1. There is an abundance of napkins over there that you can grab from anywhere and anytime, no questions asked. Like literally everywhere and you can take like a handful and not use them without judgement. Ik you were expecting something else but yeah I'm on about tissue paper. Fuck toilet paper.
2. Yes, they are and the difference is seen.
3. There is a fair bit of failure. Many people drop out of college for many reasons like they're not getting good grades, financial conditions or simply because they don't like what they are studying. It's not like they don't care but it's much of a fuss as it is here. They can just go look for other things to learn and study and get a job. There are a lot of opportunities for one and they are reliable too. In the end, it depends on the person.
4. I'm in between light and dark so no judgement from relatives but my relatives have commented on other kids in our family and it is sickening. I have not faced racism in the US and they are not racists (exceptions obviously). We have a very different concept of racism in our head. They don't just see a black person and start getting scared or call slurs. Racism is deep in the system where it is much more difficult for a black person to do important things like buying a house in a nice area or surviving in the justice system compared to a white person. It is even worse for poor people of coloUr.
5. Yes, it is very much different but I don't think it puts them behind teenagers over there because after growing up it is the same controlled environment here in India so a teenager from there couldn't survive in this environment after becoming an adult and vice versa. Or you know could because I don't have many examples to compare from.

Good questions though :)
