Thanks to you a strange thought occured to me - that running a sharp knife through a cushiony bed must be exciting and that might assuage a person in times like these. I am guessing that I feel this way because I am really mad at YOU. yes, I AM really mad at you and REALLY mad at you.
I genuinely hope I don't become like (one of) you someday. Everytime you talk to me condescendingly I thought it was just your personality because you "must" be nice as someone in your position ought to be. But when I see you sucking upto non-Indians, I find it hard to convince myself that you are normal. I know you act like this to me because I am also an Indian. This is the worst form of racism. I bet you wouldn't dare show this attitude to some white woman. And thanks to you, I said something I promised I'd never even feel leave alone say - that I dread dealing with Indians. And thanks to you Tendulkar's innings is the last thing in my mind. And I hope this post serves as some sort of catharsis.

Kid, not OK. I've been a victim of racism practised by many Indians.
Ajay, you can imagine my "aattharam" now. Right?
Laksh, have you experienced this too? I am all ears.

ReplyDelete...btw na thiripi vandhu moonu post potaachi...
well, I think the fundamental problem with these people is that after a few years of living in the US, and after getting accepted in some firangi social group, they consider themselves to be firangii too.
ReplyDelete..and that's the reason for the condescending behavior towards fellow desi's. Funny part is they join the Firang's while mocking and making fun of India and Indians.

ReplyDeletewhen i was new to the US, i tried to talk the same way to Indians and others. but now, i dont. reason: Indians dont greet or say "Hi" heartily, but in a very restrained , nervous kind of way, or they totally snub u. so i try to be selective, too. and Americans, too , differ from place to place , from very friendly in some cities like Raleigh, to Indian-like variability in Dallas. At my son's school, Thai parents are the most friendly. At the Indian Grocery, Neplai students are very nice. I dare not smile at or greet an "un-introduced"
ReplyDeleteIndian at my son's school, for fear of being snubbed. and some American parents ,too.( sorry if this is too long ).
