You expect them to be desi. They are NOT desi. I’ve witnessed a lot of cringe conversations when someone would ask if they watched cricket or some Bollywood movie. And act surprised if they didn’t. My favorite “you don’t go to Indian restaurant and eat Indian food every day..what a horror”
Gross labeling aside, if you really think they are “vipers”…imagine the people who raised them. Some of the posts here falls right into far right racist ideology.

C2 at this point my post is living rent free in your head.
Why do you differentiate between Americans and ABDs? I faced something similar when I moved to school in Singapore from India, and this might be different for you so I apologize if I am bringing in a personal bias. The moment I stopped looking at their color and just associated based on SES and country of origin/birth, things got a bit an easy for me... I actually bonded with a Pakistani friend who moved to Singapore just like me when my parents moved from India way more that Indian-Singaporeans born in Singapore. It's been 35 years, and we are still best of friends sharing our sorrows and happiness though we refrain from talking politics

ABD? Care to elaborate?
Thank you for sharing. I am doing my bit to keep my little ones in touch with their roots but also realize they were born and will grow up in this culture. Good to know what to expect.

I wouldn't generalize too much although every group probably has something that the other doesn't like.
I think ABDs have a chip on their shoulder because they've been picked on growing up and FOBs remind them of their parents.
FOBs are judgmental calling ABDs as ABCDs. Why call them confused. That's not right.
I wish we could just get along.
