Re: Your appearance and desi culture
Few blogs and threads have made me ask this question. Why do desis make fun of others who are short or dark or fat or too thin?
I was one of the shortest girls in my year in school and many times other girls used to make fun of my height…even worse my relatives (aunts, cousins etc) were the same. I grew up with this inferiority complex about my height.
In western society, it’s totally different and the amount of attention and compliments I received here has somehow made me earn the confidence back.
Why are desis back home so mean?
its because they have nothing else to talk about…i have seen it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears, desi aunties (esp the ones living in Pak) talk abt nothing except relatives and their looks
They probably judge me more than desis do but not on my face. In desi and non-desi schools, among kids the reason of making fun and bullying can be understood but when I compare desi adults to non-desi adults, I think non-desi adults are polite about it. But again, I have no non-desi relatives and I don’t know how one’s non-desi relatives act in such situations. **But the general public is more understanding and accepting towards physical appearance issues in West.
**Having said that, I might be wrong and this could be just the way I perceive them.
well said :k:
