Would you marry or consider a brown girl/guy for marriage knowing they were completely or mostly westernised. I.e. did not speak their mother tounge, did not even understand a word of [insert urdu, punjabi, other mother-tongue here], did not watch bollywood movies/dramas, did not particularly like asian food, or never dressed up in asian clothes, forced to take the day off and stay at home on eid and stuff etc etc…
I can speak the language but it’s not a priority for me and neither is the culture.. I don’t see colour or race as a barrier and I see culture as man-made and fluid.. For those reasons it doesn’t hold so much importance..
How exactly is that “confused” If I were to move to China or Malaysia I’d be fine with my kids being more into their culture or marrying someone from that background, same would apply if we were to live in Africa..
Whilst we’re on the subject of “confused” desis the first person who mentioned a gori being a “better investment” was actually against his own brother marrying one.. That’s what I’d call “confused”..
For me they’re confused and I don’t think confused desi neccesarily means confused muslims. However now that you’ve brought up religion, I think the “kinds” OP describe can easily be clueless about religion as well..
“Not comfortable in your skin” - another sly dig at people who don’t prioritise culture? You’re the one with a problem making comments about “confused” and such..
Live and let live.. you’ll be much happier for it..
Why is being a “westernised” desi seen as such a negative by some but if a white woman marries a desi and chooses to immerse herself in our culture (for ex mostly wearing shalwar khameez or saree and bringing up her kids to speak Urdu or Hindi) that’s a positive? She wouldn’t be call a “confused” white woman, would she..
