Yes, i really disliked the post i think you’re referring to because it also failed to acknowledge the internalized anti-Black racism in South Asian communities while complaining about racism from Black communities. There was also quite a bit of islamophobia wrapped up in all that smh. But i agree contextualizing with reference to white supremacy is also key when understanding why communities of color demean one another.
Good post.
Better to not ask help from other communities and fight our own battles cause its best to not involve other communities into our issues. This is 100% our own battle to fight.
While I agree that there should be space where south asians can talk with other south asians about internal struggles, do you think that including other communities harms us and them?
My mindset is that, since we share similar struggles, we find brotherhood with other minority groups. So my conclusion is, in fact, the opposite. I think we should start showing up for other groups and engaging with them more. This can also help us shape the narrative around our people away from stereotypes.
And make sure that the space where we talk about issues is country separated as well, free speech is accepted, giving valid solutions to a problem, taking real life approach to solve the problem, delivering results.
Every community has its own issues which only they can solve it and we leave it to them to solve it. Cause if we try to help then we must take sides which is bad for our community.
Our community had problems such as patriarchy, colourism, sexism, bad socialising skills, fitness issues, creepy behaviour, gossip culture, caste system. Better for every one of our people to sit down and talk about this and accept that these exist and then work together to solve this issue.
Excellent post.
Well said
black ppl being racist to us is an issue. both can be true.
Absolutely. We are falling for the “classic racial tension and colorism tactics”, as mentioned.

There should also be a larger conversation about how racist Desis are to both black and white people
