what NOT to say or do to desi people!

non desis rt & desis feel free to add on
"why does ur food smell / stink?"
"calm down baljeet"
making fun of our names / mispronouncing on purpose sorry our names actually have meanings ashley :/
"omg ur desi? which part of india are u from?"

not all desis are from india get that into ur head.
"can i touch ur turban? 🥺"

no. fuck off.
learning / speaking in sanskrit and / or hindi for the ✨aesthetic✨

shut up ur pronunciation is shit.
"why is ur food so spicy? ew i can't eat it"

again if u don't like our food u can shut up ab it
"ur so dirty / gross for eating with ur hands"

last i checked u didn't use a fork to eat that slice of pizza swimming in grease so stfu
"i can't believe u guys use cow shit for medicine"

i'm so done w this.
taking pictures / videos in mosques and temples

it's a place of worshipping not ur fucking tourist spot either respect the place and the people around or leave.
speaking over us. again this doesn't just apply to desis but any minority!

if we tell u what ur saying / doing is offensive then fucking listen.
stealing from our culture(s) for ur own business

i'm talking specifically ab this tweet. https://twitter.com/ASOS/status/1386743162455171073
many desi households do not permit u to wear footwear inside. it's not in ur place to comment or complain either remove the footwear or leave.
treating us like fucking puppies or taking pics w us for clout u know exactly what kind of person i'm talking ab.

(i visited nyc once and the number of white girls who wanted to take pics just bc i was desi makes me want to d13.)
stop misusing our religion(s).

i don't know how many times i have to say this but if ur wearing a vermilion mark on ur forehead bc it "matches ur vibe" i will dropkick u.
i'm gonna be back to add more i needa go eat lunch
OH ALSO OMG THIS ONE

not including us in ur activism. we're asians too if ur gonna speak up ab things that are going on in asia fucking include us.
this too https://twitter.com/G4YN4TION/status/1387676103922180096
// abuse , alcohol

stop assuming every desi household has a stereotypical drunk abusive husband a fragile wife and scared children i don't need to explain how harmful this stereotype is
stop laughing at currymuncher jokes they're not made for u to laugh at
don't fucking wear mehendi none of y'all know how to use it and it gives me a headache everytime i see y'all doing this shit
not ever desi speaks hindi hindi isn't the 'language of desis' shut the fuck up there are several different languages YOU just didn't bother learning up ab them
making fun / ridiculing our music.

our music is wonderful i'm sorry ur parents played justin beiber instead of nagada sang dhol ig 😕
this? don't fucking do this.

there's so much to unpack from this but i'm not gonna waste my time explaining how fucked up this is.
if ur gonna speak in a language u don't know and refuse to correct urself it's better if u don't fucking speak. https://twitter.com/dollzai/status/1387685025697644552
