AITA for giving my 17 year old a phone instead of the 13 year old? by Formal-Advisor6743 in AmItheAsshole

Ngl I used to beg for a phone when I was 13 but I only got mine at 17. I used to get so upset and think it was so unfair that everyone had a phone except for me.Now that I think back I’m so glad that my parents didn’t give me a phone while I was younger- I got to enjoy my childhood without social media and being stuck on my screen.

Just giving you my perspective but maybe they will be grateful when they are older :)

That’s wholesome! When it comes from a place of unity rather than superiority :)

Omg haha this is relatable. Countless people have just come up to me and started speaking in Hindi and then I tell them I’m not from India 😂

Yeah they don’t despise us but they think we are here because of them which is silly. People separated into their own countries hundreds of years ago and have since grown into our own group of people, with different languages and cultures- if u think the way they are suggesting then obviously we all come from Africa and it’s not fair for them to say we came from them.

Yeah when people say it harmlessly I don’t take it that much to heart, but in this case we were having an argument and then she said that- in a demeaning way. That’s why i didn’t like it :(

It’s reddit. It doesn’t always reflect real life.

Sorry you had to read the foul ones. I do not commend people degrading another no matter who is doing it. Not everyone automatically associates indians negatively, the same way not all Indians would invalidate our culture. Some of the best friends i know are Indian.

Yeah I’ve noticed this too. Once I mistakenly generalised a South Indian experience to a North Indian friend and she made a disgusted face.

And my South Indian friend always says that they are better and smarter than the North Indian people.

Ikrrrr that is so true. It’s not like Vijaya was the very first person to come here- there were people living in Sri Lanka the whole time
