I know the region has problems and the culture is far from perfect, but the region and culture has always seemed so exotic to me. "Temple of Doom" was my favorite Indiana Jones movie as a kid, and it was around age 10 that I first remember falling in love with Desi culture. I don't know how much I would like it if I actually went there, but I've always loved the wildlife, the art and architecture, the festivals, the Bollywood films and music, the women, their fashion and beauty standards, the barefootedness, their ancient sex culture, their yoga poses, their accents, their writing, their folklore, their rituals, their knowledge of math and computers, and recently their food. Also, how they've managed to modernize while at the same time keeping their traditional culture and values. It's not like I wanna adopt and become part of that culture, I'm not that extreme, and of course I don't like everything, but South Asian culture in general just seems so exotic and different from what I'm used to, but my White family and friends always struggle to understand why I'm so fascinated with it, especially since South Asians don't have the best reputation and the majority of White people are into EAST/SE Asian culture.

First and foremost let me just say, yes I am aware that the N-word is a slur, racially against African-Americans to be specific. But in much of the same way that cookie, monkey, ape, or the abbreviated version of raccoon is, and even Uncle Tom (fun fact: my half-Asian, half-Caucasian therapist's uncle is named Tom).

Today I went to a restaurant, and I will not mention which one because of privacy reasons, but this guy looked at me disturbed while I was greeting him with a simple "hi." I thought that he and a female coworker were being very rude for not greeting me back. I yelled, convincing him to say "hi" back. He was basically tone-policing me and I did not like that the two workers had poor manners.

Mind you I was raised in a semi-strict, bordering on conservative Christian household where manners were very much a big deal. The hi/hello/hey, please, thank you, and occasionally the sir/ma'am (my parents didn't require me to refer to them or their relatives as such).

Anyway, back on topic, I questioned their poor manners and went full on political (like I usually do in my emotional outbursts). This time instead of being anti-Trump I went full pro-Trump and even pro-DeSantis, but in my heart I was really mocking the fundamentalist part of the Trump and DeSantis fanbases for their lack of manners and for wanting to get rid of critical race theory.

I feel like these workers were very racist towards me. So I wanted to give a full shot by testing to see if they really were. I am not fully White, only about two-thirds (though I mark myself as such in applications). My paternal grandfather is mixed with Middle Eastern and Black. My Blackness veils in me, but I don't let it be the main factor of me. I never even considered myself Black before finding out my ancestors.

The way that I used the N-word, however, was not racist even with the hard 'r'. It was meant to be synonymous with "ignorant". The employee chased after me with a pocket knife and I ran away very quick.

I have had a conversation with some of my Asian friends recently telling me that a lot of Asian girls prefer mindlessly white dudes and that they are ''invisible'' to a lot of Asian girls.

I do not think that is the case. They feel invisible because of low self esteem. I think a lot of girls like Asians especially because of the rise of kpop and other media form asia...

But anyway I would like to know what you think.

Aka Be Asian. Seems like the Pandemic over foreign men ended in Asia?
