He’s right about some things and Indians can be very racist, but black Americans are also some of the most xenophobic people around. I’m actually much more comfortable around white than black Americans for this reason.

Common South Asian Diaspora, just because this kid is brown doesnt mean he needs to be embraced.

Lets look beyond skin color, and if not, lets stop complaining when someone else points our’s out to us.
