The rise in bigotry against south asians has grown in strength and fevour and I hope this article can help to talk about the effect that it has on those.
People who go to other countries to make a better life, are insulted, demeaned and treated like dirt is disgusting. not just the most vocal stuff the little comments the constant standard that you can never escape. It hits close to home as a jew.
"But there is no winning. If you slack, you are a menace to society, and if you are an over-achiever, you are stealing their jobs. Even in organisations that pride themselves on being more inclusive, so-called compliments such as “Oh, with your colour, you’ll fit right in” are casually thrown about.
And yet, we continue to chase the illusion that a “white man’s world” is where opportunity lies.
Back in India after a year, I am no longer reduced to the colour of my skin, the plumber is a holler away, and Fresh Off the Boat is once again just a TV show."
Bigotry is a poison and I hope this firsthand account can help draw attention to other members of this sub about this problem.
