News flash. They would still look at you as a brown skinned native. Does that make you feel let down? Used even?
Of course they do @doppelganger. A lot of them are nice. But still some of them make jokes about Indians being from slums and other jokes.
If someone gave me a choice to be born again, I would choose to be an Indian. I come from a culture that is thousands of years old, that gave humanity numerous advancements.
White people still hold stereotypes about India, and I challenge them on it. Just as India had caste system, white people had segregation.
I love Humanity. But I won't forget where have I come from. because Identity crisis is something immigrants deal with a lot. Why would I ditch my own heritage which makes me unique.
they can only make you feel let down and used if you have self-esteem issues.
To address my latter posts. I am an Atheist. Which I believe is not incompatible with Indian, Hindu culture. As there was a rationalist sect. The crux of my grievances is that Indian society should address clashes with mores and customs not through violence or judging other but through debate.
Indians have awesome food. We thrive and succeed wherever we go. And I enthrall my friends with stories from our puranas. Why should I be ashamed of that.
This is the important bit. I have acted petulantly, arrogantly and rudely for the last few posts. I should have calmly backed out and not wasted time.
I apologise. I hope you accept this apology
Edit: I am still sticking with my opposition to your ideology. But i should have been more magnanimous
