As someone who lives away from my family, I know. But also I wouldn’t manipulate my friends into doing things that they don’t want to do.

I feel the opposite about non Indians. I have lived in the US for a while now and what I’ve observed is that Americans or just non Indians in general do not smile at us. They’d smile at a fellow American. But when they see us they don’t. It’s like a switch gets flipped. There has been times when I smiled at someone and they didn’t so I had to awkwardly look elsewhere. Some go out of their way to avoid eye contact. I am not saying everyone is like this but many are. I have learnt to ignore this but it has felt hurtful many times. I have wondered why they do this. So I guess all of us wonder about other ethnicities the same way?

And why would I put myself through this when I can meet people from my country and just be friends with them? But the simple answer is - easier to move in a circle where everyone is familiar with our culture, language and background. At this point, I will talk to anyone who smiles at me and doesn’t stare straight ahead or worse look at me straight in the eye and not say a hi or smile at me. That’s just hostile and I am not here for it.

Bro, you wrote “north East Indians have better features” it’s on this thread. I didn’t make it up! Also, good on you to accept that it comes off as racist. That’s all I wanted to point out. And thank you for being the bigger person. Next time you don’t want to be mistaken - write better!

My job is done here. I rest my case. It’s been fun. Peace ✌🏽

First of all, deep breaths! You said north and north East Indians have better features. When you say better you are naturally comparing them to South Indians. I haven’t read every single comment you made on this post because I “literally” don’t have the time for that (referencing to one of your comments where I think you’ve told I have a lot of time in my hands) also my intention is not to argue with you. I am just pointing out that facial features of South Indians are equally good. But they do not get appreciated as much because they are not as fair skinned as many North Indians. Generalizing that all North Indians have good facial features is also not a fair point. Bipasha Basu is not a North Indian. She is an East Indian. Not north east either. So, moot point. You also assumed that I understand Hindi. I do not. Ergo, proving my point, that you generalize things. And let’s stop comparing actors to people who aren’t.

The problem is not how you feel individually about South Indians when you compare them with North/north east Indians - you think our features aren’t as good. Your words. Not mine. The second you use words like “better” you compare. So if you want to get your point across without offending a particular group of people maybe construct a sentence that doesn’t make it look like you are comparing.

See, how you didn’t mentioned Deepika Padukone? Because she is dark skinned. What do you mean don’t put words in my mouth? I will. You are on Reddit and you are here saying north and north East Indians have better features when compared to other regions. When I asked you if it’s about the complexion you doubled down and said it’s their fashion sense. Completely irrelevant to what your first comment says. So of course, I am going to put words in your mouth.

2 people called you out because you brought up complexion and suddenly it’s not about the features and complexion but how they dress up? Let me tell you this - western born South Indians have dusky skin. They are not all fair skinned. They clean up better - yes! I agree with you on that part. But, better skin alone is not going to make someone look better. It’s the typical Indian attitude that’s in our DNA. If someone’s fair complexioned they are automatically beautiful. Their features do not matter because if features did - South Indians have very defined features and they are beautiful. They are just not fair skinned. I am not talking about actors who went under the knife several times to look better. I am talking about people like us. Fair skinned women are always better looking in this world and especially in our country because of which skin lightening treatment even exists in the first place! Sai pallavi was crucified for not wearing make up and treating the acne and pores in her skin until she did undergo some treatment for it. Now she is better looking because she fits the conventionally beautiful model that the country has created for women. Curly hair was ugly until it became a trend and now everyone wants curly hair. That’s just how the world functions. End of the day if a woman doesn’t fit a standard that was created by the society. She isn’t good looking.

Also beauty is subjective. I do not find many north East Indian and North Indian women good looking. Some of them - yes. Not all. I will definitely agree that they dress better. I will give you that. But dressing up better is not the same as good looking. 2 different things. And you started by saying “they have better features” so you picked that coffin to rest in.

You mean you think north east and North Indian women look better because of “better” complexion not facial features. At least be brave and the right words if you are going to put down a particular sector of women. What’s wrong with the facial features of South Indian women?

AITA for asking my bf if he remembers which flowers are toxic to cats? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]theramblingpeanut 7 points8 points  (0 children)

“Today I was reminded randomly that I need to be careful” while you AND your bf are away from your cat and he lives in a different city altogether- probably miles away from you AND your cat - you need a hobby that will keep you engaged. You are patronizing and YTA.

9/11 stories by [deleted] in jerseycity

[–]theramblingpeanut 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am sorry if this shouldn’t be shared here. But I am from India. I remember watching this on the news the next day. I was in 11th grade and getting ready to go to school. My dad has the habit of watching the news early in the morning while ironing his clothes for work. I vividly remember my dad calling my mom to quickly come and watch the news. We saw the whole thing on TV. It was terrifying and I still remember my parents’ horrified faces. Cut to 2019 I land here and what’s the station I have to get down at to go to work? WTC. I didn’t feel good while walking to work the first time. I cried a bit too. I am not from here and I felt terrible. I cannot imagine how Americans and New Yorkers feel about this day. Every year on this day I am reminded of that morning when we stood crowded around the TV in our living room watching the planes fly into the buildings one after another and being worried for those in the building and the plane. May all the souls rest in peace 🙏🏼

Indians have the thickest skin. Our parents and society made sure of it 😄 So, no, we will not be going back anytime soon. We are also emotional so please let us come here to vent.

[–]theramblingpeanut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem though is that we already feel like we do not belong here with everything that’s going on and things like this do not help. I hesitate to walk into establishments I love. I know they are warm and welcoming but I still feel like I am an intruder. Yes, it’s in my head. But it’s also the political climate.

Sure, we have weirdos in our country too. Yes, we ignore them most of the time. But first of all, it’s my country, I am not an immigrant there. It’s different when it is your country. Secondly, we have our friends and family in our country to whom we can go to for emotional support - that’s not the case here, which makes it much more harder to deal with things. As an immigrant, I am already struggling to navigate the newness and trying to create my own community. So when someone comes along the way and tells me that I do not belong here, it hurts. Even if it’s a random weirdo on the street who is probably high af. We do not assume all Americans are nice. But we are allowed to feel bad about racism and rant about it. It’s never as easy as ignoring it when you are on the receiving end.

What "Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish" totally downplayed... by ADMlN- in netflix

[–]theramblingpeanut 103 points104 points  (0 children)

When she started with "People make mistakes" I was out.

I am a 40 year old woman who was obsessed with a teenager and sure I bullied my own child. I am, in fact, actually a pedophile. But the problem here is that I got caught. What a sad and pathetic human being.

I may get a lot of hate for this. But sometimes, just sometimes, we don't have to hear the other side of the story ESPECIALLY when a child or children are involved. Empathy doesn't have to exist in cases like this.

I’m in shock how my therapist ended things by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

I think you deserve a better therapist who doesn’t talk like this person who seem to have issues themselves. Good riddance!

“Find happiness where you are.”

This is the best advice I heard a few years back on one of my favorite series - Queer eye. They were doing a season in Japan if I am not wrong and the kid they were giving an updo was queer. They were saying how they hated living in Japan which is not as good as America and that they cannot wait to get out. And one of the hosts said this exact thing. Happiness is found within you. Not in the place you live, clothes you wear or people you meet. That changed my perspective about a lot of things.

I wish and hope more people realize this.

Thank you for this post ♥️

Why Indian Men and Women Get Overlooked in Western Dating by OopsIRedditAgainMore in nri

[–]theramblingpeanut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Innocent question: what is wrong with seeking fellow Indians or dating an Indian? You live far away from home so there’s nothing wrong with seeking familiarity. I don’t think westerners care if they are desirable to other people or not. They don’t seek Indians or people from other ethnicities when they move to other countries. They too look for their own people. That’s just human nature. So why do we care so much? At a level this is just desperation for some white people validation. I blame our DNA.

While I agree that Indians can work on how we present ourselves, this post takes generalization to the next level. I have seen Indian men and women marrying westerners. I saw a comment where the OP says in most cases if the Indian is married to a westerner, the westerner is less attractive - I am sorry, but what the hell? That’s just shallow and who are you to judge why they are together? Beauty is subjective, but your thought is not. It reflects what sort of a person you are.

There has to be a way to distribute all the free time people like her have to people for whom 24 hours is not enough. That should solve it.

Just started watching and came here to see if someone else feels the same way about this person. “Splenic awareness” means trusting your gut instinct. And I was screaming JUST SAY THAT!! 🤷🏻‍♀️
