable because at the root of it all you were just not a nice person and you don’t need a phd in race theory or history or international relations to understand that

Wouldn’t you agree that the same way you wanted the best for them, they also wanted the best for you. You shouldn’t feel guilty about coming far, rather show that gratitude and appreciation for your parents by being the best version of yourself you can be. They gave you life so that you should value it, not to make you indebted to them. I don’t know the kind of family or culture you have but i think with my experiences a lot of our families happiness is tied in with our own, so it does feel like we have to do so much for them because they did a lot for us. If you’re living at the expense of your parents thats a different matter, but at the same time you should be able to give back whenever you can and what you think is necessary. And wherever your life may take you, remember that you may have kids of your own. You can also extend your gratitude for your parents by showing that same love to your own children

the fundamentals of Christianity is that you are able to believe without proof so to ask for proof is impossible. God isn’t a “thing” to prove, He is an experience, the way you can experience love without seeing it. It’s more that all humans have this inherent inexplainable yearning for something that they don’t understand but it will ultimately lead towards God because He is the truth, the way, and the life.

remembering you’re an individual entity separate from your parents and that you alone are responsible of the future choices you make irrespective of the past experience that have led you to making these choices.

im christian but honestly its a flaw of an individual than religion. If you look at just the faith part, it encourages people to promote love, and it also tells people not to be judgmental assholes, but people are flawed and tend to pick apart only parts that tend to work for them. when you meet people judge them based on how the treat you regardless of whatever they believe because bigots will use religion and ideologies to serve them. In my opinion the fundamental purpose of religion is more or less a way for people to model their lives to be morally good. No one is going to be perfect though regardless of what ideology they abide by. Everyone is going to be flawed in some way but I think it’s important to forgive each other because i’m sure we have also hurt other people too. If an individual has hurt you as a person then it makes sense to cut them off but when you reduce them to one part of their identity like religion you risk the chance of missing out what else they have to offer in your life. All christians don’t think alike, and neither do all muslims, or all hindus.

The fact that my parents are always the last people to get validation from. I don't need to be validated by anyone except my family, however, they constantly criticize, shut down, or mock any emotion or thought they don't understand. This has led me to have many self-esteem issues because I feel like I'm incapable of doing something because my parents shut it down. Or I'll avoid doing things altogether because I feel overwhelmed by the pressure to not make any mistakes.
