This is an NRI blog, yaar! You “real desis” can comment on sites like rediff.com.

When you seek to change the profile of the desi in America, who at present is the underdog with little representation, you treat the FOB (which is a better descriptor than the ridiculous DBD) as the same way that White America treats you South Asian Americans

Why do loads of DBD/FOBs say, “these ABCDs are slaves to the White americans” or “they (American-Born Indians) work under the white man”…..I’ve heard this numerous times over the past few years

I wonder if they will keep saying this if Barack Hussein Obama becomes President.

On a side note, anyone else notice the rise in discrimination from DBDs/FOBs and those living in the desh toward South Asian Americans/British Asians/Indo-Canadiens?

South-Asian Americans, that is, not South Asian-Americans.

All our bloggers and guest bloggers have been North American (except one).

What, no South American South Asians?

Exceptions are good. Please keep making exceptions.
