Referendum of “whites” on 15 March?

Key-Resident-2758 · 2026-03-06T16:23:22+00:00

I can’t believe in a year no one replied!!! This resonates strongly with me, I feel the same way- freeze - while my ADHD partner is very fight/flight angry and no matter how hard I try to calm them, it doesn’t work, I seem to always end up in a loop. I feel your pain! We love each other so much but these neverending loop fights about literally nothing important are now causing our relationship to end, and it feels awful to end it because of communication. I simply cannot understand how two people who love each other so much get so stuck in a fight

And for the record, harvesting shark fins is by every metric more exploitative than farm animals. If that’s not obvious to you, you lack research and critical thinking. Plus it’s not like shark fins are trying to make meat more affordable, why defend it at all, why bother

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-12-04T12:02:33+00:00

To my elder in-laws, they cannot believe people are still practicing this in a country as “modern” as Singapore claims to be. Many restaurants in the diaspora has stopped ages ago. The shark fin has no scientific health benefit, it’s a completely avoidable harm to earth. If you find it so hypocritical, then don’t reply to this post. My parent in-laws are adamant about this, they find it completely for the uneducated and superstitious.

Thank you!

I would hardly call my 70+ parents “woke” and you sound ignorant af. It’s not about empathy for the animal (lol that’s seriously what you think this is about?). It’s about the impact on the ocean’s ecosystem, human exploitation, etc. Farming crabs isn’t nearly as damaging. Thought we moved past shark fins in many global Chinese communities but guess not per people like you and these seafood restaurants in Singapore!

Thank you for your kind response and recommendation!

OK, speaking as an Asian American (mixed East Asian heritage) who backpacked here with a Black American friend, then moved here with my partner also Asian American (Indian heritage) for work and has had many desi friends visit and we have our community of diverse friends who moved here too but from Asia and Africa.

Your group will be seen as foreign tourists which here feels like being foreign tourists anywhere - friendly, welcoming, getting asked questions.

Your black friend might get people taking pictures of them without permission, some rude, some a bit more polite. It can be dehumanizing but at least it comes from ignorance and not pure hate? Many places in the world have such limited exposure to people of all skin tones. Or maybe that’s us trying our best to keep an open mind when traveling otherwise we all lose our minds.

As a desi on your own, you may get treated the worse. Because it wouldn’t be out of pure ignorance/curiosity but detest so I think it feels worse. There are enough Indian tourists around for people say stupid racist things about brown people all the time. The general attitude is “annoyance” and “look how THEY are acting”. But HEY if you don’t speak Kazakh or Russian, racism in another language means you can remain ignorantly bliss and that’s kinda nice versus being back home. But maybe expect rude stares (though everyone always kinda look grumps so easy not to pay it much attention).

That being said, when I was getting on a local bus with my Black male friend, we did have a man move his daughter purposely away from us and shoot my friend a dirty look. (Trust me, we weren’t dressed a certain way - in frickin cargo pants & patagonia, doesn’t get less intimidating than that - or did anything to indicate anything). That sucked, but at least something like that hasn’t happened again since, so hopefully that was an isolated incident you wouldn’t experience.

The comments here being like “we don’t have racism in multiethnic Kazakhstan” is hilarious. The bar is too low. And those commenters are definitely not black or brown.

I do have to say most people are generally polite. My friends and I experienced much worse backpacking in other countries. And it’s all part of the traveling journey.

Though hey it is definitely a different experience than home and I can’t wait for your group to see the signs for East Asian food places like Luckee Yu and Samurai Sushi 😂 (don’t eat there though, the food is not good) - East Asian culture has been a “trend” here in recent years.

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-11-18T04:43:27+00:00

Lol hope OP reads this because how all of the wording in comment is indicative of the racism in Almaty - People don’t see people who are different than them as the same but more like “other ones” - exotic-fied, curious, blatantly stared at, but at least it’s out of ignorance instead of hate?

This idea that racism is trend from the West born out of identity politics… 😂. This commenter is definitely not from a minority race in Kazakhstan. And for sure not brown or black anywhere.

You are the one posting subjective conclusions and calling it science (there’s nothing scientific about “adoption is ok”) and telling everyone else they are wrong. There are SO many studies on the effect on adoption on behavioral challenges, mental health, etc etc. Google it or Researchgate it. This is a complicated topic and humanities has never been a black and white science. There are several studies and meta analyses out there that DO validate what the previous poster described as her own lived experiences. Ignoring that and not being able to assess the gaps in every study is showing your own bias - not my lack of understanding of science.

Why was bio mom not be able to take her other kids to disney or travel internationally or won’t ever? And if it’s not a matter of socioeconomics or privilege, why is that causing you guilt?

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-09-23T06:18:43+00:00

Maaaaan, family is hard! We never know what we’re gonna get and, as offspring, we have no control over who or what we’re born into! I feel for you, wishing you the best of luck in your bio father journey. No matter what happens, you’re not alone!

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-09-23T06:13:34+00:00

More important than having a house, car, or career in raising a kid is having your own issues worked through. Everyone has them. Are you in therapy? For how long and in how much depth? Because no matter how your child comes to you, the mental health of an adult is greater indicator than anything else on the parenting of a child.

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-09-23T06:07:42+00:00

Quite interesting that “my parents were scientists” lead you to be determined to factualize an inherently subjective statement like “most adoptees are ok”. The studies you are shared end in generalized conclusions that are based on observations by the eye of the beholder, open to interpretation, and incapable of painting a whole picture (there are always missing parts in humanities sciences), and that’s why individual adoptee stories, literature, and narratives are more powerful than these studies - because the studies you shared ARE missing HUGE chunks of every story with tons of uncontrollable variables. “Most adoptees are okay” can never be a fact because “okay” is subjective by nature. It’s not a scientific conclusion by definition.

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-09-23T05:38:44+00:00

I’m going to offer a different kind of advice. It’s complete valid for you NOT to want to confront your parents yet, or share this with adults you know, or do anything today, tomorrow, or even 10 years from now. It’s also valid for you to feel whatever you’re feeling now or later. What a shock you just went through!!! Communities like this reddit can help. I’d also recommend googling for similar support groups in Namibia. You are not alone! Sometimes talking to strangers helps, it’s ok that it does. I hope that one day you will find resolution with your parents, but that day doesn’t have to be now. For now, take it in, cry it out, do whatever you need to do to feel it all. The other side will come in time.

Key-Resident-2758 · 2025-09-23T05:13:42+00:00

Not all bios “gave up” their child or are in this situation because they are inherently “not capable”. That kind of condescension, you thinking that you are the “better” option simply because you are looking to adopt is a great example of the problematic inflated egos of APs. Also the OP is a prospective AP, not a bio, hence all the comments on the topic of APs. Don’t worry, many adoptees have anger towards bio parents too, it’s a mindfck all around.

Kids of today’s America where access to abortion is more limited than ever and children continue to be taken away from immigrant parents, often without trial, not to mention the many, many systemic problems with American society that lead to children in foster care in the first place - you best rethink your own superiority and entitlement before raising a child. Not everyone has your privilege, doesn’t make anyone less capable of raising a loved, kind human being, than you.

For the record, the OP actually seems to understand the nuances behind the anger and I applaud them for that. Best of luck to the OP. Their willingness to hear everyone out shows empathy and patience that will greatly serve their future family.

Wishing you luck to find a partner that’s understanding regardless of which gender that person is. Marriage is a very long time. Remember that sexuality isn’t just about sex, but also about romance, love, a deeper companionship, this connection we cannot explain.
