“Yellow”.
Here, people usually prefer white over brown skin,even when brown is
the most rooted and native color in South Asia, soculturally people
believes, you will get brighter skin by applyingyellow turmeric
powder. Hence it reflects like yellow is actuallybrown color just cover
with turmeric.
“Asian”.
Asians may seem similar and categories as typicalby world due to
geography but we are heterogeneous, holding a vastheritage and
antiquity. also when you look from one end to otherpart of Asia, you
can see how diverse we are, but at the same time wehave similarities
throughout culture and geography. So you can say Asiansare
homogeneous yet heterogeneous. And it is on many differentlevels
vice versa.

Brown hindu
Ethnicity|part2.
Well, south asian and brown hindu are words that helpsto describe me
from others perspective ( globally) on surface level,but dynamic and
syncretic are descriptive on very individual levelwhich I gained with
time and experience, same for spritual and materialisticis what I have
become over time living with people around me andwith my society.
Differ from Asian stereotype(s).
Honestly I don't know if there is any perfect exampleof asian
sterotype, but I guess most of people globally considereast Asians
more as asian sterotype. For me as an individual,culture adaptability
and profession can distinguish on many levels.
A theoretical space without racism.
Most Probably I would be the same as I am now, butI really want
people to be unbiased towards any ethnicity or color,consciously /
subconsciously.
In one way it is good to be unique to be different, but why can't we
people react to it like colors red, blue, yellow etcbut not just black or
white.
Tell.
My childhood have a great have impact because of discriminationand
bullying, which pushed my personality toward a moreintrovert and
anxious person.
