dear all indian women who wish to be white, i can understand how you feel that the white race is more beautiful than you.and i am deeply troubled by your dislikening for your heritage.i am white,and my aunt and cousin are indian through my fathers brother.i think indians are the most gorgeous race in existance.i think indian models are far more beautiful than ANY american model.i am deeply,deeply, attracted to indian women.Not once,have i ever seen an “ugly” indian individual (even men).you are all beautiful and dont let anyone else every tell you otherwise.Take pride in who you are,god made you indian for a reason.you’re all beautiful.:]-Amy(NY)

I too understand the place this comment stems from. I was born in Brooklyn, NY but I now live in the deep south. My parents are from Trinidad, my grandparents are from India. You look at me and I look Indian, you talk to me and I sound like an ABCD. The love of my life had the balls to tell me that I wasn’t “Indian enough” whatever that meant. I spent the majority of my life not fully fitting in anywhere. I didn’t understand why the “real desi kids” at school didn’t want to play with me. I so envied the box each of you fit into. I think I’ve finally grown up enough that I appreciate the paradox that I am. and people can only make you feel small if you let them. But I have to say I am more wary of “Indian” people than any other ethnicity. No other race has ever been as out and out mean.

By the way I was trying to give you advice I thought you could use, and I apologize if I was presumptious or arrogant about it. I may have made a mistake.

HMF brah, I want to give you some advice. This might seem presumptious but take it with a grain of salt. Use outrage, don’t let outrage use you. The time will come when you will be tested, and you’ll know it, because the wind will get knocked out of you, and you’ll go down on one knee. Consider these moments a blessing because then you’ll be in it for real. Do not waste your strength on battles that don’t need to be fought. Learn from everything around you. You do have a lot to learn still man. That’s not a knock on you, but it should actually be a relief. You’ll never save anyone no matter how many words you write or what thoughts you think. We’re all in this together, every last creature. Some people will help and some will hurt each other, and it might not be who you expect. Discount no one.

Sahej, you forgot to add, “Be…. excellent to each other…. party on dude..”
