I'm British but I grew up in very upper working class, mainly Indian populated area.
I went to a very deserve school and had a very deserve friend group meaning growing up I got to experience lots of different cultures. I come round my friends houses and birthday parties and I'd eat there families food.
I'm not a pick me at all but I wasn't like the other children I was raised if I'm invited to someone's house I eat what I'm giving even if don't like the looks of it as it's extremely rude not to. Other children would turn their noses up at the other kid cultures and food etc and be like "ew that weird" but I was always extremely interested and up for trying new things.
I also grew being privileged enough to travel around to lots of different countries from as young as 4 so I never knew any different. My family were always friends with a lot of different types of people and we were always trying and seeing new things and that's actually some of my best childhood memories.
I'm so glad my parents raised me to be well cultured and to try new things and be respectful of different peoples cultures whilst also taking joy in them.
a lot of mine and my family's friends are British Indian and I've grown up going to their weddings, religious celebrations etc it's just second nature to me and I absolutely adore Asian food.
Now I've move to a more whiter area I have people joke but I'm more Indian than another actual Indian person and coming to me asking were the best places to go for a curry is etc. I don't mind so much it's just I don't want people thinking I'm trying to take there culture from them because I'm trying not to.
Whenever I cook for friends they always ask me to cook them Indian food because they think I'm really good at it and I'm lucky but I have a mum whose Indian friends have shared recipes with her and told her the best places to go for ingredients.
