An article from Wikipedia:
**American-Born Confused Desi, or ABCD for short, is a term **
**used to refer to Indian (and Pakistani), (Bangladeshi) **
**Americans born in the United States, in contrast to those **
**who were born overseas and later settled there. The **
**longer form “American Born Confused Desi, Emigrated From **
**Gujarat, House in Jersey” is also occasionally seen; **
**playing on the alphabet theme, it has been expanded for **
**K-Z variously as “Kids Learning Medicine, Now Owning **
**Property, Quite Reasonable Salary, Two Uncles Visiting, **
**White Xenophobia, Yet Zestful” or “Keeping Lotsa Motels, **
**Named Omkarnath Patel, Quickly Reaching Success Through **
**Underhanded Vicious Ways, Xenophobic Yet Zestful”.[1] **
**Among Indian Americans, the term may be considered **
**divisive, as first generation Indian Americans use it to **
**criticise the Americanization and lack of belonging to **
**either Indian or American culture they perceive in their **
second generation peers or children.[2]
**The “Confused” portion of the term, allegedly refers to **
**the identity crisis that many second-generation Indian **
**and other South Asian Americans face while navigating **
**between American and South Asian culture. The notion of **
**this identity crises comes from differences in accent, **
**dress, and etiquette between recent immigrants and **
**American Born Indians. Most ABCDs are perceived to have **
**strong ties to their Indian heritage, frequently visiting **
**friends and family in their country of descent. **
**Typically, they are also fluent in English, and can **
**understand an additional indian language (though **
**frequently unable to properly communicate or write it). **
**They also tend to understand both American and Indian **
**cultural value systems, but often do not participate **
**fully in either culture. There is also a perception that **
**ABCDs dislike recent immigrants, often colorfully **
**referring to them, using a slur of their own, FOB, for **
“Fresh Off the Boat”
**The idea of a well documented cultural identity crisis is **
**not unique to Indian Americans; British Asians often **
struggled with similar cultural conflicts.
**The term has also been used as the title of a movie **
**released in the United States in 1999, about the cultural **
**struggles of a young American of Indian ancestry.
