The difference between how lighter skinned East Asian Americans are treated vs how darker skinned Indian Americans are treated is astounding.

It’s awful but not surprising, there’s a reason why “white passing” has been such a big topic of conversation over the past few years. While they still experience racism, it’s not as often as darker skinned minority groups

Meanwhile East Asians are just called “Asian” while Indians are called just Indian despite the fact that they are also Asian

Sounds like I’m downplaying it but I agree it’s INSANE to me that the color of someone’s fucking skin changes how they are treated as if our blood doesn’t all bleed the same. A good/bad person is not defined by the color of their skin I wish ppl could get that through their skull

It more seems like their background too like China today is associated with glitzy skyscrapers and luxury stuff while India is associated with slums and people doing gross things

The Chinese material culture is more similar to the west than the more traditionally minded Indian culture is
