<p>Wow it seems like i’m late for this thread but anyway I’m Punjabi and unlike most of you I go to a school with a good amount of indians and lets just say I live near a city in canada infamous for its HUGE indo-canadian population 
</p>
<p>Lets just say it starts with a S and ends with a y</p>
<p>I’m bumping this. So, how’s your school year going?</p>
<p>I’m Bengali. It counts too, haha.</p>
<p>My dad: You need to decide what you want to do with your life within the next year. I won’t force you. I’m not like that. </p>
<p>Me: I was actually thinking of majoring in economics…</p>
<p>My dad: HAHAHAHA!!! Are you crazy?? Pick something that’s going to make you some money. Be a doctor or an engineer!</p>

<p>Hey guys, harvard scea '17 anyone?</p>
<p>Bumping the Desi thread here. You all were probably way too busy studying for MCAT or something.</p>
<p>^Why bump? The posters likely let the thread die, as is natural.</p>
<p>If you want to say something, open a new thread.</p>
<p>This one is dead.</p>
<p>Nah, I’m too lazy to do that. Oh well. Goodbye, old thread.</p>
<p><em>this</em> is where you belong @Apollo11</p>
<p>glad i could help :)</p>
<p>The new college confidential system just notified me of this.</p>
<p>Time to ruin the College Life section…</p>
<p>Lulz, JK, but I am surprised to see:
A. You know/remember my race
B. You care about coming to HSL and posting this
C. You’d bump the thread that is infamous for bumping</p>
<p>@Apollo11</p>
<p>i don’t remember your race silly. you think i remember every brown face that walks through these doors. nope. i don’t. they’re all pretty much the same to me. once you’ve seen a dozen you’ve seen them all. i couldn’t match their identical expressionless brown faces to their names if my life depended on it. the reason i know your race is i found it in your files. mhm, your files. i was looking through your files. and in one of the threads i looked at you mentioned being part indian. after you intruded in the college life thread i had to go through your files, you see, to find anything the least bit incriminating, and when i saw that you were part indian i knew i’d found what i was looking for - your shameful secret.</p>
<p>I’m not part Indian, rather 100%, and I’m really proud of my heritage. I’m literally royalty, and have immense pride in my culture, nation, religion and people. IDK what you mean to say, but I’m surviving and thriving as an Indian person in America. </p>
<p>BTW, the actual Aryan race is Indian, and so you know, there are Indian people who have blue eyes, blond hair and light skin.</p>
<p>okay let me just update your file then. to FULL indian. happy? that’s pretty awesome that your proud of your culture and stuff, i like people who feel a connection to their people, nation, culture, religion, yeah basically all those things you said. i see it as a positive. and indians i generally like. generally. when they STEAL the AP state scholar award i don’t, then i want to fight one. but when they’re not stealing our awards, my spot at college, my future profession that i can never even begin to aspire to because i know it’s going to be taken by an indian before i even get started down that road, then im cool with them. i’ll make them be my friends in class but only because i regard them as my greatest competition. so its really about more about keeping my enemies closest, but i can’t say i don’t like them. actually i really appreciate their company. i just know the minute i take my eyes off them they’ll jump ahead of me. i kind of keep them back, at my level, closer to where i am and try to sell them on this. like how my pace is actually the better pace even though its slower. and because im white, and they’re not exactly from america, they’ll typically go along with this. they might raise a suspicious eyebrow but if i ask them if its a suspicious eyebrow then that settles it and my authority is safe. </p>
<p>actually one of the things i get accused of by my friends is liking brown people because they’re brown, but they have this way wrong. they’ll literally tell me that when i like someone that <em>happens</em> to be brown, that, no, i like him or her because he or she is brown. but that’s <em>so</em> not what it’s about. it’s about keeping the enemies closer thing. you believe that right, you guys. right? right? they don’t believe it.</p>
<p>yeah that’s pretty interesting. when it gets all geographically ambiguous then you can be white and be anything. its that special region in europe or asia or is that northern africa? there’s really no clear boundaries. it’s the special region where the jews came from, the region where the scholarly class of indians first arose (i keep wanting to remember what they’re called but i forget, it’s the group with the preponderance of academics). im so not from there. my people get traced to like 200 miles north of there, to the barbarian savage tribes. you know, i don’t think i want to talk about this anymore. it hurts, it really hurts. but its all due to the internet that a descendent of barbarians, of savages, of village idiots, that a descendent of one of those, like me, can talk to you, a descendent of those special people. you know that thousands of years ago your people erected barriers, walls, to keep my people out, from trying to raid your people, steal your animals, and bring our disorder to you. but now because of the internet those barriers aren’t there anymore, its great, but also sad. because i see beyond those barriers to what im missing and what i am not, now.</p>
<p>Old person, go home.</p>
<p>You’re in college.</p>
<p>Hello, fellow desis. Is anyone here Tamil?</p>
<p>Nope, and it seems like the majority of Indians in my area are Tamil/Dravidian/Southern Indian.</p>
<p>@Apollo11, lucky! Everyone in my area is literally a Patel. Or from somewhere in north India. Where mah fellow idlis at?</p>
<p>^I find that southern Indians are as similar to myself as the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis in my area, which actually is good, since all of us then get along really well.</p>
